kzbin.info/www/bejne/sIHXkJhveMmeZpo This is a new HQ rip that I made recently. This has not been compressed at all by me, but I've only deinterlaced it and upscaled it to 1080p. The reason I did the upscale is because the higher the resolution the higher the quality that KZbin will use for the video in general. Another difference from the old rip is that this rip has a framerate of 50 fps, not 25 fps. This preserves all the motion from the source video. Every step of the ripping process has been done using the lossless FFV1 codec, and the only lossy compression was done by KZbin's video encoder.

I think its some kind of American perception, they have such a fear of socialism without really understanding what socialism actually is. To therm its like a dirty word and in many instances they will even argue against their own interests by becoming sycophants for the super rich. Its a conditioned mentality. Where it comes from I do not know and if anyone can enlighten me I would be most grateful.

[@hainish2381]

+MSK Chess If this is really a sincere interest of you, you might enjoy reading "The S Word: A Short History of an American Tradition...Socialism", by John Nichols, a book that goes through the history of socialism in America and how, in recent decades, that has changed so that through things like the McCarthy era and its propaganda, and the Cold War, the word and the communist fear, socialism became a bad word. And you might also be interested in listening to the democrat presidential candidate Bernie Sanders, he considers himself a democratic socialist and he talks about what that means and what that means in the US. You can look for both things online and right here on youtube.

[@youreale]

I think Dr. Stallman deserves respect for what he created. Free software may seen as religion for some people, but is a important feature to the whole industry.

[@Eezapropageeza]

+youreale I think that's true. Sometimes developers can be inspired by GNU algorithms to solve technical issues and can use the concepts as a basis for forming their own specific methods that eventually become parts of commercial software. I know of professional console games programmers who often examine free methods in order to get ideas that can lead to solving specific issues they are facing. They do create proprietry code that facilitates the game console's architecture into being in the appropriate states, but nonetheless it is the free community software that can shine a light on awkward issues. In return, they are active members of the Linux community for their part, bringing professional expertise to the supply of free libraries. Fair enough, I reckon. Most successful and industry renouned commercial game developers are, for the large part, actually hobbyist coders anyway... when they are not sucked into and encaged within the abyssal, long, long days of the beta dev testing cycle near the end... Lol!

[@igorschmidlapp6987]

Richard Stallman's problem to me was that he was/is a very strong activist, but not a very good marketer, which is off-putting to some people, and hurts his message. "Think 'free speech', not 'free beer'" is an excellent way to put it. Too bad that he didn't do that way back when. His fervency kind of got in the way. Decades ago, we referred to Linux, and GNU-Linux... Now, the "distros" are involved (RedHat, Debian, Ubuntu, etc.), where you're paying for the packaging/support from the commercial sources, but, it's still Linux...

Epic documentary. Changed my view on this matter. Cheers!

[@christopheralthouse6378]

I will say this... And this is one thing that I really like about Linux and why I am slowly coming more and more around to the concept and becoming even more curious about it. This is where Linux has helped me. My parents recently purchased two new Windows 10 PCs to replace an old, failing virus-laden Windows 7 laptop. Now, at this time I had (and still have) a somewhat newer laptop that originally had Windows 7 and has since been upgraded twice to where it now runs Windows 10 as well, however, I felt it a shame to see their old laptop go to waste. Being the sort of curious-type that I am, I decided that I wanted to fix my parent's old system and bring it back to life. I had been curious for a while about Linux and so decided to go that route. Best... Decision... Ever. I liked the fact that Linux was free (I am not made of money) and I was also impressed with just how easy it was to download and install. That old PC is no longer virus-laden, nor is it anywhere close to failing anymore. Yes, it is a bit of a learning curve but that just makes me even more excited about learning Linux. Best thing? This formally 'old, failing' system is now FASTER than my Windows 10 PC. Seriously. My original plan was to use the Linux PC for gaming and experimentation and my Windows 10 PC for the 'serious' stuff... However, I now find myself using the Linux PC (remember, this was the old, failing system that my parents were going to throw away) for pretty much EVERYTHING now due to just how well it performs now. I hate to say it, but, my former 'pride and joy', my Windows 10 PC, I now just pretty much keep around as a loaner for my close friends and co-workers who find themselves in temporary need of a PC. I know... it's kinda sad, really, but it's true. My Linux system runs circles around it now and I just kinda don't like using the Windows 10 PC anymore... It's just getting too slow and too glitchy. All in all, side by side... Linux is definitely winning for me. Best way I've found so far to breathe new life into an old system... :)

I am not a computer science major and I do not know much about computer softwares, I use computers to solve certain computational needs as a Biomedical Engineer. I love what linux stands for and have been using ubuntu for the past couple of years, still a long way to go. Was a nightmare initially shifting from windows to Linux to be really honest, but now I don't see any reason whatsoever to use any other platform but linux. A big thanks to linux for solving needs of students and society in a very unorthodox non-commercial way. Excellent documentary too, neatly narrated and the content is well compiled. I also love the message Linus gives to Indians as well. Most of the able indian programmers in the past had been looking for a direction or an employment and he says, 'identify your local problems and built your own solutions, don't listen to me'. Priceless.

