I remember I was in a class and my teacher used big blue button and she never mentioned that this was free and open source software and I think a lot of us would have been very happy to hear that. I think also people need to mention that it is free and open source software

[@Vamp898]

Most likely she didn't knew nor cared. Most people use free software because it's free of charge, not because it's actually free. If Big Blue Button would be non-free software but free of charge, she would have used it anyway. So why exactly should she mention something she (I assume) didn't care about?

Has Free Software really gained awareness and interest over the past decades? I feel like we sometimes incorrectly assume it has because more people are upset over tracking, privacy invasion, information control etc. But I feel like those complaints are just "we wanna go back to proprietary programs like they were 20 years ago before tracking!" And very few of those critics care about if the source code is free

[@kevinjackson4933]

I'm an example of someone who has largely switched to open-source, even to great inconvenience and annoyance at times given my non-tech savvy nature. I also switched some of my basic habits for privacy purposes (with the help of Rob Braxman's channel). I just made this change starting in 2020 when I saw just how evil Big Tech really was. But I know a lot of people who understand these issues to varying degrees and don't like it at all, but do nothing at all. And it's very concerning. It's like watching everyone walk themselves into a prison.

I bought LG Music Flow wi-fi speakers. They were only produced in 2015. I'm certain they were not produced with microphones in them. They were created to compete with Sonos which, at the time, did not have a "smart" speaker on the market. Alexa may have existed then, I'm not sure. But I believe no manufacturer had "smart" speakers available then. So no real worries there. We have a 2019 Hisense RokuTV with the dumb remote. No voice activation anything. No camera, and I'm HOPING no microphones. But the only way I can be certain is to open the TV and look, and that's not happening. My wife would kill me. My Google Pixel 6a has GrapheneOS installed and *_NO_* Google services whatsoever, and no logged in accounts. I use a browser to log in to email and banking. The phone I'm typing on has Google on it, but it's locked down as tight as Google will let me lock it, so no assistant available, and it NEVER leaves the house. I only use it to comment on KZbin. I have glasses frames, and lenses, that thwart facial recognition cameras. GrapheneOS, as I said. My next steps are email aliases, anonymous phone numbers, and eventually shutting down my Google account completely. It's an arduous process to remove the matrix tentacles from my life. They crept in so easily. Very insidious.

[@CrustyAbsconder]

RMS got railroaded. People forget history. For much of the early history of the USA, brothels were as common as dirt. An industry existed in the 1600's and the 1700's etc. to recruit young ladies, who had a propensity for provided services that pleased men. As far back as the 1980's the State of Texas sanctioned and taxed The Best Little Wh*rehouse in Texas. The woke culture came along and showed that local polticians were getting free-money under-the-table, to keep these businesses in operation. And that left a void for other brothel-managers to come in and secretly offer services. Many just made the drive to the border a few hours away, where the Mexican Government publically managed legal-brothels that were clean and had security. But the woke culture along with the cartels put an end to that beautiful historical industry. And that is where entrepreneurs like Epstein came along. He likely noticed young ladies were hooking up with sleazy con-artist to make p*rn videos, and beach-party videos. ( Girls Gone W*ld, etc. ). All he did was offer them an option, and they accepted it. Likely by the time, they got to the island, they were already 18 and had been doing tricks for 6 years to their middle-school gym-coach and preacher. The real criminals walked away with nobody noticing. Only people like RMS who commented vaguely about the system, were punished, and they were punished extremely.
