Somebody is trying to kill all the kernel developers.

One's got to change the system, or one changes nothing.

I want to prove that the system is not working. . . . . You can’t simply say that the system is not working. You have to work through it

It is unfortunate that he still has nonfree software in his computer. He needs to defenestrate it (which means, either throw Windows out of the computer or throw the computer out of the window).

We need to teach people to refuse to install non-free plug-ins; we need to teach people to care more about their long-term interest of freedom than their immediate desire to view a particular site.

إذا لم يتضمن النظام الوسيلة لضمان تطبيقه فلا بقاء له.

[Netscape will soon reduce Windows to] a poorly debugged set of device drivers.

The Adobe flash plug-in is non-free software, and people should not install it, or suggest installing it, or even tell people it exists.

Defaulting to ur psyche as ur system instead of an objective one makes maintaining the system too much trouble.

IN SETTING UP A NEW SYSTEM, TREAD SOFTLY. YOU MAY BE DISTURBING ANOTHER SYSTEM THAT IS ACTUALLY WORKING

There are many democracies in our Arab and Islamic countries, but unfortunately, they are all false democracies.

There is no point in prioritizing doing your job when your organization faces being defunded in less than three months’ time if you don’t do something else: you do what’s necessary in order to ensure your organization survives, then you get back to work.
(This is how the iron law of bureaucracy installs itself at the heart of an institution. Most of the activities of any bureaucracy are devoted not to the organization’s ostensible goals, but to ensuring that the organization survives: because if they aren’t, the bureaucracy has a life expectancy measured in days before some idiot decision maker decides that if it’s no use to them they can make political hay by destroying it. It’s no consolation that some time later someone will realize that an organization was needed to carry out the original organization’s task, so a replacement is created: you still lost your job and the task went undone. The only sure way forward is to build an agency that looks to its own survival before it looks to its mission statement. Just another example of evolution in action.)

Once there was a certain man who was very clever, but it was his character to always see the negative points of his jobs. In such a way, one will be useless.

The First Law of Systems-Survival: A SYSTEM THAT IGNORES FEEDBACK HAS ALREADY BEGUN THE PROCESS OF TERMINAL INSTABILITY.

Popular congresses are the only means to achieve popular democracy. Any system of government other than popular congresses is undemocratic.
