| schestowitz | > What do you say. I am disheartened and planning to quit Ubuntu or Linux. | Aug 02 15:13 |
| schestowitz | yeah | Aug 02 15:13 |
| schestowitz | That's what Ubuntu has done, eh? | Aug 02 15:13 |
| schestowitz | Herding Linux users is like herding cats. The same goes for atheists, free thinkers, humanists, intellectuals, etc. They are very bright people, but it also means that they are outspoken and living among them requires thick skin. But that's fine; what they don't do in terms of aggression and unethical or corrupt business practices they do with their mouths. | Aug 02 15:17 |
| schestowitz | The privilege of advocating freedom has a cost. Just look at the huge number of personal attacks RMS receives every day. He has his mailbox full of them. But he would just call it "bullshit" and "idiots", then move on. People like myself value the work (and words) or RMS and you; if someone calls you "troll", then clearly it was never your target audience. For sure, corporations are not our friends. But it doesn't mean we should | Aug 02 15:17 |
| schestowitz | stop pursuing freedom. Those two things are largely orthogonal. | Aug 02 15:18 |
| schestowitz | Speaking for myself, the posts most worthy of time are those that rebut lie, spin, etc. I don't spend much time reciting news or writing howtos for projects or companies that seek to make a buck. I just want to educate people and to quote or paraphrase Assange, I want to be a pain to real bastards. | Aug 02 15:18 |
| schestowitz | The investigative posts, the negative and at times critical ones, get you flames and also drive progress. Groklaw does that; we do them too. The rest can be expandable dross with a shelf life of 6 months (distro release). | Aug 02 15:19 |
