humano I like your thought and what you've written, and I totally agree with
you. Everytime I met something that not respect the Freedom of users I
changed way and study something else, because I use Gnu/Linux principally for
ethics behind it, but I recognize that is more powerful, from the technical
point of view. For now I like very much C and C++ and I want to continue my
studies with this two languages, (for concentrate better my study only on
these two languages: often I'm dispersive in my studies eheh). Maybe in the
future I'll study Java or alternative, but I think that is very important to
study everything to distinguish what is good and what is wrong.
About the java I don't know nothing, and it's the principal reason for
studying it, (or choose an alternative as you and other people on forum
suggest).
With this method I discover Free Software Distros, and I learned in this
forum more than in other places :)
In my country, (Italy), many people think that Free Software and opensource
are the same... and I hate this situation eheh this is very hard discover and
study this wonderful things, but I like challenges :)
I'm a beginner in programming, you are more expert than me, and you're
probably right: I'm sure that you discover all of this studying this things.
One thing for me is very strange: when I started programming I undestood
immediately that Free Software it provides much more freedom than other
closed-system: how it is possibile that an expert programmer don't recognize
this things? Often I speak with professors, and I try to explain this thing,
something with good results, something not...
I don't want to work with proprietary software, I have studied them, (and I
think that it is important to stay up to date), but on my computers I've only
Free Distros.
I'm a musician and, for me, using proprietary software is something like "you
have 7 musical notes: you can use only 2 because 5 are closed... you can't
share with your friends, you can't create new songs, you can't play a
registered song, modify and redistribute... I say: no thanks!". I think that
a good musician, like good programmer, needs Freedom for control his work,
and have the possibility to share with a community.
It is for these reasons that for me is very strange speak with expert
programmer that says that proprietary software is better... I know little or
nothing about programming but, using Free Software for me the benefits are
evident.
Thank you guys it was a beautiful conversation :)
