I told (past-tense) a person (singular) to consider founding a company in the context of their individual circumstances, while reassuring them that if they chose not to that I would support that decision; in a discussion entirely unrelated to the one we're having now.

You are arguing in bad faith and I have no interest in entertaining it any further.

Ironic, because this entire comment chain was started by you with a loaded question that was asked in bad faith. I guess it's fine when you do it, but not others, eh? Is this the same mentality you're holding in regards to sourcehut? "It's fine that I'm building something that may be used nefariously, but when Google employees do that, they're bootlickers"?

The fact that you still dodged the question is duly noted, btw.

I'll remind you that this "line of questioning" wasn't intended to bash SourceHut or you in any way, but rather to try to get you to empathize with the fact that "quit your job and stop working on things you enjoy just because someone on the internet disagrees with your company" is hardly a winning stance to take.

You are obviously arguing in bad faith. You pose the rhetorical:

> Is this the same mentality you're holding in regards to sourcehut? "It's fine that I'm building something that may be used nefariously, but when Google employees do that, they're bootlickers"?

And yet it was previously asked:

> Who is using SourceHut to build software I disagree with on ethical terms? I am not aware of such a project.

It is clear to me that Drew has declared an absence of knowledge of such malfeasence with his products.
