Well, regarding FSF's position on gaming consoles/video games, just like me right now, you might as well be shocked to read the last item in this link: https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/proprietary-jails.html I'm shocked because I just bought a gaming console last month, thinking that I could use it without compromissing my freedom, And I'm still paying for it... Man, I swear, if I make any other mistake like this again... ... I don't even want to write what I could do... Even worse, my parents won't allow me to return or sell it... Man, I'm so unlucky... Someone really needs to make a free gaming console. I'm tired of being victim of this issue. Besides, there is that 25% tax that must be paid when the product arrives, and the risk of having the product aprehended/blocked during import. I shouldn't have born in Brazil. I think I'm going crazy... ... Respectfully, Adonay.
