It’s just a FOSS argument vs a closed source argument. It happens with everything. Look at Linux and Windows. Android and Apple. I agree that it can be annoying, and I don’t partake myself, but it’s not really that big of a deal as long as nobody is being personally attacked. This kind of discussion won’t really be detrimental to this platform.
Manual versus automatic is a pretty good way to put it. I like your analogy. It’s just a dumb argument for about how people want their personal things to work.
I can completely understand the annoyance with how many posts have been made about it. I am a developer who has contributed to FOSS projects, so I hear arguments like this all of the time amongst peers. I could personally care less just like you. I use little bits of both depending on my use case.
I mean. If we’re going to ride that analogy it sounds like sync is an automatic transmission while FOSS is manual.
I just want to get where I want to go. Who cares how it happens? It’s not like sync is imessage and fucks things up for other users
My past was a reaction to a LOT of vitriolic anti-sync posts and comments. They’re all over and they’re baffling
