Ok, I've decided to answer once. Either you understand what I'm saying, or you don't, there's no point in repeating myself.
Lyberta {l Wrote}:Then how do you deal with services that require a phone number?
I don't use such services. I can always find a free replacement service.
Lyberta {l Wrote}:What if you are on the street and need to contact someone?
I make arrangements apriori, just like how all the people did before this keep-a-spyware-on-you-at-all-cost-on-your-own-cost madness started. It works remarkably well.
Oh, and ever since I've thrown out my smartphone, my memory and perception got sharper, and recovered my sensing of direction and distance (which I haven't realized that I've lost at the time, because GPS was always there).
Lyberta {l Wrote}:Again, a minority compared to phones and tablets.
I don't want to be rude, but by your argument gay people are minority so we should not care about them, right?
Lyberta {l Wrote}:Most of the free software is terminal only.
WRONG. Have you seen Gimp, OneShoot, Audacity, Audacious, VLC, MPlayer, Firefox, Netsurf, FlareRPG, 0AD, Battle for Wesnoth, Pingus, KoboDeluxe, Extreme Tux Racer, or - god forbid mentioning that here - SuperTuxKart? Just a few that popped into my mind...
Lyberta {l Wrote}:And almost nobody uses terminal.
WRONG. I use terminals all the time because they are MUCH more productive than any GUI. Same with all my friends and collegues, they all use terminals every day.
Lyberta {l Wrote}:It will definitely make 30+ years of free software even more useless. I own a PinePhone which runs GNU/Linux and I can tell that it has less features than a dumbphone from 2003.
Yeah, just admit, you have absolutely no clue what BCI stands for. Hint: Brain-Computer-Interface.
Lyberta {l Wrote}:The word "deserve" doesn't mean that people have it already. It means that if people don't have it, it is an injustice.
About this, we agree.
Lyberta {l Wrote}:And this is much better than Richard Stallman's "freedom is not about the price" position where he prefers free software developers to starve to death.
WHAT? Where did you get that from? You are criticizing free software without knowing what that is. Have you ever heard Stallman's phrase "
Free as in freedom, not as in free beer"? Stallman never wanted developers starve to death.
Lyberta {l Wrote}:I had to make a new PGP key because my deadname was an integral part of the key for some (transphobic) reason.
Dear Lord, did it ever occured to you that names are integral part of the key not because of some shady transphobic reason, but because of security so that bad people can't just replace the names on keys?
Lyberta {l Wrote}:Oh look, PGP was created by a white man Phil Zimmermann. I guess that explains that.
It only explains that
you're racist. Please stop doing that. The nationality and skincolour of Phil has nothing to do with the security features of PGP.
Lyberta {l Wrote}:Copyright is a system of oppression created by evil capitalists for the sake of evil. Bypassing copyright is an ethical and a moral thing to do. If content is covered by DRM, DRM should be removed.
Look, it is you who want developers starve to death, not Stallman. If copyright is bypassed, how would the people get paid for the product they worked for?
Lyberta {l Wrote}:C has almost zero ways to help the programmer.
Yeah, because C is only used by programmers who know what they are doing. I love that it's not getting in my way, nothing like the other high level languages. With C++ for example, you'll spend most of your time with figuring out how to solve memory ownership issues, unearth unintented, and completely hidden in source polymorphisms causing bugs in runtime and waiting, always waiting for the compiler to finish compilation.
Lyberta {l Wrote}:As a result, C is the source of the most bugs and security vulnerabilities in the world. C is like an abusive husband that constantly tells you to "git gud" or go back in the kitchen. Clearly, the world would be better without C (and abusive husbands).
WRONG. Take a look at the CVE tickets. There are lot more Java, C# and Rust bugs than C. Mostly because C is used by experts, while other so-called-developer-friendly languages are used by people who don't know what they're doing. It is a common misconception that a language can replace the developer's experience. No, it cannot, nothing can replace the hard-earned experience.
Lyberta {l Wrote}:Uuu, such pure ableism and sanism. By looking at your avatar I conclude that you are a white male, most likely abled, cisgender and heterosexual. You may be delighted to hear
the opinion I have on people like you. You know, some people say that #NotAllMen but you're a great counterexample.
Yes I am, and what has this to do with anything I've said? You do realize, how racist and heterophobic you are right? When you can't answer to a question and then you hopelessly try to attack with something that you think will personally insult me, do you know what people will call you?
Ok, this was my last response to you. Hope you understood at least part of what I've said, and for your own sake you start working on your racist and heterophobic attitude, because that won't do any good for you on the long run. Bests!
Cheers,
