A commune is where people join together to share their lack of wealth.

I did write some code in Java once, but that was the island in Indonesia.

Facebook is not your friend, it is a surveillance engine.

EMACS could not have been reached by a process of careful design, because such processes arrive only at goals which are visible at the outset, and whose desirability is established on the bottom line at the outset. Neither I nor anyone else visualized an extensible editor until I had made one, nor appreciated its value until he had experienced it. EMACS exists because I felt free to make individually useful small improvements on a path whose end was not in sight.

One reason you should not use web applications to do your computing is that you lose control.

If the users don't control the program, the program controls the users. With proprietary software, there is always some entity, the "owner" of the program, that controls the program and through it, exercises power over its users. A nonfree program is a yoke, an instrument of unjust power.

Free software is software that respects your freedom and the social solidarity of your community. So it's free as in freedom.
