"We need to rebuild the #commons. When industries are polluting the atmosphere or the oceans, they are, in fact, #privatising the commons ("considering a #common good as their private trash"). When an industry receives millions in #public #subsidies then make a patent, that industry is privatising the common. When Google is putting the Linux kernel in a phone that cannot be modified easily, Google is privatising the common. Why do we need expensive electric cars? Because the #automotive industry has been on a century-long mission to kill public transport or the sole idea of going on foot, to destroy the commons.
We need to defend our commons."
Very, very much on point, @ploum !

@cweickhmann @ploum @SheDrivesMobility keep that selfish sexist moron out of my view. If you want to fix things, he is neither a solution nor a help.
@vgoller The RMS issue is literally the disclaimer of the article, not its content.
There is, rightfully so, a discussion ongoing about the persona of RMS here: https://mamot.fr/@ploum/110570606058221700
The person may be an asshole, but the person is neither the point of the article, nor of my toot above.
@cweickhmann @vgoller @SheDrivesMobility : I’m also collecting first-hand accounts of RMS bad behaviours for the case I write more about it later.
I’m interested at receiving any testimonies at masto@ploum.eu.
Those will be kept confidential (if I write about it, this will be an anonymous generalisation).

Note to anyone reading this toot: Don't feed the "TruthSandwich" troll. It's not worth your time.
