From gnu.org:
"“Free software” does not mean “noncommercial”. A free program must be available for commercial use, commercial development, and commercial distribution. Commercial development of free software is no longer unusual; such free commercial software is very important. You may have paid money to get copies of free software, or you may have obtained copies at no charge. But regardless of how you got your copies, you always have the freedom to copy and change the software, even to sell copies."

tl;dr you're an idiot who doesn't know anything; go back to /b/.

>Yeah and how are programmers supposed to make money then?
Programmers can still offer services, like support, modifying FOSS software for someone with requirements.
Its not your decision if some other programmer or group of programmer decided they want to release their software under a FOSS license, its their choice. Plain and simple, deal with it

You know, an important lesson I've learned from life is that trying to be a good person does not pay back. It just doesn't.

You'd think "Hey, maybe I will make the world a better place!", but fuck no, for every person who tries his best there are ten people that don't give a flying fuck about anyone but themselves.

You'd think "Hey, maybe there's Karma and I will eventually be compensated!", but believing in Karma is literally one of the stupidest things you can do in your life. It doesn't exist, the workings of the world don't care for ethics.

You'd think "Hey, maybe other people will look up to me!", but they actually hate you for trying your best. Most people shit on everyone else and want to do that in peace. You going around and making an effort reminds them of just what kind of disgusting shit stains they actually are.

In the end, the only reason is because the thought that you are not part of worse people on the planet just feels inexplicably good. No idea why, but that's how it is.

2)It doessn't work. None of the countries that have tried it achieved complete communism or outperformed capitalists on their way to it.

>regardless of how you got your copies

And therein lies the problem with the free software movement. Whether they say it is free in cost or not, it is. They assume a perfect world where human nature doesn't exist. Do you really think people are going to pay for commercial software if they can get it for free legally? Even if they didn't advocate piracy, it would still be much easier to pirate a piece of software with the source code available. Free software fails in the consumer market. This is why many companies now not only don't share their source, but also now require third party DRM. They are tired of putting thousands of manhours into development just to see that 80% of copies floating around are pirated and that the people who downloaded them have zero intent to ever purchase a copy.

>Your second point
Those were systems either founded by or corrupted by single people who gained a cult of personality, a proper socialist society would have to be developed over decades through democracy and reforms.
>Your third point
No some people were radicals, the Bolsheviks gave communism a bad name in the west by using and encouraging others to use violence to get their way.

"Socialism never took root in America because the poor see themselves not as an exploited proletariat but as temporarily embarrassed millionaires." -- John Steinbeck
>>
>>54310697
Well considering the American attitude towards "Obamacare" that's probably true. America seems to have an inhumanely strong adherence to capitalism and following the idea of it being "every man for himself!", but that was what humans were like before modern societies existed. Looking at how much theft, murder and the difference in wealth between the poorest and richest, it would seem that Americans (well the ones you get on 4chan anyway) never grew out of savagery.
>>
>>54310770

Ahh how times have changed since Steinbeck. Now the poor see themselves as entitled and not needing to work because the government will take care of them. I wish didn't see so much of it. I even knew someone who faked an injury to get disability pay so that they could buy more illegal drugs.

I couldn't agree more. While I believe there should be a wealth gap based objectively on how much one contributes to society (IE surgeons making more than gas station attendants), that isn't remotely how it works. If someone wants to go make a fortune investing, sure. Unfortunately worth for the top percent seems to be a matter of media likability or the ability to essentially embezzle money (CEOs making millions when their 250k VPs do most of their work).
>>
>>54310919
I agree with you also, I don't think people should just earn the same no matter what they do. There should at least be a strong enough economic base that everyone has true opportunities in life without being a slave to debt (if you can even get a loan).

Attitudes like this >>54310847 who cherrypick dishonest individuals to call the sick, geographically disadvantaged and people who made the wrong choices early in life "self-entitled" because they get money not even enough to live on let alone help improve their situation with.

Me. I can't stand freetards. It would be one thing if these people made it their business to use "free as in freedom" software/hardware whenever feasible without sacrificing productivity or usability, but they don't. The software could be broken 6 ways to Sunday and they'd still find a way to justify using it because it's "free" rather than use a tool that actually works because it's "closed source aka the devil".

There are free programs that probably work great and I hope to see more, but the freetards are a cancerous community.

After that happened everyone needed to get them which then bankrupted the entire planet, so great going.

How can you be this ignorant? Obamacare has utterly failed. Insurance rates are skyrocketing. As many people lost insurance as got it. Major insurers are pulling out of Obamacare markets. States are shutting down their Obamacare sites (directing people to the Feds).

Even Democrats have accepted that the next president, R or D, will have to scrap Obamacare and start over.

BTW, American health care isn't fucked up because of capitalism. It's fucked up because patches of it are socialist and most of the rest is exempted from laws against anti competitive behavior. Medical costs would drop like a rock, overnight, if state DAs would simply prosecute health care providers under the same laws they would use against car mechanics are grocery stores who engaged in their practices.

