the irony of watching this on youtube tho..

@The Grim Dieter alternatives are usually bought or go out of business after their ceo gets a comfy salary and a lifelong vacation to the bahamas.
OR they get specialised, because they don’t have the financial kickstart or marketing budgets of the bigger more popular mainstream apps (or get paid by the bigger fish in order not to upscale)

Show great respect to Richard Stallman, the founder of FSF and GNU. He is a fighter for software freedom
Yes uwu
He is THE fighter.
@@thecashewtrader3328 end it
I see websummit didn't license this remotely the way he asked. Standard UA-cam License. Seriously?
Not only that, but they didn't provided a link to download the original.
Special 'tism
I think UA-cam dl can download without running closed source software
It's ironic because without UA-cam, so few people would end up seeing this.
To be fair, it has probably less chances of being buried by the algorithms that way, and so could end up being viewed by more people, which is good.
Richard Stallman! One our greatest heroes in the forefront of freedom. Also a great eloge to every whistelblower out there who is courageble enough to speak out against mass surveillance and privacy infringements. The government should never be a covert operation against its citizens... Open your heart...
Matthew Bone The biggest issue with Richard Stallman's movement, is the fact that metaphorically he's giving everyone the keys to the front door, including the government/Google/Facebook/Hackers, by giving people/everyone full accsees to the source code, that creates a huge vulnerability, and it basically makes everything else hes doing, pointless. I wrote more on this, in another comment here, but this is the worst part of his movement.

@@pspvita99 Have you ever heard of encryption? Passwords are not required to be accessible for everybody according to his philosophy.
@@meanmole3212 What is your question/ what are you trying to say? It looks like you just copied and pasted something I already said. Elaborate.
@Aldnox I'm refering to Richard Stallman as a whole. He would prefer no passwords, he would like everyone to be able to edit their own sytem/version of thier OS, meaning by doing this, people can create vulnerabilities in the OS. Linus Trovalds, is helping him with the harder tasks luckily/the kernal is being handled by someone that actually knows what thier doing. Anyway Richards Stallmans way just isn't practical. I know what the free software movement is, and in a few ways, its a great concept, but in allot of other ways its not.
This is the state of free software. The presenter asks the license to be libre, every other commenter screams about the wrong license used in this video, and yet, the uploader Web Summit can't be bothered, because we still watch.
UNITE.
I was about to report this video to youtube but... I am not in US and I am not a representative of Mr Stallman. I guess the best way to do this is to email him so he and FSF can act in their own name. The speech was great and I am sorry it has been that much violated.
i was toying with the same ideology in a sense of exactly what u said, im a complete noobie and trying to get a understanding of what is happening, can u kindly respond if you have time and read this, how do we get around js, even when i have it blocked, even i had it blocked before i found mr rich, but the caca im dealing with as a normal human being is unacceptable, they activtly try to supppress this information thru ddos people off the net? and mitm procedures? and they really tell people there is no evidence of being hacked, or compromised ?

This guy speaks a lot of truth. It costs you one single line of code to move all data to a collector. There is no real privacy without knowing the code of the running program.

Yeah. The phrase "if the user doesn't control the software, the software controls the user" seems so timely now. Ironically twitter crazed people are now trying to cancel him. It's sad.
He's been right for decades. Nothing has changed. He will continue to be right.

Great heros Richard Stallman.
I meet him in 1999 in paris for the conference dealing with java
I've always thought he was a little crazy, but lately I'm starting to listen a little more closely to him. I know he's a smart guy, he always has been. I don't know how right or wrong he is, but he makes great points.
You just dont talk. You just listen to the real goat. ❤️❤
Now this is a great man. Listen to him.
The best analogy or example or illustration and demonstration when it comes to freedom can be found in nature all around us, in our own environment and in our ecology. When I look at the countless shades of green and the countless shapes of leaves of different plants, trees and shrubs, at just a very small part of a greenery or a worded area, I am mesmerised, awe inspired, dumb struck. How many species of animal and plant life have already become extinct. We have not been worthy and proper stewards and custodians of our own home. We have not taken care of our own environment and our own planet properly. We have certainly lost all the species of life and all the diversity in our world. We would rather deny and not grant freedom for self expression and for growth. We would rather be like Hitler, Putin, Kim Jon Un, Mao Tse Tung.
I never really gave this guy to much thought in the past. Now I fully support him and his cause. He is correct on so many levels. I have moved to a totally free computing environment.

