Gregory's Server@nicemicro why should we, free software activists, not advocate for professionals to use free (as in freedom) software?

  @nicemicro why should this even be an either-or? Why should we not expect to have professional-quality software that is freedom- and privacy-respecting? @rysiek I agree with you in this, as that should be the goal. You are right, and we should make business owners aware of the risks of proprietary software. My approach in this regard is more pragmatic, and in that, individual private users are the ones who get most damaged by proprietary software as they aren't even gonna make money on it. And for private use, #FreeSoftware alternatives are perfectly viable. This is my approach. |
@rysiek because in a business your first consideration is to make as much money as efficiently as possible, so if someone says "I NEED Photoshop to be able to do my job", I tend not to pretend that I know better.
