The proximity with that rough cultural area is only incidental, I think. In fact, I think if you sit around for 10 mlre years, the tide will have entirely turned.

I'm not gonna get into detail, but for me, some defining elements:

- A compulsive need to criticize, demean and replace every piece of code written in C by Rust (rarely, it's another language).

- A willingness and strong activism to separate from figures that created the FOSS landscape, like Richard Stallman.

- A sort of laxism towards non-free software, and a particularly cringy hype towards corporate lip service paid to OSS, or trojan horses.

- Subtle propositions made to consolide FOSS communities around centralized services, and promiting those.

This isn't exhaustive, because it's just off the top of my head.
