Ok, again for everyone:
I was talking about freedom, too, and using an snes is not the same as
running proprietary software on my computer.
Why?
The Snes is a console I
1) don't use as a computer; I don't do any practical job with it
2) doesn't have any malicious functionality
Both together make the use of an snes pretty much the same as the use of a
dvd player.
You put it in, you play it, you take it out. The possibility to change the
running picture with my controller is the only difference to a dvd player,
and I don't get how this should harm my freedom at all.
Please don't claim that I'm ignoring any rational arguments - they weren't
provided until now.
You can destroy every discussion by just accusing the opposite position of
this.
