Well, you wouldn't have freedom if you couldn't run youtube
5 років тому+5
so, if you write something like you have wrote, you don't understand what means all Free Software philosophy. Other people says "if I can't run Windows, I'm not free then" Come on!
Speaking of Kindle, after I realized they put DRM on the ebooks that I BOUGHT with my hard earned money, I downloaded a DRM removal software, successfully removed the DRM from my ebooks, put them on a thumb drive, and vowed to never buy a digital product from amazon again. DRM is an evil practice and I was infuriated when I first realized that I didn't actually own those ebooks. It's comparable to buying a physical book from a brick and mortar bookstore and the owner of that bookstore coming to your house to take the books back whenever they feel like it. But now, thanks to the free DRM removal software I downloaded, I do own those ebooks. Fuck you amazon!
This man is the most sane person I've heard in the tech sphere. The fact that his ideas are considered 'radical' by most, tells a lot about the state of the world we live in.
Next time, make the speech at least 2.5 hours, and don't interrupt Stallman, just let him speak as long as he need, then give another 30 minutes for the Q & A session.
Imagine being so delusional this twat waffle is anything but just a fucking mere mortal, and his bigotry a part of the whole problem, not the solution, of digital freedom and ownership of your data personal data.
Oh, I so wish that I could somehow transform the whole humanity into the kind of thinking this man promote. Really a life changer, a mind opener, we've all been brainwashed into thinking convenience rather than the real freedom.

Richard Stallman is a great Human , I think a lot like Him , and I do as He Says My life is lost in Free Software and Hardware Sales and Curation :) QC
Thank you for sharing. Clearly, every time Stallman and like-minded people publicize anything, eg this video, the text FREE SOFTWARE MOVEMENT should be prominently blazoned and emphasised?
Thanks for fighting for a batter society Mr. Stallman, what would have happened if you didn't started the (Libre) Free Software Movement??? it scares me !!
This is my we make our own decentralized irrevocable DNS and run our own servers. That leaves only the ISP or the network access itself. Doubtful they want to shut the raw internet down completely. Mesh networks for the win in dense enough populated areas could still work even then.
i think stallman became one of the first things he was stooding against for: a corporate. See how he coins freedom for corporations, but also excludes himself from open source ideology. He wants people to be free, yet the gnu GPLv3 still enforces corporates to nullify equal agreement of licenses between gpl v3, if you void a clause from an external propietary license (already gpl viral ), in which case you must inmediately conform an agreement from the IP/license holder, or cease to use gpl v3. And here he talks about reverse engineering as a learning tool. If you were to agree to use a gpl v3 and through the same license you are allowed to reverse engineer code that covers the gpl v3 (only source code that covers the binary, and not more.), because if otherwise the IP holder has a double license (ie, a gpl v3 + other license) he can re-enforce his rights as an IP/license holder through the gpl v3 if he feels like it. gpl v2 actually forced code to be fully compliant to viral including to external licenses.
This man is a global treasure! A flawed hero. I, in principle disagree with him that cost isn't just as powerful a control as the others he concerned with. A person earning 2 dollars a day is prohibited from inclusion in the use of anything other than gratis distribution. Money can be made in other ways.
@@Mr371312 What has that to do with the discussion at hand? I'm talking about the same levels of control he is, except pointing out a flaw in his argument.
i love how he obsesses over the window and the door that must be open for air circulation lol, jokes aside i have massive respect for this man i first heard of GNU in 1996 when i was a kid, we could of had GNU at home but my mother is a big brand person and chose windows.
The GNU is the collection of tools required to build the kernel itself is made. The compiler and other stuff. Without GNU, all you can do is stare at the kernel which does nothing but manage the hardware. But first you need GCC to compile the kernel and other make utilities.
You can actually also use the LLVM based tool chain with Clang (e.g. chromeOS relies on it for it's kernel). So there is an option for a kernel built without GNU tools. But the kernel would be under GPL anyways See: www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/kbuild/llvm.html
"Either the user controls the program or the program controls the user". This is simply wrong. Not being able to modify the source code of a program does not imply that the program "controls" the user.
