Anarchy, Leadership and NVDA

March 17, 2015 by Chris Hofstader 13 Comments

Introduction When I first met Richard Stallman, he described his philosophy as “information anarchism” and explained his vision for a future of free software in which individuals and corporations voluntarily donate money to support the programmers bringing them free, libre and open source technologies.

Reintroduction Most of this article appeared first on this blog yesterday (10/14/14) under the title, “Apple: The Company I Hate To Love.” A number of our most loyal readers asked that I split that story up and start, as I did for Android, a series on the problems I perceive surrounding Apple and accessibility these… Read more about Apple: The Company I Hate To Love, Part 2: Where’s the Competition?
