Please avoid using the term “photoshop” as a verb, meaning any kind of photo manipulation or image editing in general. Photoshop is just the name of one particular image editing program, which should be avoided since it is proprietary. There are plenty of free programs for editing images, such as the GIMP.

"Isn't it ironic that the proprietary software developers call us communists? We are the ones who have provided for a free market, where they allow only monopoly. … if the users chooses this proprietary software package, he then falls into this monopoly for support … the only way to escape from monopoly is to escape from proprietary software, and that is what the free software movement is all about. We want you to escape and our work is to help you escape. We hope you will escape to the free world. The free world is the new continent in cyberspace that we have built so we can live here in freedom. It's impossible to live in freedom in the old world of cyberspace, where every program has its feudal lord that bullies and mistreats the users. So, to live in freedom we have to build a new continent. Because this is a virtual continent, it has room for everyone, and there are no immigration restrictions. And because there were never indigenous peoples in cyberspace, there is also no issue of taking away their land. So everyone is welcome in the free world, come to the free world, live with us in freedom. The free software movement aims for the liberation of cyberspace and everyone in it. "

I'm not invested in any side of the proprietary vs free argument, but I find it silly that people compare free software to communism. It is actually free market capitalism, just most devs choose to give away their software free of charge and thus, don't make much money.

But at the end of the day, if you made a FOSS program and decided that you wanted to charge users money for the convenience of downloading compiled binaries, you could do that without going against Free Software principles.

The corporations are actually the communists since they wish to control everything and to exert a monopoly.

The "free software" movement is naive and counterproductive. In demanding that all software be free by limiting their code to use with other GPL compatible code, they jail valuable information and confine it to their ideology.

There is no human right to view source code. It is akin to demanding the blueprints to your car and a full auto shop free of charge. Convenient if you wish to modify your car or make a new car, but completely unnecessary and dangerous for those with trade secrets.

All demanding this does is stick users of proprietary software with awful in-house shit, and users of free software with awful GPL compatible shit (lol, gnutls!)

>but secrets are bad, all information should be free! then everyone will know everything and society will move forward!

That would happen in a a world populated by seven billion richard stallmans, but normal people like to have significant monetary incentive, so not the donations and support model that only works for some types of software.

A car could in fact start itself and drive right through your garage, constantly send your location to authorities for "anti theft" reasons, determine the address it is most parked at, learn your most traveled routes, and crash itself to kill or injure you.

Proprietary software could find your porn collection in a poorly designed OS, but with proper isolation (hey linuxfags, does xorg have GUI isolation yet?) it's not an issue. It can only know what you tell it. If you feel your info is too sensitive, than use free software, but free software is not a necessity for any more than just the OS, some networking shit, and possible your chat program.

Except for the first part, the point is that the car can't make changes to the outside system (because it doesn't require one to run), but proprietary software does.

I have the right by law to know what ingredients are in the food I eat, and so should it be with the software I "consume" as well.

Back in the days, there were no such thing as proprietary software. You licensed software, sure, but you always got the source code. In computing, the concept of closed-source is relatively new and it is cancerous and holding the market back. In my eyes, it is communism.

Proprietary software makes changes to the outside system when your system is insecure by design

A system that requires absolute trust and certainty in every piece of potentially buggy software, and therefore a tremendous amount of work auditing every piece of software, belongs in the trash. Or the 1970s when that was okay because all the software came from the same people that made the OS and was used by real sysadmins with production concerns instead of home users.

Your solution is not to demand free software for security, but to replace your shitty OS.

Yes, like academia and research is completely killed by everything being open, right?

It's capitalism, really. If you need a monopoly for your business model to be sustainable, it's highly anti-competitive and harms the consumer.

>>42850000

Pick FOUR!

Quads aside, if i understood >>42849481 it means that the GNU community (or "whateverthefuckstallmannandlinuswanttobecalled" for short) "forces" you to make things that are only compatible with other GNU stuff while making them non-compatible with propietary stuff?

Ohboy this thread is confusing the hell out of me.
>>
>>42849994
>the most secure

But you can't trust proprietary software because it could have undesired effects on your entire system? Sure is secure.

You could always run it in something like a jail, but hey, why not make that default to protect the retards? Inb4 classic /g/ says "if you don't want to read a book to use your OS, you deserve everything you get"

No, configuring selinux is not the solution to this. Selinux is in case someone finds a remote exploit in your patchy web server, not in case the program you're running has a "hidden scp everything [email protected]:/logs/you/"

/g/: Where a more secure operating system is a bad idea because you could just make everything GNU/Software and audit it instead

i think the issue is more that selinux is really fucking hard to properly configure

Funny how you have to put in a billion "inb4s" and arbitrary disclaimers in order to make that statement.

Why do you keep saying I'm supporting windows?

I never told you to install windows. Windows isn't any more secure than shitnix except that it actually allows for GUI isolation, but what does that matter when everything else is a fucking mess?

BSD is a waste of time. Linux has OS level virtualization and chroots too (albeit not in X, so using it for things that accept input like skype is pointless), but it actually has more software than that archaic piece of shit and the userland is actually featureful

The UNIX design in general needs to die and die soon

Except for FreeBSD servers, *BSD really hasn't a lot to offer. You might consider OS X a (Free)BSD, but that only expands it's use to include iDevices.

>hurr durr unwarranted self importance

Hey, that's an old encyclopedia dramatica meme, isn't it? Looks like someone did their reading before coming here

Nobody is out to get you guys, they'll just confiscate your laptop and image your hard drive whenever you cross the border. Then tell the RIAA about your suspiciously large collection of suspiciously obscure music that was never for sale via a service that didn't add DRM that isn't present in yours.

You deserve every lawsuit you get after that. Artists are very special people who deserve eternal compensation for their work. Carpenters aren't paid for every person that sits on their furniture, but musicians are super awesome and need to be paid for every person that wants a recording of a song they wrote. Deal with it.
