This guy is correct about a few things...partially...for all the wrong reasons and the wrong vision and understanding to boot. I'm not talking to him cuz IDGAF about him one bit. I can't fix xucking stupid.
I mean to address your misunderstanding of ownership. Technically you're right. In that the object is in your possession and right to do as you will with, if you can. It is NOT, however, your computer unless you're executing strictly FOSS and FOSH to boot. Even the latter is shy a hair inside the Librem 5 which so still suffering proper development and gorramn expensive. With zero financial support in its acquisition.
I've got a CalyxOS on a P4XL and strict enough to use PW only and just occasionally give my Librem 5 a go just to see it's functionality but gotta say, I expect nothing despite having zero regret investing it before it's production.
Go FOSS or go to hell, literally. Disregard all religious references. This planet will become hell in very little time unless we use FOSS to take control of every fucking digital thing. Period.
'You don't get it, you need the control you're demanding.'
Are you familiar with the term, violent agreement?
We might be such but he ain't. He has no personal disposition against the theocracy of closed source software antipologetics. He simply lacks respect to anyone who isn't a gorramn xucking nerd.
Getting jackasses to recognize "you own your computer," on a purely physical level, is step one.
Even Stallman didn't start railing against closed source until he got sassed by a printer.
