I'm still on the fence on what free-will actually is if humans can be "programmed" at all. What's to say those against indoctrination weren't "programmed" themselves?

Then we can't blame the programmed for trying to program 🤷‍♂️ It's what they do

A discussion? Alright, I'll give a poor attempt.
Are these programmed humans morally responsible and punishable for their actions?

Github Desktop, and similar clients, are great ways to get started without learning terminal codes. You'll need to understand branches, pushing, pulling, fetching, merging, and history in general, at the least, so I recommend reading up on those.
