I used to think he was "crazy" and I disregarded a lot of what he said. Recently I was reading the FSF website and I realized a lot of the stuff on there is actually full of some pretty good points, even if it's sometimes presented in a slightly "judgemental" or perhaps emotionally-charged manner. Some of the statements might not be 100% perfectly factually precise, but the jist of them is generally on-point. I have recently been a LOT more cognizant of the ways that corporations and software outfits exert control over the people who use their software. Now that I see it more, and look for it more, I am getting suuuper unhappy with the current state of computing. :( A lot of the complaints I've had about software and computers in the recent years are generally the direct result of the software motivations of for-profit/proprietary software vendors. I can still use all the OSS stuff just as I always have, and it's actually the most stable and reliable stuff I use.
