can I be a Free Software advocate but still use non-free software??

I’m asking this because one time, while browsing the GNU website, I noticed that some of the members’ emails had “gmail” on them!! And I asked myself how would that be possible?? And I think other members of the FSF had Gmail too. Why? Richard Stallman is against Gmail, so why would those memberse use it?? Would that...

but Richard Stallman himself uses a completely free (libre) laptop and even his GNU/Linux distro is 100% free, so he is living by his example!! But ok, can I still use Discord and promote free software?? Woa >u<

ok thank you, I understand!! What matters is promoting libre software!! ^u^ By the way, Richard Stallman doesn’t say open source.

but older videogames were extremely proprietary… like NES or Sega… So it would be something different.

technically Ubuntu is owned by a multinational company too!!

I know but both Ubuntu and Android do it for a purpose: Include as many people as possible, most people like Ubuntu but dislike Android. I love both, because they are the pillars of open source along with Debian.

Android isn’t locked down, because you can download things from the internet, get new apps, even if you can’t access the Google Play Store!! and you can run the terminal.

the Linux leader from my Linux usergroup uses Debian 11 with Xfce so technically he is being classic. I use Ubuntu with GNOME, it’s the best for both beginners and pro.

what I’m saying is that Android is a Linux distribution for mobile phones, whether it’s locked down or not depends on the developer!! Which is why Puppy Linux is also locked down and lightweight.

no!! I’m not a troll, but Ubuntu uses sudo commands instead of root. And using root is not encouraged… I’m sorry!!

01adrianrdgz,

yes I know, I’m sorry. I love both Android and Ubuntu!! And you can get sudo in Android, but it can void the warranty of your phone.

the person who organizes the Linux speeches and does other things including the website and posters. I sometimes help him get posters and other stuff done, it’s a community!!

wait if Android has GNU utilities, does that mean it’s GNU/Linux, I read somewhere that Android is Toybox/Linux.

01adrianrdgz,
@01adrianrdgz@lemmy.world avatar

yes!!
