#stallmanwasright — Public Fediverse posts

I've hated having to use Android for YEARS. I would never use iOS.
Now even android is finally bolting the remaining exits.

#StallmanWasRight
#Android

A friend just shared me their woes with finding a spouse-approved #selfhosted shared task-managed app after years of using a paid subscription to a #SaaS.

Service that I told them about when they were looking around for a solution.

I have spoken blasphemy. #StallmanWasRight, and I should never have even uttered anything resembling a non-free solution. For that I repent.

Friends don't let friends use proprietary software.

@[email protected] I’m sometimes kinda impressed how long it takes people to understand these things…

I’ve been a hard copyleft-proponent basically since I learned about it in my teenage years when I was editing Wikipedia (CC-BY-SA). The concept of not protecting derivative works always seemed rather stupid to me and the “companies can just take it and make it non-free” was always the obvious main issue and I always got flabbergasted how people were surprised when it happened: Allowing for that to happen is literally the only reason for why you would not use a copyleft-license! Everything else can just as well be done under strong copyleft like AGPL!

But yeah, instead of recognizing his outstanding track record of being right with almost everything, almost all of the time, everyone seems to prefer spewing ableist hatred or utterly out-of-context statements against an obviously severely autistic old man, because god forbid anyone admits that #StallmanWasRight. Again!

And I’m not saying you can’t put stuff under permissive licenses, but my recommendation would be to just be honest in those cases and used CC-0: I sometimes do this for stuff that I just want to put out there and be available for anyone to use for free, like short code-snippets that really fall more into the line of advise rather than directly useful code.

Emails with this kind of headline are guaranteed to be bad news. Next thing you know, most of the basic features are now enterprise-plan-only or something like that.
