Positive users praise the meme of Jesus favoring open source software for its voluntary giving and faith alignment, while negative users call it blasphemous misuse of religious imagery for tech points.

@messeduppcs As a Christian, I unironically believe Jesus would be a fan of VLC Media Player.

@messeduppcs OSS is by definition leftist|
"Open Source Software is a prominent example of open collaboration, meaning any capable user is able to participate online in development, making the number of possible contributors indefinite."

@messeduppcs Will Jesus like better than reality elephant like elephant with blue eyes

@messeduppcs Even the most conservative people today would be radically progressive for the 1st century. The goal posts have moved a lot

@messeduppcs BSD or GPL though? Another great schism.

@messeduppcs Jesus is here today. He's quite fond of TempleOS

@messeduppcs This is canon, btw. Open source is a voluntary sharing of resources that you're not required to partake in if you so wish.

Jesus: wait, most children survive beyond 5 years of age? Instead of half to one third? Tell me more about this penicillin thing.

@TealComet @messeduppcs I dont get the mass obsession with VLC, MPV exists and is objectively better

@messeduppcs Yeah, we need to ask him the important question.

@messeduppcs Jesus would never say this

@Kilchii_Ahiga @messeduppcs "I'm a leftist & I like this thing, so it must be left too."
OSS relies on copyright licenses, decentralized user initiative, & contributions. If we're talking politics it would be a capitalist/libertarian coop.
No everything has to (or needs) to align with politics, anyway.

@messeduppcs Jesus would totally be a linux aficionado.

@messeduppcs can’t unsee it now

@sipping_Pyro @messeduppcs In certain aspects, yes, in others, no. Opinions were very different, not just more conservative.
