    When Stallman was saying that smartphones would become a spying device, people were calling him crazy.

    I am still thinking he’s a bit on the crazy spectrum, but that some food for thought…

      Stallman is often batshit insane, but when it comes to tech he knows what he’s saying.

      I would trust a doctor when he says about something about my stomach, I wouldn’t trust them about astrophysics.

      I would trust Stallman about how computers can be misused and mistreated, same as Cory Doctorow. I wouldn’t trust both about a small part of history, unless it was obvious or very well cited.
