>Free software should be an integrated part of a wider movement for emancipation This is actually what FSF claims to do as far as I understand. GPL is a law hack.

>And how did his political rants help the FSF (and the Free Software movement as a whole) lately? It's ridiculous. His political statements at rms.org are clearly separated from the FSF stuff. The guy is free to think what he like,

Criticizing Stallman of the "GNU/"Linux precision is like criticizing a plumber of using pipes. The guy is just doing it's job and he is doing it quite well!

Why having Windows pre-installed when you are sure you won't use it? More, it is very rarely an option available to not get it: I would find interesting that it could be opted-out so people with low budget could skip it and pay less.

It looks a bit weird that there is not more Apple products. These devices seems to be very popular, why is there so few talks about them?

Also, sometimes, some activists can deliberately use a mailing list as a public expression channel because it is important that these things can be eared by everybody. I see it as sticking posters in the street. There is no reasons to use F

Firefox was supposed to be "slow" and they are trying to fix it radically with projects like e10s and Quantum. If the browser is able to eat my RAM a bit less, I would be quite happy to have my add-ons off for some time.

The way Google made us used to transform an email box as a storage and backup place is terrifying. Sending 2Mo attachments become a norm[1] and lots of people consider having their life stored there. It just seem not sustainable. If you w

Self storage is fine but does it guaranty long term documents safety? I am very sceptical about my ability of maintaining it on the long term.

Sure, but Emacs didn't became Emacs without it's specific freedom ideology. Sorry, but I find it weird to forget about it.

For a Facebook employee, there is many other ways to speak about Emacs than on a closed platform. In North Korea, I am not sure they have many alternative if they want to chat about freedom of speech. Though, I appreciate that you compare F

I am chocked that somebody that can be so involved in Emacs can share it's ideas on Facebook. It would be a big failure for Emacs.

Talking about Emacs on Facebook is awful. As if the thing was "only a text editor" and not a symbol of freedom...

You can spend 100℅ off you time to think critically at art school. So some people will really manage to become some good thinkers or critics. But it is not a scientific field. Even scientists (sociology for what I know) working on these f

In France, art school are free. Wait... The costs are paid by the state! The costs for education that you mention are sick. It would cost Americans less to relocate to Europe and they could eat good cheese.
