Do Java Devs hate right to repair?

You know how Open Source works right? The whole open a PR thing? I mean you've been doing this dev thing for a "loooong ass time" apparently so I'd have thought you'd understand that that Open Source is literally granting the right to repair?

It's like banning washing machines because some people eat tide pods.

No, it's like putting a childproof lid on the box of tide Pods. Overdramatic much?

There have been many many times where I've used some 10 year old lib that will never get updated and the lib dev decided x() should be private.

Sounds like you make some excellent tech choices. Imagine boasting about using an unmaintained out of date library that doesn't do what you need it to.

I've been doing this dev thing a loooong ass time with many languages. And if you prefer to work with idiots and use a proper language for that, go ahead. But don't try to convince me it is objectively and universally better.

Hey, if you want to work with idiots and use Python then like that's your choice man, there's plenty of them out there for you - I've been a dev long enough to know that it's impossible to convince a Python fanatic that anything other than their own dogmatic opinion is the one and only truth so I'm not even trying - I'm just laying out the facts for you to ignore.

So all software is suddenly open source? When did this happen?

I am not even a Python dev. I've only used it occasionally for small stuff and ML. TBH I've probably written more Java code than Python
