So is the FSF opposed to Chrome OS? Stallman's latest essay (http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/who-does-that-server-really-serve.html http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/who-does-that-server-really-se...) seems to suggest this.
- rimantas 17y agoLooks like he confuses control with freedom. Sometimes I get a lot of freedom exactly by giving up control for someone else to worry about. Now I then I see Amazon's Kindle incident mentioned. And in context like this they conveniently forget to mention that Amazon made it possible to download the book again or get a refund. Nor do they quote Amazon spokesman: "We are changing our systems so that in the future we will not remove books from customers' devices in these circumstances." First don't use Word and iWorks, now don't use SaaS. Don't use this, don't use that. I can now longer grasp Stallman's vision of freedom, but now I am pretty sure it scares me. If RMS is willing to paint himself into the corner of his cave, all power to him.
