@tirifto @gnusocialjp @digdeeper @ryo You can't have freedom without privacy. When you have privacy, you have freedom in private, by default, or it's not private. When you can't have privacy, you are not free to have privacy so you're not free. Actually, why do I even bother? Why even explain this? If you are at all capable of cognition, just listening to Richard Stallman speak one time should be enough. Not that even he is the arbiter of what the word free means, he's just the one that chose to call his thing free software.
Anyway, since people can't agree on the most basic of logic like "words mean what they mean" and have to poison everything with ideological bullshit nonsense, the term free software is now cancerous and ruined forever and can't be saved. I may abandon it entirely and just say "software that respects your freedom", which is long as fuck but should shut up the retards... probably not.
Coming up with another label should not be necessary when the English language already has the words for that, but again, stupid people have killed the language to the point that words have no meaning, so it's now unusable. Maybe it should just be fuck you software, maybe that's better. God, I hate people so much. I shouldn't even post this, I should just delete it and go back to pretending that other people don't exist.

@ryo @digdeeper @gnusocialjp @udon I'm not sure how exactly it started. It may have been just retards on Twatter, actually. I saw it on whatever imageboard I used at the time, that and/or a video making fun of the retards. No idea what year it was, but it wasn't that long ago. Maybe 2019 or 2018. Not sure which sportsball it was. Probably povertyball? -

@ryo @digdeeper @gnusocialjp @udon Well, the advantage is that it's harder to ban specific things in languages that are more contextual without completely crippling the language to the point that people can't even use it anymore. Like, when a word can mean many different things, they may want to ban it because of one meaning, but not be able to because some of those other meanings may be essential for the language to function. And in a language that has fewer sounds in general, that tends to happen more. Plus there are multiple writing systems, so it's easier to get creative than it is in western languages.
One example that maybe you heard off... I think it may have been the media, but whoever it was, retards were getting super offended because Japanese sportsball players were saying 逃げる, and to their tiny brains that sounds like nigger. Well, what if people start sending にげる to Obama? Are they going to ban saying "to run away/avoid/win without being overtaken/escape/fail to hold an ideal posture"? You can more easily use words that sound similar enough and are too essential to be banned. Silly, example, but I think it makes the point.
There are also no spaces, that's another thing to get creative with. That's another hurdle for software to overcome, being able to tell when one word is ending and another is beginning. I bet you could do things with that too. I think these things definitely make censorship through software much more complicated. -

@ryo @digdeeper @gnusocialjp @udon Also, I should have mentioned... I assume that Japanese must be considerably more difficult to censor compared to other languages. Especially when it's already a language that has so many words that are written the same way in kana. I'm sure it's harder for machines to censor things that are entirely based on context. -

@ryo @digdeeper @gnusocialjp @udon Of course, new words can be fine, especially in those cases, and some words are used as actual weapons, like the word "vaccine". And all words are made up, so of course it can be fine to make them up, and maybe have to, because I personally am frustrated with the limitations of spoken language, I just can't express myself very well. In fact, I'm going to make up one new powerful word right now, and it will be... niggot. -

@udon @digdeeper @gnusocialjp @ryo I don't agree with that. Interpreting it by the meaning is the only correct way to interpret that. These are words in the English language and they have meaning, and if they made up a term, it would probably be an ideology, and I would be against it. Software can't be free software if it's not free, if it does not respect the user's freedom, including the freedom to not be spied on. Anything else is a corruption of language. Saying that free software doesn't have to be free is an inversion of reality. -

@digdeeper @gnusocialjp @ryo It feels almost surreal to see someone else making the same arguments that I make. It would be nice to have more people doing it, so I don't have to explain to someone why Firefox is not free software for the billionth time, and how the FSF's four freedoms are not a complete list of all freedoms you can have in software.
Stupid people have to turn everything into a dogma. It's just four of more than four, and if those were the only ones, the concept of free software would be meaningless, it would basically just be open source, like Chromium and Firefox and all the other bloated open soyce spyware out there.
People have actually told me that free software doesn't have to respect your privacy because privacy is not one of the four freedoms. Absolutely retarded. If privacy doesn't matter in free software, then why is 90% of what Richard Stallman talks about in his speeches about privacy? Why did he say that he would not carry a phone EVEN IF it was fully free, because it would still track him?
It gets so tiring, constantly dealing with dumb motherfuckers.
