Hey Jow Forums. I recently started frequenting this board and i'm starting to be redpilled by stallman's speeches.
Before i had no idea about all the alternatives, linux distros and free software movement, but now i'm at the crossroads - do i just ignore it all and continue to enjoy windows, android and various proprietary programs and just live my life like the rest of us, or do i go down the harder, inconvenient path of using the alternative?

Go down the GNU/path, friend.

>redpilled by stallman's speeches.
you mean 'red' as in 'communism' right

>harder, inconvenient path
its only hard and inconvenient until you figure it out, then its way better and easier than your previous life. like being Jow Forums compared to being out of shape, it sucks getting there but once you're there you're way happier.
pretty spooky post there amigo

who cares. only real difference is if trannies get the rope or the bullet

richard stallman's philosophy is almost the opposite of the memelord you just posted

>inb4 everyone tells you to use what they use or install Gentoo.
Android:
App store alternative for open source apps not on play store, can add custom repositories (app databases): f-droid
Browsers: icecat, waterfox, Bromite (need custom repo, but best browser on android)
Desktop:
Linux - socialist "freedom", easier to get into
BSD - unrestricted anarcho freedom, not as supported, try linux first.
Browsers: waterfox, gnu icecat, pale moon, ungoogled-chromium.

You can start using open source software on linux by switching browser usage, and try Ubuntu in a VM or dual boot or on another hard drive or something.
It takes a bit of a dive but once you get used to using forums, and guides online to help you through using the terminal (dont be shy, bash loves you) then you will start to feel more natural and at ease, and above all, more in control.

The next step on the road to freedom is to spend 20 minutes every day chanting "I didn't need that software anyway. I didn't need that service anyway. I didn't need that feature anyway".
Then, after you've purged all proprietary elements in your cybervicinity, start making 20 forum posts per day saying "You don't need that software anyway. You don't need that service anyway. You don't need that feature anyway".

>start using open source on **windows
Ftfme

That's freetardism. Nobody needs to go full freetard, but there's no need to use proprietary niggerware when free software that meets all your needs is readily available.

>there's no need to use proprietary niggerware when free software that meets all your needs is readily available.
in most cases the proprietary one is significant better than the free one

Such as? Bromite and ungoogled chromium are pretty much vastly superior to Chrome and have no Google callbacks.
>but you cant sign into Google sync!
Oh fucking no.
Yeah, there are lots of shit that free software doesn't come close on, but for basic OS use and web browsing there really isnt.

>its only hard and inconvenient until you figure it out, then its way better and easier than your previous life

+1, not gonna lie the GNU/Linux road can lead very far, but we don't all need to go as far. Personally, it made my life easier, as I soon found out Linux systems to be easier to install, use, and maintain

any art tools

not him but i agree photoshop is better than any free alternative ive found, so i just pirate it. krita is unironically one of the best art tools available though and its free.

No registry to corrupt. No forced updates. No background updates. Fewer filesystem issues. No need to "prepare" to delete files. Repositories allow upgrading every software all at once.
>muh photoshop
If you're a professional in the industry or develop 3d or 2d models for work then yeah. If you're just drawing and photo editing occasionally for the lulz, then no, there really is nothing advantageous about proprietary software. It's only better because of how photoshop files are compatible with other industry standard software and etc.

>If you're a professional in the industry or develop 3d or 2d models for work then yeah
I am
Photoshop is better to use, it has nothing to do with file formats
Maya and Max are better too, although Blender isn't a joke like Gimp is
Using programs out of some political belief instead of just using the best thing is just fucking stupid

Why is Bromite the best when it doesn't have HTTPS by default, unlike Brave?

You develop a spine and don't listen to a pedophile backed by a cult of lgbt losers

>supported ads

But Linux is all of that now

I'm just kidding. Brave is good but it's a meme and I dont like the business model. It's a good browser and I should have had it on the list.

Just use whatever the fuck works for you.
You using free software does nothing to advance free software as long as you pirate anything proprietary. If you really want to help make free software better just pay developers to work on free software.
But limiting what you can do with your computer to what you can do using free software like Stallman wants you to doesn't help much. Put your wallet where your fucking mouth is.

Best advice

What did you mean by this
I'm insulting you nerd

I use OpenBSD though, and I'm not the one you were replying to at first either?
Why are you so retarded?

Hey my dood, I actually am going to install openBSD and have the Absolute openBSD book on the way. Anyways you don't make much sense.

Stop posting.

