Is /g/ going to get one? Java script sure has come a long way. Mozilla is making a pdf viewer and a mobile OS from java script.

My lemote? Yeah that definitely doesn't my freedom, rite?

I don't care about a websites source code. As long it's not installed on any of my devices.
>The heater in your home
My fireplace?
>The lamp you use. The light bulb.
I use an oil lamp.

I use a bicycle. Which I built myself, mind you.

That doesn't make any sense.

The JavaScript of any website is installed on your machine.
>I use an oil lamp.
Is the design open and free? Are the materials open and free?

>I use a bicycle. Which I built myself, mind you.
Did you smelt the iron that made the bicycle? If not, was the smelting process open and free? Or was it a closed, proprietary process?

>The material you walk on
>That doesn't make any sense.
See above.

>>24063112
In our post-industrial mass production world, almost everything has to with software. When somebody uses proprietary code to produce a product, my inability to access that code means I can't make the same product on my own. That's a software freedom issue.

Anonymous 04/07/12(Sat)20:55 No.24063167

>>24063070
Yes it does. I can do whatever I want with those things. I can modify them to suit my needs, and I can sell it to someone else if I ever get tired of it.
>>24063113
>The JavaScript of any website is installed on your machine
I disable javascript.
>Is the design open and free? Are the materials open and free
Yes. It was built by a dear friend of mine, who taught me to make my own if I ever felt the need to.
>Did you smelt the iron that made the bicycle? If not, was the smelting process open and free? Or was it a closed, proprietary process?
Now you're just being silly.

No it isn't. Again, you're conflating several different issues.

>>24063137

Free software is defined by the FSF, so it's integral to heed the FSF on this issue. It's stupid for people to come up with their own definitions and applying them to arguments as it only creates confusion.
