I suspect the answer lies in the method by which people saw the question. Like, if you went up to people standing in line at a bank, or outside a concert or soemthing and pulled out a paper-based photograph and said “I saw this yesterday, what could it be?” you’d get the answers you were probably expecting. (As to the actual quesiton, yeah I dunno)

But if you post contrails on a website and say something to the effect of look at these contrails, then all the contextual clues you’ve given so far are the same that have been used by a lot of Qanon and other batshit crazy people who recently decided a demented orange rapist was equivalent to Jesus for them. I’m just saying it’s a totally different context from what you were probably intending.

That’s my guess as to “why” people saw it through a lens of “politics”. Less about actual scientific content, more about media theory.

I’ll agree.

I love open source too, but this:

i know the privacy concernes they may have, but they would never do anything bad to you.

Is just super problematic. I appreciate the enthusiasm for open source, but google is a monopoly actively involved in making the internet worse in order to profit from it. They do this by leveraging your personal information, and that’s bad.

Note that this does not apply to Microsoft. Like, at all. :)

Doooooooooooommm!!!
