And I'm tired of companies exploiting hard work of the GNU project and Free Software movement. I'm tired of the Open Source movement. I'm tired of Linux, I'm tired of Linus Torvalds. He puts blobs in the kernel and calls it acceptable. In the end we get tons of products that are completely unusable. Check any Android phone and you'll that it is full of proprietary blobs for everything, that is completely unusable without them. Every time you call the operating system Linux, you help Open Source movement. You help Google, you help Linux foundation, you help evil corporations. Linux was the most damaging thing that happened to the Free Software movement because people started mixing the terms Free Software and Open Source. People became unaware of 4 fundamental freedoms. I have celebrated the death of Steve Jobs and I'm going to celebrate the death of Linus Torvalds. And before you start calling me names, let me tell that I was officially declared mentally disabled. But if there is one good thing that my mental disability gave me, it's the inability to accept compromises. I value my 4 fundamental freedoms and I'm not going to give them away without a fight.