I cannot live how Stallman wants me to but I try. I will use free and open source software wherever possible but there is an extreme length people go to which causes a detriment to themselves. For example - I can not complete my University diploma without using Microsoft Windows. I use Gnu/Linux for everything except that and even in Windows I use Libre Office over Word.
I definitely get his point about giving GNU proper credit instead of just saying "Linux", but honestly, I think most people will not be willing to adopt "GNU slash Linux". It's too many syllables and does not roll of the tongue. What about GNUL ("ga-nool")? Could be an abbreviation for "GNU slash Linux". "I'm running GNUL Mint" or "I'm running GNUL Manjaro".
30:45 he misses the fact that his narrative was primarily seen as socialism and maligned. Linux and Linus just wanted a free kernel and wasn't as much a hardliner to making money. I've watched this stuff mostly from the outside for years he's softened with age much more hardline when I watched his stuff five years ago.
Good points: Universities should teach reverse engineering. Schools should only teach free software. 53:45 "Giving children proprietary software is like giving them tobacco. They are both wrong."
David Hamilton Smith No one is about to forget Linus Torvalds. It is impossible to credit everyone involved in the name of the OS. I toyed with the name Lignux (sounding the g), but I don't think that would catch on as it's probably too silly for most people. Any other name that's been put forward feels clunky, no one wants to say, "ganoo slash linux", it's a slog that is only said to make a point. GNUL could potentially be adopted as short-hand.
I always use the name "GNU", saying it's "the operating system that's usually called Linux", since even techies would be puzzled if I said just GNU. However I do only say GNU when I'm talking to friends, or if I've just explained that GNU "is the operating system that's usually called Linux". I don't think it will ever catch up, but I don't really care. Linux and "open source" have gotten too much spotlight already, and have done some real damage to the free software movement, even if, at the same time, they have also helped in some ways.
Guilherme Vieira I agree. I would have little issue with the nonfree aspects of some Linux™ distros if only their place on the spectrum of user rights was made clear, instead of the whole subject of user rights (Free software) being swept under the rug. I used Linux™ for about two years before I even found out about RMS. Damage has only been done due to a lack of communiction. Half-way houses like Ubuntu are very useful by allowing people to gradually escape the grip of proprietary software, without having to dive head first into alien territory and abandon all their current tools. I am still not using 100% Free software, but I have been steadily improving as I learn more and find better alternatives. Some kind of app to analyse your system and give you an FSF grade based on your ratio of Free:non-free software, and recommend Free alternatives, would be sweet.
I know many software developers who really have no idea what free software is. They tend to think it's an uncool, old term for "open source". It's a real shame. Closest thing I know to what you're looking for is the vrms (virtual rms) package available in Debian systems, but it only tells you which other packages are nonlibre. It does not suggest replacements. Also, afaik, it does not attempt to detect applications that were installed without using the system package manager (e.g. via custom install scripts). I'm also half-way libre. I use Debian strictly without the nonlibre APT sources on my home computers, so I know for sure nothing I install through apt-get is proprietary. However I still do use an Android phone that has lots of proprietary software in it, I still use UA-cam, GMail, and proprietary JavaScript on the web. That's a lot of crap, but otherwise, I'm good. I've made a vow to myself not to get into any *new* nasty software or service (e.g. never got into the WhatsApp fever and similar foolishness), and remove myself from the nasty things I'm already into, little by little. I hope we'll both get there soon enough :))
Plasma mobile is (today) the only one that is useful and reliable enough. it isn't perfect, but is a lot more ethical than android, IOS or windows phone
Nicknames very rarely change once they take off. Unfortunetly for gnu, linux took off. at least for me linux sounds better. Stallman does my headin when im whatchin some of his interviews. And i do agree with nearly all his idiologies.