If you are looking for an apt comparison of capitalism and socialism, you should compare Norway and the US.

Your knowledge of communism and socialism is very elementary. Marx was the first to admit that socialism, and then communism, should only be implemented in industrialized countries because it is less efficient. The argument for communism and socialism is philosophic, not economic. Marx assumed that at some point humans would reach a point where their physical needs would be met. At that point the markets should be switched. He never envisioned conspicuous consumption or the disposable modern society.

That was a fairly recent adoption and it still complies with his philosophy.

Why wouldn't developers deserve credit for work they're giving away? What is the point of a license if anyone is allowed to copy it without giving credit to the creators?

rms is frequently without connectivity. When someone emails a URL, he outboxes a download request to his server, and the web page appears in the next batch as a reply to the relevant email. It's a good way to do it.

yeah and because you must also provide source, one faggot can buy it, publish source and everyone else gets it for free, you can't sell shit and still be open source and be profitable, and before you point out redhat or whatever you're gonna pull out of your ass, they sell support not software

The only philosophy I'm aware of in regards to stallman and is usage of the internet is that he is bery particular and careful about how he uses it. That's something I can respect. I've actually been using Tor on my Trisquel more nowadays. I like it.

We don't hate free software. It's simply less secure and supported compared to Windows 10.

Were there any non x86 PCs ever available for purchase?
We can exclude macs because everyone knows about those.
Silicon graphics workstations also existed but were pretty rare.

So. This doesn't stop me from including copies of the source in the media when I sell it. It's the nice thing to do, and when I sell a copy of an OS it saves normies the time of downloading and figuring out how it works. Just buy the CD, put in computer and go.

>>54312951
yeah because asking people to pay for something they can get for free is a viable business model

Yes, many. Amiga, Acorn, Sun, PPC ThinkPad, Raspberry Pi

No. Only IBM clones were PCs. Other computers were not called PCs.

>Highest living standards
Buddy, let a spic like myself tell you, Cuba's living standards are a fucking JOKE
There is NO safe drinking water.
there is NO air conditioning
Power outages EVERY OTHER DAY
running water maybe 3 days a week at best.
Do not even TRY to compare Cuba's living standards to the rest of the world without visiting there once, and not the Havana or any fancy ass hotels, I'm talking las tunas, La guinera in LA Havana, do not even TRY comparing Cuba to the rest of the world, period. The roads are BURIED ROCKS FOR FUCKS SAKE. all these dumb retards saying "hurr Cuba is better hurr," I got pictures if anyone would like to see

Some people, myself included sometimes, just want to buy free software/hardware for cheap and not fuss around with the source code sometimes. I bought a pre-loaded libre Thinkpad because I didn't want to try flashing Libreboot myself because I was sure I would fuck it up.

>>54311806
It's free as in freedom. It doesn't have to be free of charge to be free software; the developers can charge money for it as long as it respects the 4 freedoms. Plenty of people make a living developing free software.
>>

>she
>>
>>54313078
Look at it this way.

Most people want to have their shit work and not fuss about with the internals. For many, proprietary software does that already and that's fine for them.

What they don't understand is that if you DO want to change how it works to do your computing how you want you'll be hard-pressed to figure it out.

Also, proprietary software to anyone who deals with security knows that you can't trust a program that you can't read and study on for bugs or backdoors.
>>
>>54313119

That anon said Cuba had the best living standard in Latin America. Your videos and pictures do nothing to refute that.

Free software gives you the freedom to change it back.

Windows 10 is inherently more secure because it's more developed and matured compared to free software. Except the truth and you'll be set free.

muh anecdotal evidence

You said it was the worst in Latin America. Its not.

Thanks to the American policy of destabilizing and subjegating South America for the last 60 years, the whole region is a shithole.

More people live in favelas in Brazil than the whole of Cuba.

I honestly doubt that the entire country is a giant slum. Seems like more "communism bad" propaganda from USians.

Ya cause capatilisms not a total fucking disaster. And your your basically only describing the soviet union and the cold war era as an example of why communism is bad. Capitalism was suppose to increase economic growth, and create a free market. From what i see its just putting a ton of power and control into the hands of massive corporations whose only motive is making more money. Oh and Software was never suppose to be a Commodity. Just more money feinds fucking up the world as always.
>>
>>54313996
Nice little infograph there mate
Let's just ignore that in every attempt at communism the poverty rates were much higher.

Also, how fucking retarded is that pic anyway?
Yeah, workers produce more, thanks to machinery and techology they did not provide.
What do prisoners have to do with capitalism? Especially the bit about race? It's not like it's very great for those ebil wallstreeters if such a massive potential wageslave force is behind bars.

Sure, capitalism sucks, but it still sucks miles less

America is a mix of capitalism and socialism (as is every modern country), industrialized countries that skew socialistic have better standards of living, less inequality of income and wealth, as well as more social mobility.
