From my view, all software is political in some sense. And if a software claims that isn't political is a political statement in itself. And with the recent dubious statement from Linus in the Kernel of Linux. I think we should either think about it or discuss about it.

What is the political intention that is happening in this.

All feedback is welcomed.

post title: every line of code is political

comment: the game kirby for gameboy has code written for it which polls the registers for the status of the button inputs

reply: its a strawman (not) argument to give and example of very generic code to (not) showcase the absolutism of a statement that is all inclusive (every) to remove nuance from an argument.

rere: nuance and also, how dare you hint that i want "to look smart". i want to look like a comment but now you made me blush