Languages change all the time, including titles. And the name "GNU/Linux" is well-known and still decently commonly used. Every time you use it in public you make it more normalised than it already is. It is not all or nothing, if the best we can do is make it a better known second-most used title, then that is better than nothing too. And you can easily use "GNU/Linux" in practice because most who would understand "Linux" will also understand "GNU/Linux", and those few who do not are exactly why we should say "GNU/Linux". Besides, "GNU/Linux" helps with clear communication because it distinguishes GNU/Linux from other Linux-based systems such as Android and Alpine.
You could maybe get a complete opensource openhardware cpu for mobile platforms. the problem is that the cellular module contains propetary software and cannot be examined. unless your truly sure you can run software that you can compile your self with the correct RMS aproved licenses, you probably dont have 3G or even GPRS. because these protocols implement methods that are not legal to be included in amateur radios. You cannot create a total free software phone with a freeware OS. GNU. I might have given wrong labels, and Im sorry for that, also forgive my english. Please look at the Risc-V and/or OpenRISC ... not availeble and your phone probably wont in the next 5 years. x86/x64 is NOT free of danger. (AMD or Intel) try linuxfromscratch.org/ on your phone as the first human? or BSD... start with Gentoo? I use Linux, GNU/Linux as our Lord and saviour calls it.
We do not have to accept this video. I saw him live. He supports only free players. All his videos which are not in free format should be removed. We are saved. ❤🎉He is a smart person.
fyi, the poster's choice of CC license is in conflict with rms' wishes expressed in the first 3 minutes of the video. That's not to say that I particularly agree with these wishes; just pointing out a possible "bug"
Is what is happening in Ukraine right ? Is freedom a cause that is really worth truly believing in, fighting and contending for, or is it a truly hopeless and a lost cause ? It is always easy to put a price on another's freedom than on ones own, easy and certainly cheap to denigrade, debase, devalue and disrespect another's life and care even much less for their feelings and thoughts, even the worthy ones than one's own, even if they be unworthy. It's always easy to promote and to advance ones own goals and ones own objectives, and ideals even if they be fairly false, lowly and deplorable than to promote and to advance another's goals and objectives even if they be fairly true, laudable and commendable. Without freedom there can be no creativity, no room for growth and betterment, and stagnation only leads to moral, which is the same as spritual, mental which is the same as psychological, and material which is the same as physical decay and eventually death of all of the three.
17:45 Is that actually true, how is it the case that a DRM scheme couldn't be implemented with Free Software? Is music and video really the same as software with respect to DRM?
It's like owning a Blu-ray drive on your computer and a Blu-ray movie and not being able to play that movie on your computer without buying extra software that bought the right to be able to decode the disc. It's silly because none of it is necessary. It's restriction for the sake of restriction, and people pay for it. It's ridiculous.
@@WR3ND Well it's restriction to protect the income of the people making the material. There is an unfortunate attitude amongst users of GPL software. That the GPL means other people should work for nothing, just to give them free shit. That is not what the GPL is for!
Maybe people should get real jobs making things that work. Likewise, maybe people shouldn't buy things that don't work. Yet, here we are. Stupid is as stupid does.
why does he focus only on software and not hardware? nothing lies in silicon right? no backdoors or other mechanisms invisible to the software running on those chips.
He does focus on those things. Maybe not in this speech, but look at libreboot and the Thinkpad X60 for example. The list of hardware that is free in that sense is limited, but it does exist.
I'm actually extremely hyped about "Open Hardware" Prusa has proudly stood as the flagship of open hardware for 4 years now and they ABSOLUTELY set the standard of how open hardware is being done. Can't wait until the day I could get an open hardware laptop
You mean you use proprietary software when there is no Free Software version. There is nothing wrong with buying Free Software, its just most of it happens to be available at zero cost. Keep in mind the word free has several meanings and the one you were thinking of is not the one being used in his speech. Its a nasty bug with the english language.
Gentoo is a proprietary software, no sir gentoo is choices. To be truly free, you must let people use things you don't like. Just because there us non free things you can emerge should not disqualify it.
