While I agree, you started the conversation by breaking Godwin's Law. I don't think Applebaum paid particularly close attention to your piece, but I probably wouldn't either in his position. A cursory skimming of your post reads as, "would you eat a sandwich from Hitler? No? Then why do you use software from Applebaum?" I don't think that's a fair distillation of your argument, but it is reasonable to think that someone briefly scanning your work might think it to be so.

Complaining about tech speech being hyperbolic whilst simultaneously [implicitly] comparing Applebaum to Hitler is a little ballsy, tbh.
