People who make another decision would not care about the damage they do to themselves and others by promoting the use of a proprietary system to access and learn about a free software project devised to intentionally do just the opposite and to give people access to code and ownership of their digital system. Why would someone sell that freedom for a minor convenience. This has been hashed. If everyone depended on this Software as a Service then you would have a nice walled garden to the Kernel Code. That would be a nice for you __maybe__, but it would be bad for the rest of us. https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/who-does-that-server-really-serve.html >> Others may come to different conclusions.

But for what it is worth, SOS is killing free software on the google platform altogether and it is a tragedy... it is killing Free Software and choking the future of development. > Jeff Haran > > > _______________________________________________ > Kernelnewbies mailing list > Kernelnewbies@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > http://lists.kernelnewbies.org/mailman/listinfo/kernelnewbies -- So many immigrant groups have swept through our town that Brooklyn, like Atlantis, reaches mythological proportions in the mind of the world - RI Safir 1998 http://www.mrbrklyn.com DRM is THEFT - We are the STAKEHOLDERS - RI Safir 2002 http://www.nylxs.com - Leadership Development in Free Software http://www2.mrbrklyn.com/resources - Unpublished Archive http://www.coinhangout.com - coins! http://www.brooklyn-living.com Being so tracked is for FARM ANIMALS and and extermination camps, but incompatible with living as a free human being. -RI Safir 2013 _______________________________________________ Kernelnewbies mailing list Kernelnewbies@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.kernelnewbies.org/mailman/listinfo/kernelnewbies
