We who present free software as a defense against malware do not say it is a perfect defense. No perfect defense is known. We don't say the community will deter malware without fail. Thus, strictly speaking, the Ubuntu spyware example doesn't mean we have to eat our words.
But there's more at stake here than whether some of us have to eat some words. What's at stake is whether our community can effectively use the argument based on proprietary spyware. If we can only say, "free software won't spy on you, unless it's Ubuntu," that's much less powerful than saying, "free software won't spy on you."
#jd says “We’re over capacity right now. Try again in a few. <3” and I doubt that’s because #Amazon ’s services are down: http://status.aws.amazon.com/?t Also, instagram, heroku, reddit etc don’t work
A couple of days a go, my friend Linn sent me an e-mail, being very frustrated: #Amazon just closed her account and wiped her #Kindle. Without notice. Without explanation. This is #DRM at it’s worst. http://www.bekkelund.net/2012/10/22/outlawed-by-amazon-drm/
