NGL I'm hella uncomfortable with the way fossbro gets thrown around to describe anyone who is pro open source because 1) feels like you're just going to bat for Microsoft 2) feels weird because of how many FOSS nerds are trans women who would resent being called "bro"

@0x4d6165 Hm, I mainly see it used to describe the kind of FOSS enthusiast who is unreasonably evangelist about it and - crucially - ignores individual circumstances in the process. AFAIK that's the root of the term - techbro behaviour, but applied to FOSS evangelism.

I would *hope* that that is still how it is used, but perhaps it has scope-creeped...
