Obvious privacy issues aside, Stallman has always come off - to me - as someone who doesn't really see the bigger picture.
That depends heavily on the definition of "bigger picture". You seem to think practicality is most important, while for someone like rms, the bigger picture is in the realm of ethics and human rights.
That said, everyone's entitled to their own opinion.
- xook 10y agoIn the context of Stallman's views, I mean. FOSS is important, but if writing a successful proprietary program keeps someone out of debt then it is a necessary evil. There are many other variables that would have to apply, I know. But for the sake of argument it is just focusing on the conventional problem of (paying for) everyday living.
