I am an experienced Linux user, and just between you and me, I am not using the Search Feature in Ubuntu - I have no need for it. I use Google to get spied on instead.

No matter what anyone thinks of him, he is making a massive contribution to public awareness on a vast and detailed level. It took me all of these years to really get it and only because I have taken the time to listen, learn and dig into this area of our daily lives. Thank God for him and others who are with him.

[kennedn]

It's worth noting the search feature Richard is speaking about has been removed since Ubuntu 16.04, presumably after significant community backlash.

Thank you Stallman for fighting to keep our eyes open and our minds free for decades now!

Most of the people here criticizing Richard Stallman weren't even born when he started the free software movement. At that time, no software was free. Operating systems were proprietary closed-source owned by either large corporations or the government. So it's pretty hard for them to imagine a world where they couldn't go out and download free OS's or applications. But Stallman grew up in that world. Therefore, it's hard for the critics here to even understand where he's coming from. It's hard for them to empathize with someone who sees trends threatening to erode the world we live in now, which he fought for but the critics here didn't fight for.

Although I find myself disagreeing with Mr Stallman more often than not, I cannot deny the positive impact his work has had on my life.

Microsoft: "Yeah not good at all, all that spyware." [sweats profusely]

[impolitedirector]

I have nothing but respect for this man, he has made huge contributions to the FOSS world.

[random]

He said "GNU+Linux" in the first 30 seconds, I'm not disappointed

[lucidumluxbrightlight]

This man is a real revolutionary, such a philanthropist, a true hero that fights, without any need, for everybody's freedom. Thank you Mr Stallman for your existence and tenacious guindance, thank you for teaching us firmly resist against oppresors like bloody Microsoft and other thieves.

[YeeRattakornY]

I have never known he was such so much care about the users, very impressive. Thanks for everything you have done.

The 'Amazon' filter was part of the Unity desktop, since that was removed for gnome3, and the other Ubuntu varients that use XFCE, LXQT and KDE, they no longer have this installed.

My first distro, like many, was ubuntu and now I'm learning to use Arch Linux. Their wiki is fairly comprehensive.

[vaughnkenny]

Richard Stallman is a revolutionary individual with an unbelievable insight. Without his influence in the modern computing world we would be on a very different plane of technology. We should all take his advice as a fundamental truth and as a working path we should all follow. There should be many more like Richard Stallman and we should all count ourselves as fortunate for his willingness to bring light to an otherwise dark and increasingly corrupt world.

[arnaudsm]

Stallman was right, Canonical got even worse since. Snap, motd, Ubuntu pro making security patches paid..
I'm switching distros

[jamallmahmoudi]

The world is become beautiful with people like Stallman and so on.
Unfortunately, this new generation has not yet realized the greatness of the free software movement.

[k.c.sunshine]

I appreciate Richard's policy to support free and secure internet without forcing others to "eat crow."

[learnshare]

The meaning is... he is talking the truth!

[Glace]

PC Jesus here flippin tables, aid, "Get that spyware crap out of my church."

[homeontherange]

Thank you Richard Stallman for your GNU for without there would be no linux.
Thanks to Linus Torvalds for Linux.