Anything that is going to server you better over time needs to track what you do and spend time on over time. Think personal assistant. Now ideally that functionality needs to be on computers we control and not part of what some business sells to make money. The same is true with speech to text. It should not sent my audio to some business to do what could be done on my own machine.
This is kinda funny he asks for all these things at the start only for it to end up on UA-cam, which is a none free website. That said this does help promote the material so maybe he'd be fine with that 🤕
I don't ever want another cloud. Never did. Thanks Richard for spelling out my fears. Why can't I get software (outside of linux) that lets me do what I want to do without fucking password entries everyday. How the fuck did we get here? How did the rest of you fall asleep at the wheel?
As much as I respect this man and agree with him ( partially, on some points he's too extreme ) I believe that the more I listen to him the more I see alot of inconsistence in some points. Some are even pro Central Redistribution and control ( ie in part of "how much artists should make" ) which is against freedom in it's root. Of cource not in ideal Stallman's way but would lead to it.
Yeah, plus gentoo (the distro for choice) is "proprietary" because it *doesn't* limit people. It's a dillusion, but he isn't a legend fir his speaking skills.
I am watching this on UA-cam. I feel bad now.
Well, you wouldn't have freedom if you couldn't run youtube

You cannot create a total free software phone with a freeware OS. GNU.
I might have given wrong labels, and Im sorry for that, also forgive my english.
Please look at the Risc-V and/or OpenRISC ... not availeble and your phone probably wont in the next 5 years.
x86/x64 is NOT free of danger. (AMD or Intel)
try linuxfromscratch.org/ on your phone as the first human? or BSD... start with Gentoo?
I use Linux, GNU/Linux as our Lord and saviour calls it.
Check Tizen out. Also, even though Apple is not Free software, it's (within the private world) the most user privacy respecting company.
Replicant
So big tech companies, like other big companies mistreat their users? What a shocker...
I thought you could decode Blu-rays with Videolan’s libbluray and libaccs.
only if the keys for the discs are available in the public key database keydb.cfg. Luckily, the database is growing, research AACS Updater & FindVUK
holy fuck good content at last
We do not have to accept this video. I saw him live. He supports only free players. All his videos which are not in free format should be removed. We are saved. ❤🎉He is a smart person.
fyi, the poster's choice of CC license is in conflict with rms' wishes expressed in the first 3 minutes of the video. That's not to say that I particularly agree with these wishes; just pointing out a possible "bug"
Lol how could you upload this to UA-cam after that intro
Dylan Stone where else are the masses supposed to see it
Since users can use mpv+youtube-dl (and UA-cam supports webm AFAIK)
The Truth
Why he does not clean teath ? ?
QtDesign?
Toothpaste isn't open sourced.
I love using Linux with only open source software. (I say what I want, and energe what I want)
btw guys and gals (and Apache Helicopters), dont you think RMS would disprove a upload to youtube? or did he allowed this off camera?
RMS isna richard stallman?..
I agree he's probably mad at them
Bitcoin is a form of internet voting. So far so good.
Is what is happening in Ukraine right ? Is freedom a cause that is really worth truly believing in, fighting and contending for, or is it a truly hopeless and a lost cause ?
It is always easy to put a price on another's freedom than on ones own, easy and certainly cheap to denigrade, debase, devalue and disrespect another's life and care even much less for their feelings and thoughts, even the worthy ones than one's own, even if they be unworthy. It's always easy to promote and to advance ones own goals and ones own objectives, and ideals even if they be fairly false, lowly and deplorable than to promote and to advance another's goals and objectives even if they be fairly true, laudable and commendable.
Without freedom there can be no creativity, no room for growth and betterment, and stagnation only leads to moral, which is the same as spritual, mental which is the same as psychological, and material which is the same as physical decay and eventually death of all of the three.

Sorry licensing to company's is selling out. It's incorrect. Company have much more resources to monopolize giving them free code makes it worse.
28:10 "The only known defense against malware is free software."
I want to complain with javascript!
That’s a Thinkpad.
420
At that point, that's probably an x60
X60s

Is that actually true, how is it the case that a DRM scheme couldn't be implemented with Free Software?