[@robotron1236]

Android is about as open source as ChromeOS…

[@rickking3805]

At the time Linux came out, it wasn't a decision to overthrow Microsoft or anyone else. Linus had what was basically a hobby project he created to fill a void that he had. Without further work, it would not be of any marketable value and would not be able to compete against established operating systems already in existence. Had the internet not come out when it did, it would not have gotten the exposure and support that it did and would never have developed into what it is today. Open source has its weak points but without open source, there wouldn't be a free exchange of ideas that allow things to be developed and created. Love it or hate it but linux has made the world a better place for its being created.

+Matthew Rupert Do you think Richard Stallman is jealous? I think he's frustrated with attention being directed away from the free software philosophy. If everyone goes around using Linux distros, not knowing large parts of them are actually the GNU system, then no one will look at the philosophy behind it. He's idealistic, and that apparently is annoying to many people (you included). But remember, without his idealism free software, GNU, and even Linux _wouldn't exist_. Linux is released under a _GNU_ license. I don't want any RMS bashing in the comments for this video. In fact, I wish I had telekinetic abilities just so I could make this video unloadable to hateful and ignorant people. RMS is a fucking hero, and kissing the ground he walks on is more appropriate than the mean comments people throw around. He gave up his whole career to make GNU possible, and now it's done, and you should be _fucking happy_.

[@garoad2]

Adam N. Well, let's face it... it IS fun to poke at RMS and his cave man beard or viking hair style, and such. That said, anyone seriously attacking the guy is either ignorant or an immoral pile of shit who should be locked up to protect the rest of us.

garoad Disagreeing with someone isn't ignorant, nor immoral. Only you are for stating such a stupid comment.

[@garoad2]

Chuck Underhill How ironic, you've proven how ignorant and stupid you are if you disagree with Stallman on this topic. Keep your "opinions" to music and art where they belong--there are well established philosophical principles in this field which left opinion behind centuries ago. Either you're on the side of freedom, or you're a criminal opponent of freedom. There is no "opinion" on the matter. No opinion can justify aggression or tyranny, sorry.

Surely C++ has its own problem.. although many of which could be solved by simply breaking ABI compatibility (unfortunately the committee isn't quite willing to do so). Many of C++'s problems are solved quite well by Rust. C is very far from being a good language as is, the lack of templates, RAII, proper RTTI, type deduction, constexpr contexts, etc is just a hard facepalm

[@SuperGreatSphinx]

Linux is a family of open-source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991, by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged as a Linux distribution (distro), which includes the kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses and recommends the name "GNU/Linux" to emphasize the use and importance of GNU software in many distributions, causing some controversy.

I already have Portuguese subtitles in this video, but if you want you could take a look at them, if there are any errors or anything missing? I don't know what state they're in, because I can't read Portuguese. You could compare them to the English subtitles. I'd be very grateful, thanks! :) Here's a download link for all the subtitles: www.filedropper.com/subtitlesforthecode2001storyoflinux3

Sounds like a great start on your Linux journey :) How old are you?

[@Cotswolds1913]

Great but....intellectual property rights were made up by governments in the 19th century, has nothing to do with the free market (voluntary exchange). Open source code is actually one of the best examples of the free and decentralized market I can think of.

[@tensevo]

Interesting they say Linux conflict with the free market. Firstly we have never had a truly free market and secondly according to economic theory, the true value of something will fall to its labour value, in other words, if it takes less than 1ms to copy a file and no human effort then the free market would dictate that product would cost basically nothing. Linux seems to play well with the anarcho-capitalist movement.

[@jscottupton]

I disagree with the comment at 2:25 that "open source does not mix smoothly with the concept of the free market economy..." There is no real conflict, although there are some court cases which happen anytime human beings interact. The "free market" includes many things such as private charity, helping your neighbor, etc. etc. The opposite of the "free market" is the "statist economy" or "government planned economy". Later in the video they point out that Linux code writers DO get a "return" for their time and effort. If Linux is not "free market" then it can only be one thing...a government run or financed project which it is not. Linux has sometimes been labeled "communist". Nothing could be further from the truth. No linux code has been written at gun point. No linux code has been written under threat of fine or imprisonment (assuming that the rights of others are not in question). Again at 50:00 a comment is made about the "transfer of wealth being socialism..." when, in fact, what is being described is a free, voluntary transfer (or 'exchange')...not using the coercion required under socialism. If it is voluntary then it is free...not "socialistic".

