God, it pains me to click the "upvote" button on a comment that begins "Richard Stallman is absolutely correct", but the second sentence was so correct that I had to. ;-)
- meaty 14y agoHe is correct on a lot of things if you throw popular opinion out of the window and consider what is best for you* * human nature is inherently self-destructive. He seems to identify that it doesn't have to be.
- rickmb 14y agoRMS is usually correct. Annoying, offensive, unpragmatic, undiplomatic and confrontational, but in the end he's usually right in his basic analyses of the problem. Often well before anyone else even recognizes there is a problem.
- carlisle_ 14y agoThe ends don't justify the means.
- jeremyjh 14y agoNo. He's completely off his nut about blobs, cloud computing and a host of other topics. Very few people use a distribution that he doesn't have issues with.
- lhnn 14y agoYour third sentence doesn't support your second. I use closed source software, but that doesn't mean I think he's wrong on his overall analysis of its downsides.
