Every day Stallman seems a little less unreasonable to me.
One reason you should not use web applications to do your computing is that you lose control. It's just as bad as using a proprietary program. Do your own computing on your own computer with your copy of a freedom-respecting program. If you use a proprietary program or somebody else's web server, you're defenceless. You're putty in the hands of whoever developed that software.
In the shadow of Facebook, who would disagree with this?

- dagw 16y agoI disagree that I should care about who's computer I do my computing on. As long as I retain control of my data and the software, why should I care who is the owner of the metal box full of electronics that that software happens to be running on?
- rimantas 16y agoI am just not obsessed with total control. There are things I care about, and there are things I don't. If you use a proprietary program or somebody else's web server, you're defenceless Uh, oh. I am there for convenience, not to fight.
