alt Hacker News> By using uv, you are literally supporting the people who want to make you unemployed for stock options.
By using any FOSS or software produced by software developers and programmers, you are supporting the idea that computation can and should be automated, instead of having humans doing it. This is the origin of computing, and what we've been doing so far, and it continues to "eat the world" via automation, just like the past decades of it.

That is a false equivalency. FOSS started as a counter movement against Microsoft in order to escape from surveillance and corporate control.
The AI cartel is the new Microsoft.
It is amazing how software developers have been brainwashed. Ted Ts'o, Google employee and pro-AI shill at Debian and LWN, recently argued that supporting AI is similar to supporting the Internet in 2000.
That is another fallacy. The Internet is a common carrier and was supposed to lead to freedom in 2000. It has nothing to do with outsourcing your thinking to a bunch of wannabe trillionaires.
What is the word? "Facetious"?
Maybe you left the L out on purpose, maybe you didn't. In any case: the L is about who is (or is able to) doing the automating. Users, not programmers, should be in charge.
It's so human that many software engineers started to worry about automation and being replaced when it started to be something that might affect them.
