Making sense

Making sense

In reply to: Insanity: the Stallman trap by mheily
Parent article: Stallman: the JavaScript trap

The article makes several proposals; a “web browser that only loads "free" JavaScript” does not seem to be one of them.

Also, note that the proposals don't require cooperation from “millions of web developers”, at least no more than the Free Software we use today requires the cooperation of proprietary software developers.

It makes sense to be able to modify software that we run; I don't think anyone here doubts that. The article proposes a feasible means of modifying the software that we run. So it seems strange to me for you to suggest that it makes no sense.

Please refrain from sarcasm: it may get a laugh, but it tends to discourage constructive discussion that actually helps us.
