I found out the older I get the more sense rms makes.



On the subject of software freedom, I hate how accurately prophetic he is.

RMS: Here’s how they'll get ya!

Me: Nice, but that'd never happen.

Vendor: Here’s how we got ya!

Me: Dammit.

Seriously, he must have a working crystal ball.

Now, my agreement with him starts and ends on that subject. He says plenty of other things I wholly disagree with. But his warnings about proprietary software lock-in? Every. Single. Time.


for the record, I meant software freedoms and sometimes technical stuff only!