Richard Stallman might be a little weird, but I admire the fact that the man lives by the values he's set.
I am a retired software programmer and I agree that whichever way you come into possession of software you should have complete and free use to do what you wish. Programmers work several hours on programs and should be compensated.
Freedom is always priceless. Those who respect and value their own freedom must learn to respect and to value others freedom as well. In fact one who does not respect and value anothers freedom, never has any right to his own. Seek to free, and you will be freed. Seek to bind and you will be bound.
This man is way ahead of his time. We cannot take his admonishments seriously enough.
I love that this is on UA-cam with links to Twitter, Instagram, and Facebook. 😂😂😂
Light only tries to illumine the darkness and in trying to do so only itself becomes brighter, and darkness only tries to darken the light and in trying to do so only itself becomes darker.
Freedom only tries to free bondage and in trying to do so only itself becomes more free, and bondage only tries to bind freedom and in trying to do so only itself becomes more bound.
True freedom is not the freedom to do the wrong thing. True power is not the power to do the wrong thing.
It is not as much the undertaking itself as the (e-motive)spirit behind it that is the cause of it's success or of it's failure.
The spirit of lawfulness is only seemingly binding in the beginning but in the end it is only liberating. The spirit of lawlessness is only seemingly liberating in the beginning, but in the end it is only binding.
Any undertaking that is motivated by the spirit of lawfulness is slated for success, and any undertaking motivated by the spirit of lawlessness is bound for failure.
The spirit of wealth is only seemingly enriching in the beginning but in the end it is only impoverishing. The spirit of virtue is only seemingly impoverishing in the beginning, but in the end it is only enriching.
Any undertaking motivated by the spirit of virtue is slated for success. Any undertaking motivated by the spirit of wealth is bound for failure.
The spirit of greed is only seemingly gain in the beginning, but in the end it is only loss. The spirit of generosity is only seemingly loss in the beginning, but in the end it is only gain.
Any undertaking motivated by the spirit of generosity is slated for success. Any undertaking motivated by the spirit of greed is bound for failure.
If there is one truth that stares us in the face, right now more than ever, it is, how hard it is to gain ones freedom, and how easy it is to lose it ? If we are not yet willing to acknowledge and to appreciate, how valuable, and priceless freedom really is then we do not deserve it. In every war be it covert, or overt, and in every conflict, all the sides are fighting for their own freedom. Exactly which side is free in themselves. Freedom clearly is in the greatest of demand, but also in the shortest of supply, but neither does there appear to be a supplier of true freedom. But neither is money truly able to purchase the true freedom that every side so desperately seeks.
With Red Hat doing what they did with their linux in the Spring and Summer 2023 Im glad he is around and still holding the torch for free software. We need more people to carry the torch as he has.
"price is minor detail"? this sounds contrary to the whole system in the world. but there's still hope if we have more people like Stallman.
RMS, respect from asia!
A single button on Richard's shirt has managed to reclaim its freedom
Brilliant lecture.
What an absolute legend
"Stalin would have said 'Wow. That's amazing. Develop it for me.' And then he would have killed you" I have so much respect for this man! Not carrying a mobile phone is far too extreme for me personally but you have to take your privacy seriously.
This man underestimates the Stasi, but apart from that, gold.
RMS for president!! And 4 more years!!
Live Listen is powerful. What does Stallman know of this active listening device? Anyone with a cellphone and a hearing aide can "read" his/her neighbor's conversations. Even people advocating for hearing aide purposes discount its common use. Either we must find ways to shun spying (gossip) or find ways of shutting off networks that target a person or group. "no off switch" And micro-movements of vocal apparatus. The vocal apparatus is moving always when speech is involved, overt or covert.
THIS VIDEO SHOULD BE SET TO CREATIVE COMMONS -
love this guy..
...oh yeah, he is so sexy^^
"Hello", "Hello", "Hello"..."a slide has disappeared".
True freedom is freedom from the bottomline, never freedom from top of the line.
Do we always have to start with number 0?
Blessed are the poor in spirit, (including in the spirit of freedom), for they shall be filled.
If people choose to value money, could they possibly not be eager, ready and willing to sell not just their morals but also any of the personal freedoms they might enjoy for it. You can always have true freedom as long as you learn to enjoy it responsibly and respect other people's freedoms as much as your own and not try to curtail or infringe upon other people's personal liberties and personal freedoms. But is it in the right spirit to put a price on all kinds of true freedoms including for freedom software. People who defend the case of money and speak for it must think if they truly love money and truly value money, are staunchly loyal and faithful to money, money will truly love them back, will always be loyal and faithful to them and will always be there for them, so much so that they will always be full of money, nevermind that even now they are having to pay more and more money for less and less both in quality and in quantity of everything.
Would Stallman have an issue showing this video on UA-cam? Doesn't the site require JavaScript?
Yes he would
Yes. He promotes not using UA-cam, and if you really want to watch videos from that platform you can use youtube-dl which is a Free tool (although he acknowledges that this is not something UA-cam as a platform needs).
as long as this video is uploaded in webm
There's nothing wrong with JavaScript per se.

