>free as in freedom
>20$ book

@Anonsfw thats why rms says "as in freedom"

@kirby @Anonsfw he's full of shit on that, freedom doesn't just cost 20 bucks

@lina @Anonsfw the point was to try and differentiate "as in cost" and "as in you can do whatever the FUCK you want"

the use of "free" in the first place wasn't the best idea, too ambiguous

@kirby @Anonsfw maybe he shouldn't have used english for that when english doesn't differentiate free as in free beer and free as in free to marry ryuko

@lina @kirby @Anonsfw
Acktually it's around 600000$ per month just for the OS (200 devs).
And then another 600000$ for hardware reverse engineering (would cost infinitely less if Hardware manufacturers wouldn't be cunts and fuck with standards)
And another 600000$ for the "modern" web browser (would cost infinitely less if Google wouldn't fuck with standards).
And another 600000$ for the MS office compatible desktop suite (would cost infinitely less if MS wouldn't fuck with standards).
And 600000$ for audio/video encoder/decoder/montage/3D-2D/CAD etc...
And then another 600000$ for all the smaller miscellaneous software.

Yet there's at minimum 3 billion people on this planet using computers and less than 0.000001% of them finances software freedom which kickstarted computing and the internet.

@sunbeam_rider I want the book for free

@mangeurdenuage @kirby @Anonsfw the fsf and the linux kernel shit requires a real good spring cleaning, kicking out all the useless overly political faggots, then financing them would be a good idea

>kicking out all the useless overly political faggots
Won't happen as it already happened when the said people just prioritized political brainrot and ousted themselves when RMS said "no I'll stay".

The FSF is the only entity that has NEVER bent over software freedom. Unlike all the projects out there.
OSI is dead AF, a skinwalker at this point.
Linux foundation ? Same issue. Literally controlled opposition with a quarter billion in fundings and spend it on DEI garbage instead of software.

Meanwhile the FSF just has 1M yearly while the linux foundation is dependent on GCC coreutils and more.

My suggestion is to put aside the political brainrot and just finance the FSF/FSFLA as they have never bent over freedom and never will.

@mangeurdenuage @lina @kirby I put my money where it should be

@mangeurdenuage @kirby @Anonsfw i'll give them my money when i decide that they deserve it

@Anonsfw

The PDF costs zero dollars.

@lina @kirby @Anonsfw
Can't agree more than you do.
Considering your standard that would be never tho
Do I need to remind people of how the double cross system or Operation fortitude works ?

@mangeurdenuage @kirby @Anonsfw i don't even know what either of those are and i don't really care

@lina @kirby @Anonsfw Important historical events and methods used in commercial practices and crowd control today.
