“Freedom in the computer starts with the ‘software’ free ‘- La Rioja

No one would say, but before speaking in public and being photographed, Richard M. Stallman mane combs flirtatiously. Do not have a mobile, which he considers “the dream of Stalin, an apparatus for monitoring and control.” Read a newspaper ‘The Guardian’ and allows the ‘selfies’ with their fans but please do not post pics on Facebook or Instagram. Founder of the movement of ‘software’ free in 1983 and GNU developer, Stallman operating system, US 61, yesterday filled the auditorium of the City of Logroño to impart the conference ‘For a free digital society’, organized by the University of sponsored by Knet Rioja Rioja and Informatics.

Why Facebook has defined as “pure hell”?

It is an engine spy people. Facebook spying on its users.

“Having a small computer with many capabilities would be useful without ‘software’ proprietary ‘

But people are free to use or not this social network, it is not mandatory.

The companies generally, in many fields, develop addictive technology. For example, in food, with more sugar or salt and unhealthy, kills many people.

There will own but paradoxically has some own profiles on Facebook …

There is no way around it. I think they have compiled from information published on Wikipedia. I’m not against it because I do not keep secret what I do: I impart conferences, public trials … that these things are in Facebook is not a disaster but I do not want to be there. It is a secondary issue.

Do you see any positive or acceptable social networks?

There are many differences between social networks. For example, using Twitter for public posts is not bad, but if something is private or not to say, the state can read it there. Twitter does much to protect the privacy of its users, I think I could not fight anymore, but it is the state that has the power to look at the data from Twitter. I think that if we say something important, must be encrypted.

About The mobile phone device that also hates, it undeniably has also helped police investigations and locating missing, do not you think?

Above all, have camcorders that ‘by chance’, are now on mobile phones. What helps is to record what the police do to attack people in order to refute his lies. In the US the police have their term for lying in court: ‘testilie’; instead of ‘testify’, because they do so much … Have a small computer with many capabilities would be useful to function without ‘software’ proprietary, but has connection to the telephone network makes it an instrument of oppression. There are tablets that they can function without ‘software’ proprietary, is not sold, but do not have all your peripherals. I do not know if I can use the camera without ‘software’ proprietary.



The Most

Speaking of ‘software’ proprietary as an amoral issue, lack of ethics, but is it not also, and especially , an economic issue?

For me, the ethical question always has priority. If something is unfair, being able to earn money doing so does not justify it. There are many bad and very profitable things, like stealing or selling hazardous food, poor quality. Doing that is wrong. Profitability is not an excuse.

Although identified as such, ‘software’ is not the same as free, is not it?

There are many trends. What we need to do with the confusion of others is to explain the concepts well, so do not get confused.

How conceived his struggle for the ‘software’ free in 1983, when there was no Internet?

There was a predecessor of the Internet, ie, Arpanet. What we had is not the current surveillance. Again 90. No note was taken of each contact and looked each packet sent. If you use a proprietary program does not even have control of what your computer. Freedom in the computer starts with the ‘software’ free. This has not changed. Especially today, with the malevolent features (spy on the user, restrict, backdoors, censorship …). Apple pioneered applications to censor user. It should be illegal.

You seem a counterpoint, the antihero (or hero) against Bill Gates and Steve Jobs. Do you feel it?

More or less, yes.

Why you are not as famous as they are?

Because they have much money to be made known and the ‘spend’ advertising that is capable of making something look good is evil. The vast majority of media articles that talk about a software product does not raise the question of whether the user is in control, if it contains ‘software’ replaceable, if it is free … Every manufacturer has committed very unfair things like Xbox video game console, with a camera that lets you know how many people are at all times. A few years ago someone discovered how to jailbreak the Sony PlayStation 3 and sent him to the police. Then we launched a boycott of Sony. And as for the Wii, Nintendo recently introduced a malevolent update prompting stop working until you accept a new license.

The legend that hangs over you say or traveling by plane or staying in hotels to avoid police spy. Is it true?

Yes I fly. And I stay in hotels when unavoidable, but ask someone to stay home because it is more budget friendly. It is also possible to boil water. I love tea.
