Heres a great one:
How Windows is so awful with its (anonymous) telemetry, its advertising (that can be turned off in two clicks). All the malware (that you only ever find in dodgy places, with UAC and updates turned off) and its terrible hardware support (as Linux users wait patiently for their WiFi drivers). But donāt worry, you can use a virtual machine⦠to pass through hardware to Windows.
My favorite part is:
(anonymous) telemetry
Sure buddyyyyyyy
Wrong link or smth? I didnt see them mention source code on there. But theres this repo with no source code but filled with executables and binaries: https://github.com/JordyK8/UnrealEngine-release
But completely disable bluetooth, i dont see a button for it at least
Ahh, okay then this is fine too
also sorry if it seemed like an ad, i just honestly wanted to share my experience with it :D
I didnt mean payed advertisement, i meant great exposure. Genuine experiences are worth a lot more than ads.
Stallman is seriously flawed as a leader and a spokesperson. In 2018, for example, he insisted on including a joke referring to the āglobal gag ruleā in the documentation for abort() in glibc
The joke despite not being technically essential it is what gives software the sign that its created with love and its cherished by its creators and users alike, leaving easter eggs is not a flaw of the software.
Iāve read reports that he has contributed to an unwelcoming environment particularly for women, both off and online, and I have no reason to doubt those reports
Most likely you read these reports during the āopen letterā targeting RMS. I believe these were being hyperbolic towards the actions of RMS since a lot of companies would benefit from RMS stepping down from his position and thus were creating (not necessarily) fake (anonymous) scenarios to devalue RMS and many (if not all) were debunked or proved fake.
More generally, a fundamental flaw of Stallmanās in my opinion is that he often seems to form opinions on matters that do not concern him
Theyāre opinions for a reason and have nothing to do with Open Source or the GNU and he states that in his website stallman.org
relevant communities, often running counter to the widely accepted opinion in those communities
Good point, theyāre still opinions and have no real value except as ideas
Most controversial is his article against singular they/them (which, to my knowledge, runs counter not only to consensus in the trans and non-binary communities but also to generally accepted linguistic practice overall)
I agree with Stallman on this one, but i dislike per/pers specifically, if a better alternative was decided upon on itd be great
he shows this tendency elsewhere for example when he argues that āpiracyā is a smear term (which was technically true at some point - but this term has long since been āreclaimedā (for lack of a better word) by the data sharing community, a fact he does not even seem to mention)
I strongly disagree with this point as, although it is used by a lot of people, it will always imply that youre doing something inheritely illegal and unethical when it should be a human right to share your possesions with your neighbor at will
His anti-glossary is full of more examples.
I agree with over 90% of those examples, thereās words that are pushed to fill in a narrative to create legal or political bias.
May i recommend Mull, its on main rep of f droid
