Makes me feel RMS is not crazy afterall.
- verytrivial 10y agoIt is a bit sad that someone is often (jokingly) referred to as crazy because of consistent application application of a defensible moral position. I think people get stuck on the idea that it is difficult for users to get as good an experience with free-only software, or that it is difficult to make money creating that software. That's a different problem and not an argument he engages with his zeal. Choosing to defend freedom and not support tyranny is a moral decision not a purely economic calculation. Edit: I just R'd the FA and speaking as a non-US citizen, I will not visit that country for the foreseeable future.
