The Evolution Of Linux Evangelism
The evolution of every Linux convert in two frames! First panel: the newbie phase where you bash Windows with zero nuance—"Windows sucks" and nothing else. Pure tribalism. Second panel: the enlightened user who appreciates Linux for actual technical reasons like customization, package management, and resource efficiency. It's that perfect transition from "I use Linux because I hate Microsoft" to "I use Linux because I can compile my own kernel while sipping coffee and watching my uptime counter hit 200 days." The second reason is infinitely more respectable, even if we all secretly started with the first one.

Where's Waldo But With Backdoors
The sweet innocent smile of contributing to open source vs. the ABSOLUTE HORROR when you realize intelligence agencies might be lurking in your pull requests! 😱 Your cute little "fixed a typo" commit? CONGRATS, you just helped the CIA, FSB, and Mossad improve their surveillance code! Free and Open Source Software becomes Free and Open Spying Software when the alphabet soup agencies decide your project looks like a PERFECT place to slip in some "extra features." Nothing says "community-driven development" like wondering if that random contributor from nowhere is actually a spy with a government paycheck! TRUST ISSUES ACTIVATED!

The Open Source Paradox
Ah, the classic Linux purist paradox. You've got your system running pure FOSS, compiled your own kernel, and refuse to install proprietary drivers... then proceed to spend 8 hours on Reddit complaining about Nvidia while downloading Steam games. The cognitive dissonance is strong enough to power a small datacenter. Next you'll tell me you use Signal on your Google Pixel.

The License Plate Is My Favorite
What happens when Richard Stallman designs transportation? You get this monstrosity - a vehicle so free it's practically anarchist. The license plate says it all: pure, unfiltered hatred for proprietary drivers. This is peak FOSS evangelism on wheels. The solar panels aren't just for energy - they're a political statement. And of course Windows are bloat - they probably add at least 2GB to the car's weight. The stuffed GNU mascot instead of a rearview mirror is just *chef's kiss* - safety regulations are just another form of proprietary control anyway.
