You should revisit this in a year, I think you'll understand how you came off a bit better. TL;DR: horrible idea to show up gossiping to cast aspersions, then disclaim responsibility because it's by proxy and you didn't understand, on a professional specialist site.

Your rationale for your choices doesn't really matter, you made the choice to cast aspersions, repeatedly, on multiple stories in multiple comments.

Handwaving about how the truth will come out through discussion, even when you repeatedly cast aspersions you disclaim understanding of, while also expressing surprise you got a reply, while also always making up more stuff in service of justifying the initial aspersions is indicative of how coherent your approach seems to the rest of us.

In general, I understand why you feel patronized. Between the general incoherence, this thread, and the previous thread where you're applying not-even-wrong, in the Pauli sense, concepts like LTS and Linux kernel dev to this situation, the only real choice that lets anyone assume the best of you is you're 15-25 and don't have a great grasp of tech yet.

Otherwise, you're just some guy gossiping, getting smarmy about it, with enough of an IQ to explain back to yourself why you didn't mean to do it. 0 idea why someone older and technical would do all that on behalf of software they don't use and don't understand.
