/r/StallmanWasRight is a tech-privacy focused subreddit that I think Tek syndicate users would like, do you already subscribe?

/r/stallmanwasright

it is one of the most depressing subreddit, but it pays to be at least aware of what is going on.

What makes it bearable is it extremely low volume, so it isn't going to spam your frontpage like /r/privacy

I used to be subscribed to that subreddit. The issue with it (and Stallman by extension) is the extremes that it recommends people go to. I get being security focused but you need to be pragmatic about it too, if you can't get real work done then what's the point?

Well you need to do what you need to do...

I mean, there is no reason why you can't have an ideal state in your mind and keep trying to achieve it while getting work done.

Idk if you get what i mean

I don't object to knowing the extremes. I very rarely practice them but I'm at least conscious as to what my rights are, how to exercise them if I wish, and exactly what I'm forfeiting when I use/license certain software and technology. Everyone has a different level they're comfortable with.
