Re: [Trisquel-users] FSF and Debian are joining forces to expand and enhance h-node hardware lists

I think you're exaggerating the downsides of not using proprietary software.  
Libre software lags behind proprietary software, but not to the extent you  
suggest. Leaving proprietary software doesn't mean "leaving the digital  
society", it just means leaving (or not joining in the first place) certain  
sectors of "the digital society". Listening to your favorite music via CDs or  
even traditional radio rather than streaming services. Using a crappier VoIP  
program or even a normal telephone rather than Skype. These are sacrifices,  
but they're fairly small sacrifices of practical convenience. It's not  
comparable to exile.

That's not to say that this lag isn't a problem, of course. We should always  
strive to make the switch to libre software more convenient.
