user on redit shows that it's probably a fake:
Every bubble is different. But they all finish same way.

No. I just mean that it won't affect Android as you predict in these comments.
Users don't care about Free Software at all.
In fact, users don't care about software at all as long at it works.
Few days ago I got idea, that one of the most popular app for android is just trojan/spyware. I did some research. I tried to find more info about creators, only to find out that I am probably right. Then I found thread with same idea (about same software), posted many months ago. I read user replies. They just posted things "if you don't like it don't use it" or "do you have windows? microsoft knows all about you". There wasn't a single explaination about the idea that this software is trojan/spyware. People just don't care. They got something for free, so they use it.
There is only a small group of people who really care, some of them are here, on Slashdot. But this is elite, insignificant group of users.
What is your current opinion on Android? Do you consider Android as a "Linux", "Linux type" or "Linux child"? Are you connected somehow with Android development?
After release of GNOME 3 I moved into opposite direction (I was using xfce for many years).
Anyway it's a good thing, because I dislike GNOME/KDE integration of single applications, for instance I use k3b which is only usable dvd burner and it comes from KDE. If xfce will be default then maybe some people realize applications should work everywhere not fit GNOME desktop.
Well.. it also means that after 5 years your photos are not your anymore. So please now image photos you made 5 years ago, they could be used in the anti-diarrhea commercial! Isn't this cool?
Liberal by which definition? American or European? AFAIK liberal in USA means "socialist" while in the rest of the world liberal means someone who likes freedom.
This is bullshit. All you need on desktop today is a web browser. There are web browsers for Linux and they work. You can communicate, watch movies and listen music in your web browser, but you can also use separate applications for communication, music or movies. And everything works on Linux. And you can give configured Linux box to newbie and he or she will just use it.
Maybe you still don't get it, but people are not spending half of their lives playing 3D games. They just use web browser, some kind of communicator and various mutimedia viewers / document editors.
I understand that after 2000 lots of people changed their priorities, Slashdot almost died (Digg is dying now), many companies changed their profile, but in the background you can see that Open Source and Free Software is stronger than ever. Look at mobile phones, where is your Windows now? I also understand that Internet is full of Apple fanatics and (hidden in closet) Microsoft fanatics. But the truth is that Linux on desktop just works. No matter how loud you will cry your frustrations.
