Stallman's Free Software Foundation says we need a free phone OS

Stallman is right, as he usually is, of course.

If you stop to think about how things are at the moment, isn't it just a bit absurd that we have extremely complex devices which do things that we don't know about. We don't have the specifications for their internals, and we don't have access to the software that actually runs on them, except in binary form (if that even).

Bit of magic here, bit of magic there. Bit of unnoticed spying here, and there. Bit of "oh, it's a year old, throw it away" too.

Total lunacy seen from a little distance, without having been brainwashed to think it's all normal!
