Those of us old enough to remember BBS servers or even rainbow banners often go down the nostalgia hole about how the internet was better “back in the day” than it is now as a handful o…
Lol, no. Also, big diff between associating with and being actively married to.
Anyway I’ve edited my comment and I’ll repeat tye edit here: You all are reading way too far into me bringing this up. Didn’t say this to invalidate his point, mostly wanted to highlight something that I find most people don’t know about him. It’s something I think is important considering how much he styles himself as an idealogue/icon for technological freedom. He still makes good points, but the position he’s doing it from should be known is all.
… yes. I’m not an idiot, thank you for the implication otherwise though. That’s always nice.
Perhaps you’re not familiar with just how outspoken Cory has been about all of this sort of stuff over the years. I think his wife’s job is an important disclosure that has not been made, so I highlighted it. Same as a youtuber disclosing a video was a sponsorship, it could impact how their words should be interpreted, but it just as easily might not effect things in any significant way.
I’ve made my very minor point. I even specified in my initial comment that she is very likely involved with DRM, but not guaranteed to be.

Only you can decide how much or how little his wife’s job means. I just wanted people to be aware.
Your minor point was to associate him with his wife as if they agreed. Hence my response. I have no idea about your intelligence level, just about your apparent misunderstanding of relationships.

I don’t get it. It’s like every point you appear to be making about Doctorov’s association with his wife’s employer is rendered invalid but you keep restating the seemingly-identical position.
One more time, maybe? “Ha ha, just pointing out whom his wife is for no bearing on the value of his opinions but you know where his wife works, right?” is a weird point to NOT be making about his credibility.
Is he, or has he ever been, a communist or associated with communists! We demand an answer!

You do know you can be married to someone and not agree with their politics, yes?
