So, I think yours is a reasonable position. I hear it and integrate it into my thinking. I have two thoughts on what you bring up, the first is a story I remember about Stallman being really frustrated with firmware on a printer (not drivers on a “general computing” device). I think reading this story[0] should be reasonably self-explanatory and not require additional exposition or warrant in this HN thread. My other thought is that increasingly, our “general computing” applications are moving to web apps / cloud apps, and not stored on our devices. So while you may be correct about RMS, and maybe he wouldn’t have cared today about the concerns AGPL addresses, I personally wonder that he would, and think its at least reasonable for many people to generalize his FSF philosophy to cover general computing experiences that aren’t hosted locally but are still part of the primary computing interface that we use to interact with our current general computing devices. 0: https://www.fsf.org/blogs/community/201cthe-printer-story201d-redux-a-testimonial-about-the-injustice-of-proprietary-firmware https://www.fsf.org/blogs/community/201cthe-printer-story201...
