 "rms has led the free software movement for 40 years. his asset is his flaw. he is stubborn. extremely stubborn. absolutely unwilling to deviate, admit fault, change, or back down." Relatedly, there was a talk at LibrePlanet this year suggesting that one major failing is the temporal gulf between when the FSF developed their talking points & when computers became relevant to people... @makeworld @j3s me either, but it does seem to fit! jes, thanks for honoring both the need for realism (and rest) and the desire for idealism. This is a lovely piece. It's making me think in a different way about what to work on next.  @makeworld Also thanks, since I discovered the #permacomputing concept https://permacomputing.net btw: poor rms :( seeing some people that wants him to leave  @makeworld @j3s >nobody wants to use 10 year old thinkpads that can barely manage a youtube video. Well on the other hand, mine W520 is still my main work machine, and I can watch YT videos just fine :D. No need to replace it every 2-3 years; I will use this machine to the very end if need be. It has earned it's keep and rest. @makeworld good stuff, free software movement is/was like a 'free gift' capital appropriated for itself? |
@makeworld 🙇 ty!!
