Guys I'm famous now, Techrights wrote a blog post about me, does this mean I can get a Wikipedia page now https://techrights.org/n/2023/12/19/Brodie_Robertson_is_Wrong_Because_Flatpaks_Snaps_Do_In_Fact_Pro.shtml

I do like that he uses the term vlogger to describe me, as if he himself isn't just a blogger. Just because you type instead of speak it doesn't make what you're saying any more important

@immaculatetaste Also half the post isn't even about me, it's about It's FOSS covering things that aren't FOSS sometimes and Stallman getting cancelled

@BrodieOnLinux it is a very short blog post, so according to the rules you only get a wikipedia page once he blogged about you 3 times.

@BrodieOnLinux a whole article that literally only contains "he's wrong. Stallman right" without any argument to support it? What the hell is that 😂

@gracicot I didn't even spot that, what is he saying Stallman is correct about lol. Stallman said Flatpaks and Snaps contain proprietary code and you shouldn't trust proprietary code, nobody is in disagreement

@BrodieOnLinux they go out of the way to make sure it sounds like they are explaining why flatpak promotes proprietary software without actually explaining why

@BrodieOnLinux that's funny because not only is the title misleading the reader into believing that flatpaks and snaps themselves (not their stores) promote non-free software in some way, but also because, on the flatpak side, flathub actually displays a warning in every program that is proprietary, because having a closed source license is treated by it (flathub) as a security risk, so... If they're trying to incentive users to make use of non-free software, they're doing a terrible job.

@BrodieOnLinux i also love how it's said in the title that flatpaks and snaps are mostly foolish, but the article just never elaborates on it LOL 😂

@hiyatolol He is often a Stallman dick rider, if Stallman says something then it must be good. I've gone on record to say many times I think Stallman's stance on hardware code is counter to the entire free software philosophy (if it's baked into the hardware we don't think about it), and I don't like this idea that you have to go 100% free software, most people can not do that an in fact demanding that only hurts the movement, I take a more practical approach to the matter

@hiyatolol With that being said I think a lot of Stallman's early work was incredibly important and much of what he still says today on privacy is important to hear (albeit a losing battle)

@BrodieOnLinux oh yes, we've made Techrights headlines before 🙃 In 2020 one of the people working on @privacyguides with me disclosed a potential conflict-of-interest when we were reviewing Startpage, and Techrights managed to manufacture plenty of drama out of that GitHub comment, and threatened to conjure up a story about paid Startpage shills unless they got a response to their pointed questions from us (and delivered on that "threat" when we wrote him off as delusional and ignored him) haha

@BrodieOnLinux @hiyatolol his stance on the hardware is also weird for me.But I understand the 100% demand. He started the "Free Software Foundation", and not the "software compromises foundation". We might have to make compromises in real life, but the advocacy should be about demanding software to be free, and rewarding those who abide by this philosophy.

@BrodieOnLinux that's kinda the issue with the game industry, not free software though.Most game studios exploit their workers with miserable working conditions, and then exploit their users with all imaginable hostile antifeatures.Luckily, gaming is not a necessity in life, so I would definitely not make my computing decisions based on that. Sure, it's nice that I can run StarCraft on Linux, but it's not the purpose of my computer to run it.

@nicemicro It doesn't matter what the reason is, if you're thinking of the reason you're already miles away from the average person. I want to play video games, if I can't your system is broken therefore I use windows.

@BrodieOnLinux then we are back to square one, software companies have no problem exploiting their users, as long as their users don't care, and the FSF can't make the users care, because then "what about muh games".The users don't do anything to force the devs to make free software, because if they took a stance that would mean no more playing with non-free software.this is the circle of not giving a f*ck.#FreeSoftware

@nicemicro It would be nice if the games were free software but my stance is I want to help people have more free software in there lives, and actually pay attentionn to the software they're running, you don't get that by telling people how they use there computer is wrong, you only get that by helping them adapt in places they can adapt
