On this Thanksgiving holiday be sure to extend appreciation
to the GNU/Linux (and FreeBSD) OS for liberating computing
mankind from the shackles of grubbing commercialism.
All those who use a commercial OS and commercial software
are essentially slaves to be milked like dumb cattle.
Only those who use FOSS are truly free.
Let us give a hearty thanks to the following for their
selfless efforts to liberate mankind:
Dr. Richard M. Stallman
Linus Torvalds
The countless developers the world over of excellent
FOSS software
No contest.
Devs code and users try to deal with the result in often rudimentary surroundings because in a sense both are able and willing to pay the price of freedom. Neither frolic in the brass beds of ivory towers, but we must not be condescending to those who simply do not have the multi-dimensional currency to pay the price.
Gordon Lightfoot's rendition:
"Freedom's just another word for nothin' left to lose
Nothin' ain't worth nothin' but it's free"
