Why should I care whether my software is 'free' or not?

>so you can modify it
I literally don't care.

>so it doesn't spy on you
I literally don't care.
>>
Then you're on the wrong board.
>>
I dream of a day when you would receive a one-day shitposting ban with the reason "I literally don't care."
>>
Go back to /v/
>>
>>55063028
Okay, bye
>>
sometimes I wish I'd been born a normie white girl with sub-150 IQ who wouldn't care about shit like FOSS
>>
>>55063061
So are you.

You cannot modify 4chan code. 4chan literally spies on you.
>>
>>55063028
You don't care about technology either do you?
You only care about running your games don't you?
>>
>>55063164
>You don't care about technology either do you?
No. Should I? I care about getting shit done.

>You only care about running your games don't you?
I don't play games.
>>
>>55063110

You can be one though. Just say that's your "identity".
>>
>>55063028
I don't care about freedumbs. All the weeboo virgins who do need to fuck off and stop bothering normal people on 4chan.
>>
>>55063246
Ehhh I didn't say that.

I see /g/ talking about software freedom all the time. I'm willing to be convinced that I should care about it but I fail to see why.
>>
>>55063203
If you care about getting shit done why don't get fuck right off to /gettingshitdone/?

This board is obviously not for your kind
>>
>>55063356
This isn't a freetard only board.

Why are you so mad?
>>
>>55063061
/thread
>>
>>55063422
I am mad because this is a technology board only in name, it's full of faggots discussing GPUs, CPUs, Chinese goods, earphones, desktops and god knows what
Where are my microcontroller threads? Where are my HAM radio threads? Where are my electronics thread?
>>
>>55063028
Obvious troll is obvious, film at 11
>>
>>55063459
that's because /g/ is normie-tier consumerism tech threads.

OP just proved that he 100% belongs here.

I'm with you on that though
>>
>>55063459
People stopped appreciating open software and hardware, so open hardware discussions stopped, while open software discussions linger through the GNU/Linux threads.
>>
>>55063459
>Where are my microcontroller threads? Where are my HAM radio threads? Where are my electronics thread?
Why not stop bitching like a whiny little faggot and just create one yourself? If it's interesting people will start discussing stuff in it

>>55063561
What do you think I've been doing all the time I have been here? 90% of the microcontroller threads are made by me

I am the guy who posts this image often, if it rings any bells
>>
>>55063621
Fair enough, you have to admit, in the vast majority of cases anons who post "Where are my X threads?" haven't ever considered just doing it themselves
>>
>>55063621
what are you doing in there? looks like a bomb, so I already tipped the FBI
>>
>>55063665
Dude, that's obviously a clock
>>
>>55063675
I don't think so; enjoy guantanamo, omar
>>
>>55063665
It's an image showing my successful experiment in which I managed to install a Debian chroot on my phone, and setup everything so that i can compile programs for my microcontroller on my phone and flash them using the USB burner
>>
>>55063203
Then why be at a TECHNOLOGY board if you do not care about it?
>>
>>55063708
I study computer science.
>>
>>55063459
If you knew anything about ham radio, you'd know it isn't an acronym. Post your call, faggot.

You're one of the good one's, anon.People like you are the only reason I visit this shit hole anymore.

>>55063028
>>so you can modify it
>I literally don't care.
With free software other people who do want to modify it will keep it around longer than a corporation will. With proprietary software companies are quick to drop support for anything that's not bringing money in the door. Free software stays supported as long as people want it to be.

>>so it doesn't spy on you
>I literally don't care.
you should.

>>55063133
3 sentences, 3 logical mistakes

>>55063028
You don't mind using malware? Why is that acceptable to you?
>>
>>55064541
>3 sentences, 3 logical mistakes
Plus "she" keeps using "literally" for no particular reason.

Quality thread, OP.
>>
>>55063028
I, also, literally don't care whether you can wrap your head around the benefits of FOSS or not.

This is why noone likes you. Fuck off back to /v/.
>>
>>55063028
>so it doesn't spy on you
Give me your email id and password, I will spy on you
