I didn't say I don't discuss FOSS or these things openly. I was making an observation that the parts of that which is traditionally considered "geek culture" that are actually counter-cultural in any way (like FOSS) have become "uncool" again, whereas the pop-culture aspects of it have been absorbed into the mainstream.

Yep. I didn't say you do or don't discuss anything. I am saying *I*, and others, SHOULD discuss them openly and proudly. And FOSS was never cool or uncool. It's an individual who decides that.
