How I do my computing

I think it is important for free software to provide free graphical user interface software, which is why the GNU Project arranged to launch three projects to develop that. The third, GNOME, was successful, so we never needed a fourth one.

Does anybody know what the first two GNU windowing systems were? Is he talking about GNUstep?

A friend once asked me to watch a video with her that she was going to display on her computer using Netflix. I declined, saying that Netflix was such an affront to freedom that I could not be party to its use under any circumstances whatsoever. These streaming dis-services are malicious technology designed to make people antisocial.

Right, Richard, it's the Netflix users who are antisocial, not the people who get irate when their "friend" tries to load a website.

This really irked me too. Sounds like he would be great fun to be friends with. I guess if I made it my full time job to avoid every modern product or service possible I wouldn't have much time to be social or have fun either.
