@mjg59 Isn't "unreasonable" their entire schtick?
I mean, unreasonable got some good things started, but by this point, we probably need a completely different brand of unreasonable.
@darkling @mjg59 Read the article. Their "unreasonable" perspective isn't unreasonable in the sense that it tries to enforce that everything is free or push a maximalist freedom argument.
It's "unreasonable" because, in practice, it actually advocates for *removing* freedoms from users by removing their ability to update (and possibly even find ways to free) their firmware, instead promoting the existence of non-free firmware that's just invisible.
It's just a completely backwards position that advocates for misleading users into believing their systems are "more free" while actually causing damage without increasing freedom in any measurable way. Freedom PR, basically. The FSF has completely lost it with RYF.
@marcan @darkling @mjg59 this is the disconnect that has made me completely lose interest. they've forgotten that the point is user freedom, including freedom of choice. they've turned it into a bizarre purity test where the only way forward is to deny more and more tangible freedom in exchange for more and more ludicrous notions of abstract freedom.