And the license is not the one he requested.
Freedom is always a necessary pre-requisite for creativity and for growth, both in the right direction as well as in the wrong direction, or again who knows, maybe all directions are okay for light to shine, to disperse and to spread.
I gotta ask, why is this video interlaced? It's from 2016, not 1996.
I could tell by the lack of cheering for Snowden who the Web Summit actually represents. Richard Stallman is an American hero.

Sorry ASUS but I will learn and reveal everything you claim is "proprietary". good job engineering, you don't need to hide what you do, just keep doing it better.
Seek to bind another, and you will come to be bound yourself; seek to free another and you will come to be freed yourself. Seek to harm another and you will come to be harmed yourself; seek to help another and you will come to be helped yourself.

Although we live in a world of consumerism and the consumer is often treated as a fool, but the the cook will most certainly eat his own dish. The doctor will most certainly take his own medicine. The teacher will most certainly learn his own lesson, and the judge will most certainly face his own judgement. Although we always have the freedom and the choice in this regard, the wise choice is always to make it a good one, never a bad one. True freedom is always freedom from the bottom line (money), never freedom from the top line.
beautiful mind
The only software that truly sets you free and is top of the line, is the one that sets you free from the bottom-line.
Freedom always has to be hard fought and won. It always comes at a price, but never as in money. Money does not buy true freedom, or anything else truly good for that matter.
If you desire freedom for yourself, do not seek to bind another.
True freedom is not freedom to do the wrong thing. True power is not the power to do the wrong thing. Everyone values their own life and their own freedom, but no one values anothers life and anothers freedom. But one who does not value anothers life and anothers freedom loses the right to his own life and his own freedom. Seek to free another, and you will come to be freed yourself. Seek to bind another, and you will come to be bound yourself.
The nature of the spirit of bondage is to bind hence it always only binds both freedom as also itself. The nature of the spirit of freedom is to free hence it always only frees itself, and also tries to free bondage, but the law prevails and says only freedom deserves to be free never bondage, and only bondage deserves to be bound, never freedom.
If you happen to be a spectator, who are you rooting for ? If you happen to be a player, who are you playing for ? Whose side are you on ?
Lawfulness is seemingly binding in the beginning but in the end only liberating.
Lawlessness is seemingly liberating in the beginning but in the end only binding.
Everything evil seemingly(illusorily) promises to pay you in the beginning, but in the end, it really only costs you. Everything good seemingly threatens to cost you in the beginning, but in the end it really only pays you.
Thank you for sharing this. As a noob, WHO is this speaker? I understand that he wrote GNU? I run Debian on a raspberry pi, but just bought a thinkpad to use as a main Linux machine. Wondering what distro to use- excited to get free.
8:12 I'm doing that, and I'm learning logic gates flow
Just like a variable, or a name, or a symbol in a program, every person always represents, is always a place holder for, always stands for, always symbolizes and epitomizes, one or more values, not always quantifiable or numerical or even tangible, hopefully by choice rather than by circumstance or by compulsion, and freedom could be one of those values, for those who choose to sincerely believe in, to value and to respect freedom, of others as much as their own, then they do become placeholder's for, vanguards for, emissaries, spokespersons for, a representative of, an advocate of, a contender for, a container and a dwelling place for the spirit of freedom. If one chooses to value the spirit of true freedom one becomes the embodiment of and the personification of the spirit of freedom.
Freedom is very real. By that I mean, choice is very real. Though inwardly all of us probably fear and suspect, but may not know for sure and even if we do, we simply cannot believe, come to terms with, and acknowledge the fact that money never buys true freedom, true love, true prosperity, true health, true peace, true happiness, true joy....., although we have never stopped counting on it to. So we have always had and we always do have a choice in this regard, either to put our faith in money or to put our faith in morals. So the most precious commodity to us is always our own faith never another's money. But almost all of us more out of naivety and out of ignorance, out of a lack of true wisdom, choose to put our faith in money. Lack of true knowledge and true wisdom is always the only true lack, a poor fund of knowledge and a poor understanding of things is always the only true poverty, never a lack of money. But money does not buy any of that either. So choice or freedom always exists, but what we always truly lack in is only the wisdom to make the right choices.
I agree with his points, and it makes sense if you're thinking rationally, but all of this tech is so hard to give up.
No pain No gain
True Freedom is the freedom to choose between free-open-source and proprietary.
yes but proprietary software is not free, so its not part of freedom
Choosing proprietary software is like choosing to be a victim/slave.

