Richard Stallman at The New School

without comments

Richard StallmanUnfortunately, I was not prepared to record Richard Stallman’s song about email that he sang before his lecture, but I did record the entire lecture which is smart and entertaining. Unfortunately, it feels like a battle cry for a long lost war. However, if you’ve been thinking about deleting your FB and Instagram accounts and dumping your proprietary operating systems for GNU/Linux and switching to free software, then listen to this lecture and allow Richard Stallman to convince you to make the leap into freedom.

Richard Stallman
People should have the right to copy and modify programs.

Richard Stallman
People should have the right to redistribute programs with changes.

Richard Stallman
People should not be used by their programs or it’s makers.

Richard Stallman
Amazon Swindle will track your reading, delete files, make changes to your device.

Richard Stallman
Companies abuse their users for profit, don’t allow yourself to be abused.

Richard Stallman
You are tethered to Apple to make the company immense amounts of money.

Richard Stallman
When teachers teach proprietary software, it’s just like selling cigarettes to kids.

Richard Stallman
Free software presents the freedom to knowledge, to learn what makes the software, it presents the possibility to modify the software and to freely share with others. The basis of free software is the free exchange of information and knowledge. So meet the free software gang and be liberated from the likes of Microsoft or Adobe.