Is music and video really the same as software with respect to DRM?
DRM is intended to prevent you from running the software as yow wish, going aganist Freedom 0.
It's like owning a Blu-ray drive on your computer and a Blu-ray movie and not being able to play that movie on your computer without buying extra software that bought the right to be able to decode the disc. It's silly because none of it is necessary. It's restriction for the sake of restriction, and people pay for it. It's ridiculous.
@@WR3ND
Well it's restriction to protect the income of the people making the material. There is an unfortunate attitude amongst users of GPL software. That the GPL means other people should work for nothing, just to give them free shit. That is not what the GPL is for!
Maybe people should get real jobs making things that work. Likewise, maybe people shouldn't buy things that don't work. Yet, here we are. Stupid is as stupid does.
@@WR3ND
I don't see how what you've said relates to my comment.
why does he focus only on software and not hardware? nothing lies in silicon right? no backdoors or other mechanisms invisible to the software running on those chips.
He does focus on those things. Maybe not in this speech, but look at libreboot and the Thinkpad X60 for example. The list of hardware that is free in that sense is limited, but it does exist.
Yes he does
Tells about hardware too.
I'm actually extremely hyped about "Open Hardware"
Prusa has proudly stood as the flagship of open hardware for 4 years now and they ABSOLUTELY set the standard of how open hardware is being done.
Can't wait until the day I could get an open hardware laptop
I don't understand his point about Open Source!
open source just care about practicality reasons (people could fixing bug).
open source software and free software is not the same thing
It's sad youtube was acquired by Google and is now proprietary. Now it feels like utter disrespect watching this video.
I buy software when no free alternative is available. But, I get what Stallman is saying and he has valid points.
You mean you use proprietary software when there is no Free Software version. There is nothing wrong with buying Free Software, its just most of it happens to be available at zero cost. Keep in mind the word free has several meanings and the one you were thinking of is not the one being used in his speech. Its a nasty bug with the english language.
Blender is THE BEST program in the world
Free software has nothing to do with whether it costs money or not. You missed the point.
Libre not gratis
@Grape_Zumo try librewolf or degoogled chromium
Gentoo is a proprietary software, no sir gentoo is choices. To be truly free, you must let people use things you don't like. Just because there us non free things you can emerge should not disqualify it.
Anything that is going to server you better over time needs to track what you do and spend time on over time. Think personal assistant. Now ideally that functionality needs to be on computers we control and not part of what some business sells to make money. The same is true with speech to text. It should not sent my audio to some business to do what could be done on my own machine.
LibreJS is wonderful!
Well then how are you using UA-cam?
Josh F there isnt better alternative currently but it could release one day
This is kinda funny he asks for all these things at the start only for it to end up on UA-cam, which is a none free website. That said this does help promote the material so maybe he'd be fine with that 🤕
17:31
I don't ever want another cloud. Never did. Thanks Richard for spelling out my fears. Why can't I get software (outside of linux) that lets me do what I want to do without fucking password entries everyday. How the fuck did we get here? How did the rest of you fall asleep at the wheel?
if he go's to facebook.com he's gonna get pisst
lol open da door for air circulation !
Jajajajaj
As much as I respect this man and agree with him ( partially, on some points he's too extreme ) I believe that the more I listen to him the more I see alot of inconsistence in some points.
Some are even pro Central Redistribution and control ( ie in part of "how much artists should make" ) which is against freedom in it's root. Of cource not in ideal Stallman's way but would lead to it.
Be him,now..?
Yeah, plus gentoo (the distro for choice) is "proprietary" because it *doesn't* limit people. It's a dillusion, but he isn't a legend fir his speaking skills.
I have every right to have geolocation on for my own extended mind's benefit.
every1 gather around and praise saint Ignucius from the church of emacs!! **makes random chanting noises and dance moves**
Random number generator reverse polish notation, which hitler,what dance,whom sang the song,feet taps rat packs,trump tenz?..
how does one profit from software they made if people are free to give it away.
