I read this thread and recognized one thing:
Almost everyone came to free software making graduate steps away from
proprietary software, for example by using ubuntu or linux mint.
Think of yourself and go back in time, when you used windows or mac:
If someone gave you a usb stick with trisquel, talking about freedom, and it
didn't work on your pc due to the lack of non-free firmware, and you missed
your proprietary games etc.,
would you still be here today?
I guess many of you would say: no.
I agree with the fsf concerning the goals. The goal is to free everyones
computing.
But this hard way of telling complete newbies to abandon every non-free
software at once.... I think this achieves the opposite.
And I'm encouraged to think so because of this thread.
