@eloquence@social.coop I think you're 100% right but I think that's just part of the problem. The FSF represents a philosophy that is inherently and openly hostile to pragmatism, and quite frankly it isn't helping and never has. Advising user groups to have someone dress as a devil and antagonize people because their hardware has non free graphics hardware is a fine example IMO.

@feoh@cybre.space Yeah, I think there is a lot of value in this question of "how open can the whole stack be" -- and how can we make that happen -- but to lash out against individual users because they use some proprietary driver somewhere is just absurd.

@feoh@cybre.space @eloquence@social.coop ill readily admit that public advocacy for software freedom has a history of being hamfisted, tone deaf, and and ridiculous. I do need clarification on what pragmatism have the staunch libre activists been hostile to?
