I manage some servers and awk can be useful to filter data. If you use commands like grep, and use the pipe operator (the " | ") command, awk can be very handy.

Sure, a Python script can do that as well, but doing a one-liner in Bash is waaay faster to program.

It has always been. FOSS is by itself political, just beyond the basic binary logic of left/right.

Your apoliticism is a political instance as well. Take for instance this quoute from Desmond Tutu “If you are neutral in situations of injustice, you have chosen the side of the oppressor.”

I’m not saying you have to ditch Proton over their CEO’s takes, my point is that thinking that everything suddenly became political is naive.
