Lol, sure it is. Ridiculous.

replyA more generous term is civil disobedience. I think the argument is the original theft was using tax payers dollars on fancy tracking devices in the first place.
replyIt's not civil if it's law breaking.
replyThat's literally exactly what civil disobedience is.
replyNo that's uncivil disobedience. The difference is inaction vs action.
replyYou might wish to do some cursory research before arguing further. For example, as a starting point, the Wikipedia page on civil disobedience has an entire section labeled "Action" listing counterexamples.
reply> Civil disobedience is the active and nonviolent refusal to obey certain government laws, demands, or commands to achieve social change or protest injustice
replyMost associated with MLK Jr, who explicitly advocated breaking the law
Civil means nonviolent. There were laws against blacks sitting at certain counters in some areas of the US in the past. Those laws were broken without violence. That's civil disobedience.
replyPlease at least try to understand what you're talking about; you're embarrassing yourself.
That’s not a group associated with or really related to deflock. Deflock at most has stickers and signs to put up.
replyYes, and according to Steve Ballmer (back in the day) Linux Torvalds was a terrorist. People are allowed to say stupid things.
replyI don't think this is true, I can't even find anyone else claiming this happened.
replyI don't remember him calling Linus a terrorist, though there were others that associated anything with a copyleft licence to be the loony left (or the commie left).
replyHe certainly referred to both him and Linux as cancers though, that I do remember. He later changed his mind on that, and IIRC may even have publicly apologised for those statements.
He said Linux is a cancer, which was a stupid thing to say, but not the same as calling Linus a cancer. I say plenty of bad things about software that I would not say about the people who create it. I think Next.js is awful to use but that doesn't mean I think everyone at Vercel is an awful person, for example.

replyby "say stupid things," you of course mean "tell bald-faced lies"
replyThe most notable one: "Developers, developers, developers!"
replyPeople are allowed to say stupid things....and those people should be held accountable for the stupid things they say
replyEveryone who is not content with the way I do business must be a terrorist for sure. o_o
