Annual reminder to educate your family members about free software on this upcoming holiday dinners.

>The four essential freedoms

>A program is free software if the program's users have the four essential freedoms:

>The freedom to run the program as you wish, for any purpose (freedom 0).
>The freedom to study how the program works, and change it so it does your computing as you wish (freedom 1). Access to the source code is a precondition for this.
>The freedom to redistribute copies so you can help your neighbor (freedom 2).
>The freedom to distribute copies of your modified versions to others (freedom 3). By doing this you can give the whole community a chance to benefit from your changes. Access to the source code is a precondition for this.

Is the beard a sign of a man who can no longer look at himself in the mirror?

LINUX SUCKS

IT HAS NO GUI FOR MOST SOFTWARE

AND YOU HAVE TO USE OPEN SOURCE SHIT

ITS COMMUNISM

I'm unironically going to talk to my family about free software this christmas.
Helps that I'm employed in information security though.

>user that linux you installed on my laptop last year doesn't work. the internet is broken

This post had better be ironic.

NOPE 100% TRUE

LIFETIME WIN USER

SAW LINUX (UBUNTU) AT UNCLES HOUSE AS KID LAUGHED AT HOW BAD IT WAS

THOUGHT IT IMPROVED
TOOK LINUX MANJARO BAD AS SHIT, CANT CLICK AND DRAG ICONS OVER DESKTOP SCREEN, TOO MANY DISTROS , NO MAINSTREAM SOFTWARE

SEE SOME CHINK STUFF DEPIN SOMETHING, LOOKS LIKE FUCKING FUCKIN ANDROID STUFF

MAYBE THEY WOULD MAKE A GOOD OS IF THEY ONLY MADE ONE !!!

AND YES IT IS COMMUNISM

alright then. I agree with you! FUCK LINIX

I FUCKING HATE COMMUNISM! FUCK!

YES ALL OF THEM

THE UBUNTU..XUBUNTU SHIT TOO CANONICAL MICROSOFT 2.0

COMMUNISM IS GOOD

FOUND ONE

Ugh. You guys are a bunch of bimbos, calling open source software "WAhH cOmMUnisM".

Explain to me, how is making the source available communist? Do you seriously think that if you have a large programming/service being open source is going to kill it from income? Do you realise how much money these open-source companies from just selling support?

>wahha muh program gonna git forked!!1!1

Don't use GitHub then, besides, if you're big enough - no little man is going to compete with you, even if they fork it. (Look at MacOS for example - the kernel is open-sourced under BSD license)

Heck, create your own license then.

CHRISTIANITY IS STUPID

CRY

You can't even give proper use-cases where Linux is a commie thing.

Let me tell you this, have you ever thought about the software backdoors? I'm not giving you shit for using Windows but have you ever considered why software source-code is proprietary? Its more about hiding stuff than making shekels. But remember this, I'm not saying there aren't backdoors in Linux system components (firmware, systemd etc)

But you know what? Good riddance that you are using Windows you delusional little man.

HERE

Open Source isn't communism, but it does turn programmers into wage slaves.

Think about the immense amount of value generated by Linux and GNU software. How much of that value has been captured by its contributors? Linus has done well for himself, but what about the countless other people who have quite literally slaved away?

"Free software" enslaves the people who create it. It funnels money upward.

We're barreling into a knowledge-based economy while devaluing the people who create the value.

goodbye forever!

I dont get people who work for free like you are making it harder for yourself and others by providing things people would pay for....

maybe it just shows how even those in that industry dont really think of it as true work.....

Nobody was talking about linux.

>“sharing information with your neighbor.”

omg everyone in the IT sector that support Linux should know if it was by them you would have no money or a job

>The freedom to run the program as you wish, for any purpose (freedom 0).

you are right OP might be a pedo

the BSD licenses adhere to these freedoms more than the GPL licenses

Voluntarily sharing your work with other people is hardly enslavement. You still the own the copyright of software you license under the GPL, you can still sell it and you can even change the license later if you want.

goodbye

I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you're referring to as Linux, is in fact, GNU/Linux, or as I've recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Linux. Linux is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning GNU system made useful by the GNU corelibs, shell utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX.

Many computer users run a modified version of the GNU system every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of GNU which is widely used today is often called "Linux", and many of its users are not aware that it is basically the GNU system, developed by the GNU Project.

