- analognoise 8y agoA 'free' computer that doesn't actually run any of the tools you need is worthless. Makes a good doorstop, I guess.
- 794CD01 8y agoIndeed. You are free to modify it to run those tools, or create alternate tools that do run (maybe not so much after Oracle v Google). But ain't nobody got time for that.
- analognoise 8y agoThis is such a bullshit argument. I don't want to spend my time making a toaster - I just want toast. Also this is why FOSS software continually reinvents the wheel, badly. Want some BS program? There are a million of them. Want an actual tool that requires deep talent and domain knowledge? Outside of compilers, if it's FOSS, it is almost certainly garbage.
- 794CD01 8y agoI think you are imagining the argument you want to see. Your comment is not responsive to what I actually wrote.