>stallman is freedom advocate
he certainly doesn't advocate for the freedom to make money off your work

samefags. it’s free as in freedom, not free as in free pizza. and if you are still a christcuck in the year of wotanaz you must go back.

people are not perfect

god is pro freedom, because without freedom, it will be harder to find god

you can sell your free software, no problem

you don't have the freedom to sell your work because everyone else has the freedom to get it without paying for it

No one said anything incorrect you dumb nigger. Do you literally just regurgitate shit you hear newfags on Jow Forums say and what this fat kike says?

>it’s free as in freedom, not free as in free pizza.
That is a meaningless statement that stallman has been trotting out for years

No seriously group of people take a word this man says seriously. There is open source, and there is non-open source. There is no "free" distinction.

sell it and put the soruce code on the cd, no problem

retard
>without freedom it would be harder to find God
It belongs to the imperfection of everything human that man can only attain his desire by passing through its opposite. Man is brought out of sin, which is error, which is submission by revelation by the redeemer which is Christ.

then someone takes that source code, recompiles it and uploads it to the internet for free, and in stallmans totally-not-communist-utopia, this is perfectly legal so it would be the first google search result for your product
good luck

wow, how can you be this wrong

its not meaningless, as people like yourself for example are still confused about it

you show that you didn't get it

christ was a kike you fucking sand dune worshipping mutt

Wrong about what asshat?

Wow I hate Christ now

ok here is an example, the bible is forbidden in north korea

imagine world communism where they inherit an ideology that is against god from it's root
This is the reason why god ends everything one day, because everyone and everything is beyond return, and everyone destroyed the last grain of what makes someone human

people need freedom, so they can make a decision between good and evil
taking away this decision is against god, because then god would have made us robots who automatically obey, or he would force us, but he doesn't, this shows how important the concept of freedom is to god

so what?
you can also copy non-free software if you want to

it's illegal
if getting software for free was morally acceptable and legal, nobody would fucking pay for it

Of course freewill exist, but as a Dostoevsky puts it in the mouth of one of his characters “I am perplexed by my own data and my conclusion is a direct contradiction of the original idea with which I start. Starting from unlimited freedom, I arrive at unlimited despotism. I will add, however, that there can be no solution of the social problem but mine.”

the color of his skin doesn't matter much i would think
important is that someone from god with a mission was born into a human body to bring humanity back on the right track

free as in freedom not as in free beer
there is no better word in the English language

other languages have words like 'libre'

You fucking retard this isnt about stuff being free monetarily this is about his ideology being opposed to freedom you illiterate nigger.

You're probably the guy who also called Jesus a kike but you're right

of course there are rules, but they are good and reasonable
you are free to do whatever as long as you don't do ugly and bad things

for a person who felt imprisoned all his life the words of god is freeing
for a person who felt free his entire life the words of god may feel imprisoning until he understand life and the benevolence of god better

>You fucking retard this isnt about stuff being free monetarily
you are right
> this is about his ideology being opposed to freedom you illiterate nigger.
it's not, you are so much a slave with handcuffs and foot cuffs that you have aggressions against the person who wants to free you

copyright sucks anyways
humanity was good without it for thousands of years
musicthinktank.com/blog/why-copyright-is-evil.html

>humanity was good without it for thousands of years
thats because it had no reason to exist before the introduction of copying you fucking moron

He is a kike but that wasn't me.

>free me
>by engorging the state further to give it even more power

Deluded reddit retard

the concept of copying existed long before the copyright

you know what I mean
the printing press
before that monks had to sit there copying them out by hand

where did stallman hurt you user?
did he ruin your life somehow?
those evil open source developers, lol

Jow Forums probably runs on a linux machine
like 99% of all websites

evil leaders are creating a world with maximum surveillance but you are angry at stallman
really shows your flag

The point is that freedom comes from within before eternal judgement. When policy, institutes, and hordes take up the banner of leveling the playing field of a world that is already perfectly JUST is when shit goes awry. This shit isn't new, and will continue, and is really kind of off topic on the topic of software if it wasn't for Stallman actually being a figure that is indeed dangerous for people to make into an idol because of the baggage of other evil shit he spouts

so because copying became easier, we absolutely have to regulate it?
why were monks copying books by hand was it evil too?
or is it suddenly a bad thing just because it became easier?

the truth will win if we allow humanity to copy the truth and the lie
but if we disallow it, then the status quo will not change
you corrupt leaders stay in power and don't want to loose it
this is the real reason of regulating copying this much in today's day and age

>so because copying became easier, we absolutely have to regulate it?
correct
when the cost of copying is negligable then intellectual property laws have to exist for people to be able to make any money from the things they create
it's got nothing to do with whatever ridiculous shit you're spouting

Idolization is always bad, but you also have this with Steve Jobs.
The path to god is through god.
People hurt themselves when idolizing and they hurt the person they idolize.
In general people should be more humble and less obsessed.