There really is a Linux, and these people are using it, but it is just a part of the system they use. Linux is the kernel: the program in the system that allocates the machine's resources to the other programs that you run. The kernel is an essential part of an operating system, but useless by itself; it can only function in the context of a complete operating system. Linux is normally used in combination with the GNU operating system: the whole system is basically GNU with Linux added, or GNU/Linux. All the so-called "Linux" distributions are really distributions of GNU/Linux.

Cuck spotted.

linux is a kernel..yeah bla..bla..bla ...bla most refer to the whole OS like Linux

Non if these are operating systems.
Linux is a kernel
Mac is a device
Windows is malware

windows is what sane people use

not saying Linux is bad its is but still it may work for IT guys but the general public knows who the king is

But my games

Is ironic the new trolling?

He's just joking around, I'm sure of that, but the GUI part is right.

That's an error just like as referring to Android as Linux.

I am not 100%

I am not reading commie manifesto

That's why you dual boot an use windows exclusivity as faming console or if you're smart enough, you GPU passthrough and just use a VM fir gaming.

Stallkike has no right to tell me what to do with my family considering he has none of his own. Fat ugly kike.

Hey Shlomo, whatcha doing?

Join us now and share the software;
You'll be free, hackers, you'll be free.
Join us now and share the software;
You'll be free, hackers, you'll be free.

Hoarders can get piles of money,
That is true, hackers, that is true.
But they cannot help their neighbors;
That's not good, hackers, that's not good.

When we have enough free software
At our call, hackers, at our call,
We'll kick out those dirty licenses
Ever more, hackers, ever more.

Join us now and share the software;
You'll be free, hackers, you'll be free.
Join us now and share the software;
You'll be free, hackers, you'll be free.

I lost my rare stallmans folder, please help me to rebuild it.

who will you help without GUI support

Old man the future is now

Which GUI?

Reminder that notorious antisemantic troll weev supports richard stallman

...

>Recommends Gimp as an alternative to Photoshop and Libreoffices Impress as an alternative to Powerpoint
Yeah nah

wow linuxtard broke it...of course you did it on purpouse...

>The term “WC” has been suggested for a computer running Windows.

How come nobody never cries about proprietary hardware? You don't trust Microsoft but trust fucking Huawei?

> GNU is the name of the kernel that RMS developed starting in 1984. The operating system in which GNU is used is basically UNIX with GNU added. To call the system “GNU” is both unfair and confusing. Please call the complete system Unix/GNU, both to give Bell Labs credit and to clearly label the ultimate origin of GNU. Linux should in turn be called Unix/GNU/Linux. Following suit, familiar history should be reflected in all unix-based technology, thus 'parabola unix/gnu/linux-libre ' and so forth is to be expected. ................... fuck simplicity, right?

I won't tell my parents about free and open source software because they wouldn't really care or know the difference. Like, if i tell them Candy Crush isn't open source, so they shouldn't use it. Do you think they'd listen to me? Nah.
1. you don't have to use open source software. e.g. Skype and Steam are available on Linux.
2. software that needs a GUI has a GUI. not all software requires a GUI.
3. Do you also think that the free water you can order at a restaurant is communism? Do you think the free videos you can watch on Youtube are communism? Do you think using Sup Forums with an adblocker is communism? Is having sex with your consenting girlfriend, without paying her, communism?

Why is the communism buzzword always coming up? Brainlet burgers?

>Publishers often refer to copying they don't approve of as “piracy.” In this way, they imply that it is ethically equivalent to attacking ships on the high seas, kidnapping and murdering the people on them. Based on such propaganda, they have procured laws in most of the world to forbid copying in most (or sometimes all) circumstances.
Stallman and the FSF are always good for a laugh

Fihgining the gold fight.

You must have missed the /hrt/ - Hardware Removal of Botnet threads that we've been having for the past few months.

>>I won't tell my parents about free and open source software because they wouldn't really care or know the difference.
I just tried to bring up free software at a family dinner and it was just 2 minutes of me losing their interest. Made me feel like a fucking moron.

Would a cracked and reverse-engineered program fall under this definition, as long as nobody of consequence was looking?

Are you fucking dense?

You have to ease them into it.

Show them how fancy l33t your free system works and make them desire Stallman's cock like ever one of these faggots here.
