I don't want my computer to treat me like an idiot, it's my computer let me run whatever commands I want.
GNU/Linux
I use Trisquel GNU/Linux-libre, I'm just pointing how that it sucks that im seen as a boomer for wanting to actually use my computer rather then my computer using me.
Are you kidding me? I preach the matter every time I manage to get someone to listen to me.
Doesn't matter who you pay or how much. If you run closed source software, it isn't "your" computer because you don't know WTF it really does. You just take some guy's word for it and that's that. Free as in Freedom means that you may do as you will because FOSS does what you will it to do. Let's not even play with trust. I don't need to trust anyONE when I can trust the masses instead.
Absolutely agreed, I never ask "why should I have access to the source code" I ask why the source code should be hidden from me. That's why I use a Librebooted Thinkpad T440p and once RiscV laptops become powerful enough I'll use one that's open source.
I had a librem 13 for four years til it bit the dust...twice (3yr warranty the first at 2y in). I like X2** series. Kind of prefer the X230's
