>>10I think the real stockholm syndrome is being a skype user subject to forced and damaging upgrades, or having adverts on one's desktop, or not being able to copy and play media to appropriate devices because of DRM.
I do not recognise many of the issues listed there. It is true that the Free software community does not entirely meet modern needs, but generally the stability of software is as good as the packages one chooses and normally are not made to be forced upgraded, and Free software is broadly exempt from a class of security issues - intentional and persisted backdoors by developers.
But in any case, as per my initial point, these are problems to be worked through. Users are informed of defects, many other kinds of security issues are manage by the community, and the wide adoption of Free operating systems is an ongoing effort.
Free software community is not ashamed of our flaws, because we're always trying to resolve and improve them. What's worse is arrogance and damaging denial.
