As a computer programmer, thanks for making this interview. Watched it the second time now. One very important topic that was not covered here (or was almost there) was the difference between Open Source and Free Software Movement. I would also like to say that it is very interesting that 90% (anectodically), or at least all the programmers I know does not know or understand the Free Software and is only aware of the concept of Open Source. This maybe one very big and interesting factor that plays on the big picture that historians will point out.

Not only is there "innovation" in free-libre software, a lot of it is so powerful and enabling that it enables proprietary software developers to leap-frog their tech, they often fail to give credit to the free software they use, giving the impression that someone foolish like Lanier can spout. One of the biggest areas is machine learning, just to take one example, you have the entire suite of the R language, C/C++, TensorFlow and Python libraries, hardly anyone working in machine learning is not using these tools, and if they are not compiling code with gcc/g++ they're compiling with some other free-libre compiler. All the major languages are non-proprietary these days. Jaron Lanier is a smart guy, he knows all this, so it's kind of disgusting to learn he has those views.

+Glenn Barres not wanting to alienate or distort your point or idea is not a syndrome... infact what I notice in many people is the sheep flock syndrome (even in those who consider themselves as rebels or black sheeps or whatever) where people belonging to the flock pat each other's back no matter if they have differences in their ideas or don't understand their cause in the same way... as long as they can feel members of a team everything else is just small print and gets ignored with a smile or with silence... now that's a syndrome.. what Stallman does is not a syndrome and it may seem cocky but it's not that either! Since if the other guy does a stupid thing (like make a stupid assumption = not based on what Stallman said or distorting what he said)and he tries to correct it then it's not cocky it's just that he is smarter that the guys he is correcting or more informed about the topic at hand. And this guy Nicola is actually one kinda not bad if you see other interviews by random freelancers they reduce many things into stupidity or distort the message completely... And I personally dislike him as a human being (mainly because of his poor disgusting habits like snorting eating dead skin etc) but that is no ground (if I want to call my self as rational) to ignore or dismiss his very valid on to the point ideas.

I don't quite agree as well. Features, and how they pushto the user with GUI, are abslutely not neutral, in regard of how you may , or may not, use a software. Say I give u 3 features in sa software. Well, as a software designer, I know for a fact, all combinations of those features, or at maybe almost none of them, due to a particular theorem , but those you will find in what we call use cases. For instance, I always start a reverse engineering, with setting up the features list and rise a set of BDD tests, so that I have black-box analysis tool that allows me play with it. Btw, that's how kids learn how something works : by breaking it.

I generally love stallman but he's really wrong with respect to security. He assumes that users always have a conscious choice about every program they run. This might make sense for the top 1% of skilled users, but most users want a machine to work safely, seamlessly, and reliably. The iPhone 'jail' is a great example of this, where signed apps have been a huge security benefit of reducing malware for average users. Most users don't want fine-tuned control, editing configuration scripts, and aren't trained to examine the source.

My take on Stallman's ideology is that I see three, related flaws with it. 1. True Freedom requires the ability to make an informed decision to give it up in exchange for something valuable. Saying that people need to use Free software, even though it's not as good, is an attempt at oppression, whether he realizes it or not. Make the software as good as the proprietary stuff, and then we can talk. 2. You're not really free if you can't do the job you want to do. Take The Gimp (Photomanipulation software). It's no alternative to Photoshop, and last time I checked, you can't even save a file in CMYK, which is required to do professional work. It does a lot of what Photoshop does, in a harder to use, crappier way. Krita covers much of Photoshop's utility for illustration and is a good alternative for that, but there's nothing solid for photomanipulation. 3. You can't expect to achieve the goals of Free software if you don't make things appealing for end users. Give them ways to do what they need to do that are as good or better than the proprietary solutions, and the choice to move to free software is easy. Stallman says "should" a lot. You need to be practical if you want to achieve your goals. Anything less is wishful thinking. A true ideologue would accept that, and make it happen. I'm an open source fan, but I can't go so far as Stallman. We can't deny human nature; freedom is not always worth the inconvenience.

In these cases one has to notice how one very competent party acknowledges the many limitations and sees the world with an inquisitive mind while the other acts like he's so very knowledgeable when, in fact, he is the absolute opposite. I'm sure a more competent, more articulate interviewer could have been found.