[@alexphillips4663]

Thanks! I came here to make the same point. The main philosophy behind libertarianism is the freedom from coercion. Government exists solely to coerce, so naturally we want as little of that as possible-- only enough to deter and remedy the situation when others in society wrongfully try to coerce others. Instead, libertarians prefer voluntary association, charitable donation, mutually beneficial contracts, and all other sorts of things that provide the structure for consensual cooperation rather than coercion. As you said, none of the FOSS contributors are forced to participate. They do so voluntarily, and they are free to stop doing so at any time. It's about as non-coercive as it can get, and that makes it very libertarian, and very much at odds with the reality of socialism or communism (whose proponents like to pretend coercion isn't part of it, but they have never existed without it). It's not called "redistribution of wealth" when a person voluntarily gives money to someone who is less fortunate. Redistribution occurs when money (or other resources) are taken forcibly from one group and given to another. Marxist theory is quite clear that this is a violent act; it speaks of revolutionary overthrow of the "Bourgeoisie" and a "dictatorship of the Proletariat." There's no pretense of voluntary exchange or peacefulness in the process until the mythical (and impossible) end stage where true communism is achieved and the state, now obsolete, withers away. I know the socialists want so badly to have an example of their pet philosophy working, but there just aren't any.

[@knpstrr]

Open-source/free software may be "socialistic" but it is NOT "socialism", in the political sense. Everyone is free to choose whether they use or develop in the open-source community, it is voluntary participation, as it should be. Socialism would be saying that everyone MUST share, no exceptions, if not you will be fined/jailed/etc. A very LARGE distinction. Socialism (government/legal or authoritarian force) is not a form of freedom. People that claim open-source is socialism in action is pushing their political agenda.

[@kennethflorek8532]

Contrary to the claim one person made in the video, any libertarian I am aware of would think of the GPL and linux as the flowering of liberty and capitalism, where the private sector triumphs over government control, and a refutation of the dismal predictions of socialists.

@FckU Ffo You are free to translate the subtitles to Russian. I just want to remind you that there are NO RUSSIAN subtitles for this on the entire Internet, so unless I'm Russian (I'm not), exactly how would I be able to provide them? Create them, pm me and I'll add them to the video.

[@adamn.4111]

+Paul Langton-Rogers I agree! I was surprised to see that not one person tried to contribute since I uploaded the video o.O At least that's what it looks like, since I've gotten zero private messages. I'd be happy if someone made Russian, or Chinese subtitles, or maybe Hindi :)

I switched to Linux Mint 3 years ago. The 2 major updates that makes Linux ready for mainstream desktop is that they fixed the video driver crashing issue with installing new graphics cards and Linux Kernels now have incremental updates.

[@JosephAlanMeador]

Thanks so much! great

[@echoingowl4025]

Love Linux. Apparently its full potential is still not being realized, because of the shorted thinking that, anything that costs has value. Although I think that Linux is invaluable and with Ubuntu 14.1 and the upcoming 15.04 flavors, consumer choices would definitely move in a different direction...

[@echoingowl4025]

I agree. Commercialization is not the answer. But the freedom movement should grow. Limiting it to a few would be detrimental to the movement.

[@adamn.4111]

***** The Linux kernel is released under GPL, so it will never cost money. Breaking the license is illegal, so even Linus Torvalds can't do it. Do you really prefer Linux to be used only by geeks? It has a ton of other possible uses, where Windows currently takes its place. Look around you, all public computers, all ATMs, cash registers etc are Windows. They shouldn't be, because Windows is a desktop OS, and not made to run ATMs. Linux can be reshaped to suit any use, but Windows can't. All we're doing by keeping Linux a "niche" is letting Windows unfairly take its place.

[@echoingowl4025]

Adam N. Really liked your viewpoint.

[@zackwynne1112]

Adam N. "The Linux kernel is released under GPL, so it will never cost money." Linux-based systems are sold all the time. You can go and buy many of the distributions available. The GPL just makes it so that you have to give the users the same freedoms you were given, including the one that lets you distribute it. You can sell it, but when someone buys it they are able to share it around.

[@adamn.4111]

Zack Wynne I know they sell Linux systems. But if you know what the GPL means, you'd also know they can't sell GPL'd software without also offering it for free, usually in source code format. Most "commercial" distributions also have a free alternative. Red Hat has Fedora, SUSE has openSUSE etc. Free as in freedom, not as in free beer. Still, freedom usually results in 'for free', even if that's not obligatory.
