     So that's the way you try to wriggle out of your lies?  With further   
   lies?   
      
     You blamed OmniMix for being "closed source software" multiple times

   | Before calling others stupid, maybe try providing an actual link to   
   OmniMix's "source code.   
   |   
   | I have not found an official repository called OmniMix with all the source   
   code on sites like GitHub, GitLab, SourceForge or other repositories.   
   |   
   | On the official website there is no indication of OSI-approved licenses such   
   as GPL, MIT, Apache, etc.   
   |   
   | License is a key element in open source.   
   |   
   | Installation with a proprietary EULA/agreement is another typical sign of   
   closed source software.   
      
   | You install your closed, shitty software with one click, accepting licenses   
   that you will never read and will never be aware of, nor what diabolical pact   
   you said you agreed to, and I'm the stupid one.

   | And seriously, you're gonna defend some closed-source Windows software?   
   Omnimix?   
      
   | So you can keep your shady, closed-source junk. We'll stick with code that   
   doesn't have a secret handshake for the feds.   
      
     and that you're a deliberate liar and not only an ignorant idiot shows

   | 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?   
      
     where you already had to admit to know about source code availability.   
      
     You're simply a mean asshole who tries to play his guileful game of   
   vilifying a reputable software contributor again and again.  And by   
   doing so you're also pissing on all of us here in a.p.a-s.  That's   
   disgusting!  I think there's no need for mentally ill creatures like you   
   and your buddy Claas in this group.  Face it, you're wrong here.
