Thread: Why don't *some* Mac people "get" free software & GNU/Linux?. Frustrating!


just been talking on macrumors macheads (i 1 too... gradually moving away - sick of non-free systems!) , sheer level of ignorance toward *except* macs , proprietary solutions, both overwhelming , laughable!.

guy took @ fsf website, , commented:

"sorry, website pile of crap" <----- (an actual pile of crap, between quotes )

why dependant on being spoon-fed solutions on have no apparent control?. okay, we're not *all* geeks , programmers, have choices, , majority of *know* these corporations greedy , selfish on whole (and evil... sometimes, is), how many admit it?.

ugh - more see of closed-mindedness, more want move further away mac "community" (?) once blindly defended, no matter what. can see mac *just* computer, software sits upon it, better off being liberated , shared.

mac users have reputation of belonging nose-thumbing "elite club" - starting see evidence of snobbery, when mention free software & gnu/linux. record, have been 98% mac 3 years now, fast becoming fed gimmicky gadgets , widgets bring out, , bleed dry, for. macs have great value, , won't dispute that, sick of whole ridiculous snobbery afflicted upon not using mac - makes me sick.