Freedom can never lead to bondage. But bondage can lead to greater bondage which is good, or bondage can also lead to freedom, which is the greater(doubly) good. Seek to bind another, and you will come to be bound yourself, seek to free another and you will come to be freed yourself.
The human mind is an extremely powerful instrument of thought, but it can be used by the thinker(human) to think both right thoughts as well as wrong thoughts. Right thoughts liberate and free the thinker and his mind, wrong thoughts bind the thinker(human) and his mind. Likewise with the heart from which proceeds not only the humans feelings, but also the words of his mouth, and likewise with the body from which proceeds his deeds.
Freedom can always come out of bondage but bondage can never come out freedom. Good can always come out of evil, but evil can never come out of good.
36:16 funniest part
Is true freedom and more importantly should true freedom be a commodity one can purchase in the market ?
As much as I love Stallman and free software, I can't help but find a few inadequacies in what they're trying to accomplish. Even if software is 'free as in freedom', in the way that Stallman describes it at the beginning of the talk describing four basic requirements, none of that means that the software actually respects the freedoms or basic dignity of its users. All this means is that now it can be transparently malicious, instead of opaquely malicious.
In recent years we have seen the exponential growth of 'Software as a Service', where it is not merely the binary executing on your machine that provides some experience for the user, but in fact there is an entire infrastructure of which your local machine only constitutes an endpoint. And one cannot use this software fully without also being engaged in this infrastructure. So, even if every bit of running software in this infrastructure is 'free', it can still accomplish the same data surveillance and flout privacy so long as it maintains its code base in a manner compliant with the GPL or other FSF-friendly license. And indeed, we can see lately several large corporations, MS, McGoogle, Amazon, etc., engaging more and more in 'open source' projects, integrating them into their own products, even complying with this standard of 'free' in certain cases like Azure Sphere.
Stallman's line of thinking seems to indicate that, if presented with the information and a choice, that people will not use such software that doesn't respect their best interest, and migrate to other software that does. My observation of the state of things today leads me to believe that wouldn't be the case, and that even as 'alternatives' spring up they'll engage in the same behavior so long as the profit potential exists. But even beyond that, people will continue to use such malicious platforms even while being fully aware of the abuses, as in the case of Facebook, Twitter, or even UA-cam. The infrastructure required for these massive services are such that there are necessarily only a small assortment of large, well funded companies which can provide it. Smaller startups either fail due to being unable to compete at the same level, or get bought up by larger companies. These services may become so large that they become soft requirements for engaging in their careers or communications with friends, family, and colleagues. Furthermore, the partnership between the state and these companies leaves users largely powerless to affect any meaningful change on these platforms. These platforms can transparently manipulate their user base because users have no recourse and no alternative.
So, in conclusion, I think that the FSF, GNU, other organizations and projects committed to free software are all necessary and welcome, but are also not enough to change the paradigm. They will always be a mere mitigation against state and corporate transgressions against free individuals and societies, at least with this approach. I think that the only way to accomplish something more meaningful, to make free software the mainline, is to change the configuration of our society itself, because presently it is perfectly amenable to the current situation which we are trying to prevent.
