My car is a EV so not every. So your saying Teslas don't have buttons for example?

I have a Citroen Berlingo and everything except the Android Auto stuff is operated by buttons. What cars don't use buttons? And for what features?

You can watch YT without google account.

Code is completely separate from the community. Community is formed by people and code is just bunch of instructions. What if a fascist forks your projects and adds features to it? It your code fascists now? Does your community support fascists? Of course not. And if a fascist submits a patch to your project and you accept it it does not mean you're collaborating with fascists now and your projects is tainted. That's just absurd. "You're a bad person so I will not merge this bugfix, I will write the exact same fix by myself so that my code stays pure".

Ok, as I said I'm not an expert. What is it then? A monster?

Interesting point. Well, if it's up to me I would even share the donations with this piece of shit. Because what do you mean by "supporting him"? Letting him earn some money by doing work? What's the alternative? Letting him starve to death? Personally I'm against death penalty so I do believe that even the worst piece of shit has the right to work and earn living. And frankly, writing code seams to be perfect way for such a person to do it: they are not around other people so no one is in danger and they are not spreading his sick opinions. And people like this earning their living are better than society maintaining them out of our taxes.

It absolutely does not make anything 'icky', it's a silly way to look at it, childish really. If a convicted murder bags your groceries is your food icky? If a child rapist cleans your street is the street icky?

And here we're not talking about murder or rape, just some online posts. Opinions don't taint code. I know people like to cancel everyone now but this is really getting absurd. The only "concern" users have is a concern that this week they didn't get outraged enough and didn't cancel enough people.

You're confused. We're not talking about countries turning right, we're talking about countries being anti-intellectual. It's not the same. Far-right Spanish parties are not anti-intellectual, far-right UK parties are not (IMHO) anti-intellectual. Also, is the other way around: people are not voting for far-right parties because they are anti-intellectual. Attacking education is just a tool used by right with parties to create division between "us" (the God fearing, traditional values loving conservatives) and "them" (the educated elites that want to destroy the traditional way of living). The growing anti-intellectual sentiments is just a result of right wing parties gaining power, not the other way around.

It's prevailing in some countries as I explained, not in the entire world IMHO.

Personally, I would accept a PR from a convicted murderer if the code was good. It would be a problem I would have to have meetings with this person but if he just submits code why would I care? There are no political opinions in code. It's not like code written by a rapist somehow pollutes my codebase.

Edit: but Iโ€™m not British, so I could be wrong.

Same, I'm not British so I'm basing this only on what I've see in the news but as I see it it's more about nationalism and racism than anti-intellectualism. It's more like "it's time to stop listening to the economists and just kick all the foreigners out". You know, as in experts might be right about the economy suffering but we don't care, we just want "our country back". I really don't see a lot of "education is bad, universities are bad" propaganda from UK right. Boris was definitely pretending he didn't got to the elite schools and clubs but the rest of recent PMs do not.

Yes but Auto Cookie Delete does that on tab close. No need to close the entire browser.
