I’ll be blunt and say you certainly sounds like someone “post money” talking if castes and such. Glad you got your nut and do not care how it shakes out.

What is sad about oss? What is it turning into? I will say far before ai came in oss was a few arms deep in the techfluqncer culture where motivations were driven by gh stars and follow counts rather than a genuine interest. Or maybe what was a genuine interest became twisted as the culture changed.

I do care, it's why I commented what I commented. ;P

I already acknowledged that "caste" is an incorrect word choice and I could've done better there, but my core point remains unchanged.

Considering the reactions, it was a very amusing "mistake" to make (a bikeshedding lightning rod so to speak).

Though I guess "caste" is a bit more sensitive in some cultures, which might explain why some commentators hyperfixate on that part of your comment.

There is no need for quotes around "mistake". ;P