Maybe what Stallman says is not all right, but i think it's also not all wrong
Stallman is a little trump card in a world where people try to use technology to enslave humanity.
If it wouldn't be Stallman it would be someone else.
The world is always balancing it self out.
But the way to god is very personal and it always starts with oneself.

tldr; don't idolize Stallman, take what's good, leave what's bad, based on your own believes

well, i always felt more like an artist at heart, not a businessman
maybe copyright is not inherently bad, but it is used in a way nowadays that it hurts people more and enslaves people more
evil people will use everything in their own favor and to damage others, even the good things are being corrupted

>but it is used in a way nowadays that it hurts people more and enslaves people more
not really. the worst people did with it is send kids to jail for downloading movies and MP3s. You're talking about truth and lies, that's censorship, not copyright

The whole rub of this conversation though was that Stallman is actually a guy that wallows in the fallen blind state of man and will never grasp freedom outside of software that lets you view CP without the big scary evil boogeyman keeping consenting 9yo's rights restrained

Isn't europe starting to use copyright law for checking every upload?
This will probably end in censorship.


>The Bible tells us that we are to obey the laws of the government we live under (Romans 13:1–7). That is one of the key issues at stake here. God commands us to obey the governmental authorities. The only allowance we have for disobeying the authorities is if they demand that we disobey something God has commanded (Acts 5:29). Because of copyright laws, it is legally wrong to download, pirate, or share copyrighted material without the permission of the artist/author/publisher. Since God commands us to obey the law, the practice of digital internet piracy is a sin where it is illegal. Around the year 2000, Napster opened the door to this internet copyright issue and was subsequently faced with lawsuits that led to a site shutdown and bankruptcy. Even though the consequences of internet piracy are clear, there are still countless file-sharing sites that enable people to continue pirating copyrighted material. Due to lawsuits, many of these sites require a fee for music and movie downloads and restrict the ability to share these downloads with others.

in a world which becomes more and more technological isn't freedom in technology also important?

That sound abusive to me aswell, but that means copyright laws should be changed to fit the way we live and the way technology works, like they were when printing was introduced

You're sacrificing a very important 'freedom' for a much smaller 'freedom', except Richard Stallman only cares about hte small freedom and pretends the other one doesn't matter

As if the internet and linux are some major fucking new innovative sidesteps for the condition of mankind. It's the same old story, again, and again, and again

BSD is freedom, the only freedom. Freedom doesn't have a stupid ass fucking laundry list of conditions. ITS FUCKING FREEDOM YOU NIGGERJEW

No shit, but the EU is a festival of faggots, trannies, Jews, and niggers, and the Jews who run the mega corps tell their pet niggers and faggots that they can effectively filter copyright infringement with bots and scripts (they cant, see link and pic), and they're simply going to not respond to takedown complaints for as long as possible and abuse the fuck out of any European posting pics from sporting events, selfies included (content "rightfully" owned by the sporting industry) and whatever the fuck else they post online that isnt pics of their own fucking feet.

You know why Michael Jackson got smeared by the kikes who wanted everyone to believe he was a paedophile? Because he resisted. He resisted his ENTIRE life. He owned the rights to the Beatles records, and had Sony by the fucking balls because of it.

You'll never just "change the laws" retard. You need to burn the fucking whole system to the ground. Otherwise it will just repeat over and over.

Shut up faggot

False as BSD license literally has a laundry list of conditions. If you want no conditions whatsoever then public domain is closest to what you're looking for, but this won't really do anything to give your users more freedom.

Edgelords belong in your containment board

Stallman seemed like a crazy hobo at the time but in hindsight you have to admit he was right about most of what he said. It's worse now than anyone would have imagined back then.

I'm not very ideological about the whole thing but it is nice not to have to worry about your software being a botnet. But the biggest negative to proprietary is that you're stuck. Later update ruins your workflow? Changing business model and they don't want you anymore? Subscription only? Too bad lol. Switching software is tiring when you have to change your workflow, convert formats/lose data, etc. If you learn OSS software you're less likely to waste your time on that bullshit
