    Software is not political, it’s just code executing on a machine and doesn’t care what you believe.
    There is a lot of politics surrounding software.

    Politics is the tool we use, as a society, to decide how we’re going to run said society. There will be areas of politics where different factions will adopt different attitudes about different bits of software. So, some software will be politicized. But, the software itself is only political in so far as we are having political discussions around it, the software itself doesn’t care.

      You can’t convince me printer software/drivers/firmware doesn’t have an agenda. They work for every single test page any time or any where but you need to print something important they will riot.

        Yes well, but they are coded by pure evil incarnate. Otherwise known as HP.
