   You're right about one thing: OmniMix apparently does offer source access   
   through a quirky one-click self-recompiling installer. I missed that, and for   
   the crime of calling it "closed source," I hereby sentence myself to a week of   
   digital flagellation.    
   Mea culpa. Now that we've cleared that up, can we please move on from the   
   drama?   
      
   That said, let's not pretend OmniMix is running on some benevolent operating   
   system handcrafted by privacy monks. It runs on WinZOZ a platform built from   
   the ground up to harvest user data, enforce DRM, and serve corporate masters.   
   You can wrap it in all    
   the transparent wrappers you want, but it's still sitting on top of a   
   surveillance monolith. As far as i'm concerned i don't use WinZOZ since XP,   
   for the record.   
      
   You accuse me of "disinformation" and "egomania," but you're the one twisting   
   legitimate criticism into personal offense. Is it that painful to see someone   
   praise code outside your Microsoft-centric bubble? Privacy is not a brand   
   war-at least not for me.    
   For you? I'm starting to wonder.   
      
   If you truly believe in pushing things forward, start by dropping the purity   
   tests and the righteous outrage. I'm happy to correct mistakes, but don't   
   mistake that for backing down from my principles: freedom of thought,   
   decentralization, and a healthy    
   distrust of anything with a EULA longer than a dystopian novel.   
      
   So yes #FreeUkraine, #FreeTibet, #FreeGaza, and while you're at it, maybe also   
   #FreeYourMind.   
      
   Cheers,
