In a parallel universe where Ubuntu hadn't provided the "install alongside Windows" option (which it did about 10 years ago), I'd be writing enterprise Java on a Windows 10 machine, blissfully unaware of the existence of free software and believing that privacy is dead if Mark Zuckerberg says so.

Dear #purists and #absolutists,

It's great to be clean and pure yourself, but sometimes you have step into the mud to pull out others who are stuck in it.

The more user-freedom-violating open-source applications I see, the more convinced I am that #Stallman was right about freedom being the more important aspect, not just sharing the source code.

Open source was a big ideological mistake, but unfortunately turned out to be a convincing proposition for capitalists.

Bad examples I've personally seen in the last 2 months:
Docker CE, Microsoft VS Code and Wavebox
