“Single payer economies leads to bad things like Bolshevism and Stalin”

          I feel so conflicted about Stallman. he’s ideologically correct that free software must be protected from encroachment by capital – but such a fucking creep/asshole on literally everything else.

            Probably my most problematic fave of all time. He’s such a lovable dork and right about everything a good 95% of the time, but then when he’s wrong he’s very very wrong cringe

            I still think I could fix him though.

              Being open source is a necessary but not sufficient condition of software being Free, so Free Software already means that. FOSS is a corporate plot to conflate software that is merely open source with software that is fully Free.

                  Free means Free is an empty tautology that means nothing.

                  Free means software which preserves your four fundamental software freedoms: the freedom to run the program as you wish, the freedom to study and modify the program, the freedom to redistribute the program, and the freedom to distribute your modifications to the program.

                  Open source only protects part of the second freedom.
