We're introducing something called the heavens and the earth. Our engineers have created an earth with separate light and darkness. And we call it day and night. We also added a vault between the waters to separate water from water called “sky.” We made the water be gathered to one place, and let dry ground called "land" appear. It has vegetation: seed-bearing plants and trees on the land that bear fruit with seed in it, according to their various kinds. There's lights in the vault of the sky to separate the day from the night. It turns out that they actually serve as signs to mark sacred times and days and years. We also managed to make the water teem with living creatures and let birds fly above the earth across the vault of the sky.

https://www.oreilly.com/openbook/freedom/ch03.html During her son's junior year, Lippman [Richard Stallman's mom] says she scheduled an appointment with a therapist. The therapist expressed instant concern over Stallman's unwillingness to write papers and his run-ins with teachers. Her son certainly had the intellectual wherewithal to succeed at Harvard, but did he have the patience to sit through college classes that required a term paper? The therapist suggested a trial run. If Stallman could make it through a full year in New York City public schools, including an English class that required term papers, he could probably make it at Harvard. Following the completion of his junior year, Stallman promptly enrolled in summer school at Louis D. Brandeis High School, a public school located on 84th Street, and began making up the mandatory art classes he had shunned earlier in his high-school career. By fall, Stallman was back within the mainstream population of New York City high-school students. It wasn't easy sitting through classes that seemed remedial in comparison with his Saturday studies at Columbia, but Lippman recalls proudly her son's ability to toe the line. "He was forced to kowtow to a certain degree, but he did it," Lippman says. **"I only got called in once, which was a bit of a miracle. It was the calculus teacher complaining that Richard was interrupting his lesson. I asked how he was interrupting. He said Richard was always accusing the teacher of using a false proof. I said, 'Well, is he right?' The teacher said, 'Yeah, but I can't tell that to the class. They wouldn't understand.'"**

Hi everyone, We are aware that you have chosen to close your community at this time. Mods have a right to take a break from moderating, or decide that you don’t want to be a mod anymore. But active communities are relied upon by thousands or even millions of users, and we have a duty to keep these spaces active. Subreddits belong to the community of users who come to them for support and conversation. Moderators are stewards of these spaces and in a position of trust. Redditors rely on these spaces for information, support, entertainment, and connection. Our goal here is to ensure that existing mod teams establish a path forward to make sure your subreddit is available for the community that has made its home here. If you are willing to reopen and maintain the community, please take steps to begin that process. Many communities have chosen to go restricted for a period of time before becoming fully open, to avoid a flood of traffic. If this community remains private, we will reach out soon with information on what next steps will take place.

I’d just like to interject for a moment. What you claim to enjoy, which you’re referring to as a cake, is in fact, the taste of a cake, or as I’ve recently taken to calling it, cake taste. Cake taste is not a cake unto itself, but rather another component of a full cake experience made complete by the weight gain, increased blood glucose, and dental effects, comprising a full junk food as defined by Wikipedia. There really is a cake, and these people are using it, but it is not what they enjoy. Cake taste is the lie: the part of the system that makes you perceive the overall cake as good. The taste is an essential part of a junk food, but not edible by itself.

Naturally, sharing knowledge and inventions is a good act of love. This action is often made incomplete and warped by not sharing source code. As a result, the programmer gains power and/or wealth at the expense of the users' freedom and convenience. When I learned about ethical issues related to sex, it reminded me of pooprietary software. [Humanae Vitae (July 25, 1968) | Paul VI](https://www.vatican.va/content/paul-vi/en/encyclicals/documents/hf_p-vi_enc_25071968_humanae-vitae.html) > [Married love] is a love which is total—that very special form of personal friendship in which husband and wife generously share everything, allowing no unreasonable exceptions and **not thinking solely of their own convenience**. Whoever really loves his partner loves not only for what he receives, but loves that partner for the partner's own sake, content to be able to enrich the other with the gift of himself. > And if each of these essential qualities, the unitive and the procreative, is preserved, the use of marriage fully retains its sense of true mutual love... > Hence to use this divine gift while depriving it, even if only partially, of its meaning and purpose, is equally repugnant to the nature of man and of woman... The 2 parts of sex (unitive and procreative) are analogous to the 4 freedoms that cause a program to be libre: as a user, your dignity is fully respected only when you get all 4 freedoms. When a software developer takes away all freedoms except for the freedom to run the program, it interferes with important parts of human nature: our community and our pursuit of better tools that do what we want. > ...the fundamental nature of the marriage act ... also renders them capable of generating new life—and this as a result of laws written into the actual nature of man and of woman. The distribution of libre software makes derived works (just like "new life") possible Edit: There's another issue with fornication (sex but with no full commitment): it's somewhat dishonest because sex expresses a full gift and commitment of one's self. This type of issue is present in a much more extreme way in pooprietary software, especially when DRM and backdoors are involved.
