I'm /20-3/ and I'm in complete sh*thole. The only one thing I can do know to
support libre software is to use it and I do so. Although there is one thing
in my scope which may be considered as not fully libre.. (tails). I will
probably get a new .iso and run deblobbing scripts before burning it.. I live
in Russia (I guess you may not understand how sad it is, but believe me it is
one of the most closest places to the hell in this world, I think hell is
even better place because it is not so gray and corrupted). I always try to
spread an idea of using libre software.. among friends(not really, just ones
I know -- I dont have friends), and among family. No one understands me, no
one wants to neither. My mom argues with me every time when I try to explain
her why she shouldn't use Excel.. Book of faces.. etc. She gots mad andn
starts calling me an idiot (there're words in Russian which I way hotter than
in English or Spanish or French -- I can't explain it via a text message) Not
only she doesnt want to step in the world of freedom, but she puts all her
power into defending people, who create engins of surviliance. At first times
I used to think like 'ok She is just not aware of how things really work. I
should try to help her to try it out'. But in the end I realized that I
can do nothing with that. So, I just let her go. Now I just ignore her
everytime she tries to stop me(she really does -- she says that I will never
create a revolution and that I should step down to the 'real world' from the
one I'm currently living in. I tried to explain to her that the world in
which the only one way to live is to live by earning of money and to
create products for the same reason is not really right place to live in) But
she doesnt want to hear me. She treats me as a thing that will produce money
for her in the future (she says that openly (not only about me, but about my
little brother as well)). This is a just a little pice of shit that surrounds
me. I am a very kind person and I am unusually calm(it often make people mad
when they try to make me angry or to provocate me). So such kind of things
will never stop me, but it makes me sad sometimes. There is another side of a
coin -- my little brother. I let him playing wind*wz games, even connect to
the web while he is using wind*wz. I cant take it away from him because I
see that he (instead of adults) looks at this world differently and his
feelings from playings those games (even though they are proprietary) are
dramaticly different from what an adult may feel. So, I just took good 50 Gb
for Trisquel. And he boots in it every time he wants to try something cool.
He asks me when he needs help and I answer. So he will grow up step by step
and realize by himself why the world in which money are put in top of people
is the world of past.
//I just dont undrestand why people dont believe people. I'm not a machine,
I'm not a spammer, and not a cracker. You say you build a libre world in
which everyone can help their neighbour, but at the same time you build firms
that make it hard to step into this world. I'm not writing about technical
solutions, I write about people, ones, who would better do anything, rather
than just simlply giving a hand of help.
