I suppose many people will continue moving towards careless computing, because there's a sucker born every minute.

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

The Adobe flash plug-in is non-free software, and people should not install it, or suggest installing it, or even tell people it exists.

Laws that oppress people have no moral authority.

The most powerful programming language is Lisp. If you don't know Lisp (or its variant, Scheme), you don't appreciate what a powerful language is. Once you learn Lisp you will see what is missing in most other languages.

Proprietary software tends to have malicious features. The point is with a proprietary program, when the users dont have the source code, we can never tell. So you must consider every proprietary program as potential malware.

If in my lifetime the problem of non-free software is solved, I could perhaps relax and write software again. But I might instead try to help deal with the world's larger problems. Standing up to an evil system is exhilarating, and now I have a taste for it.
