I was reading your long email, and this has been on my mind for a long
time, but in order to get the freedom respecting software technology
into the hands of everyone for everything instead of proprietary
software, what you have to solve is not a technology problem, but a
marketing
It is a shame you missed Sunday. They fixed the technical issues and
the video feed got much much better. It was great to see the
turnaround on the second day of the conference. Unfortunately my talk
was Saturday. Hopefully the replays from Saturday will not be bad like

I would not wish proprietary software on my worst enemy. The less
proprietary software used the better.

Congratulations to Zoë Kooyman. I look forward to a massive scaling of
the free software movement.

Don't get me wrong. I'm not in any way anti-RMS, but the free software
movement needs to be about freedom respecting software, and not hero
worship (whether that person is RMS or some other "hero") Long term,
what are we going to do, the whole trans-humanism thing where we

I want to clarify some things that make it hard for software users to
advocate for freedom respecting software.
If we do not know what all these programs are and why people use them,
it makes it much harder to do anything about them.

I think a lot of this discussion about RMS is because most people
forget about freedom respecting software activism most of the time.
They don't live eat sleep and breathe it 24/7. Every time a RMS news
article comes out, or he is embroiled in some controversy, then people
find the
ide of things, thus not using effective
methods to reach new customers. And, instead of saying "hey, I need
help with that." they label the marketing person as "evil" and push
them away.

I would like to share my experience as a user who reports bugs. I enjoy
bug reporting, but only if it is productive. I'm not very eager to go
out of my way to spend the time reporting bugs that will never be
fixed. There was a proprietary program I used on GNU/Linux for a
while,
I have been thinking about this myself a lot as well. Whatever is
made, it needs to be something developers would actually use. There
are lots of times where people make what seems to be great sites, but
no one ever uses them. Free Software project teams need three things.

I'm not really sure how Purism is any worse than companies like Think
Penguin, or than the machines are any less freedom respecting than
anything else that can run a FSF endorsed distro and coreboot. Even
some new system76 machines are running coreboot now from what I
understand.
Just for fun, I put the words freedom respecting software, and then
free software into duck duck go. Freedom respecting software actually
came up with more valid free software related results, whereas the term
"free software" also had a lot of things that were just free as in
cost,
I like the term freedom respecting software that someone mentioned. I
think, in some sense it makes more sense than free software, something
that someone could easily confused with software that has no upfront
cost (aka freeware), like for instance those "free to play games" with
I used to read digests cause I got too many emails and was on tons and
