Remembering our ideals & staying in control
Hactivist Richard Stallman takes on proprietary software, SAAS and open source – Tech News and Analysis: “‘Our ideals become forgotten,’ he said of open source eclipsing free software, and encouraged the audience to keep talking about free software.”
Richard Stallman is spot on. Read the whole article. I hope video makes its way online, because RMS is right.
It further augurs well that I spoke with MÃ¥rten Mickos on Twitter today (he’s a former CEO of mine and a brilliant mind) and we got chatting on control. He says, “Every time you choose convenience, you lose a little control.” An interesting conversation followed naturally.
Every time you choose convenience, you lose a little control.

Leaves me a lot to think about as I have over time chosen convenience over control and clearly it has come by because I need to refresh on my ideals.
