That article just confuses me. It says it is ok and then contradicts it a paragraph later. Eg: "Digital nomads – people working remotely or running online businesses – in Thailand can legally work there on tourist visas" But one p

It is not clear that RMS is driven by ego. He's motivated by a very clear goal to keep free software free. Free as in freedom free. As for ESR, well, yup, that's an ego that is sufficient in size to have a gravitational pull. htt

"author is annoyingly in love with himself" I don't get that at all. The paragraph you quoted strikes me as descriptive, perhaps it could be called flowery, but I don't see the stabbing phrases associated with narcissism

Not sure why the author seems to insinuate that the problems he/she has described are somehow specific to India. We had a disaster when we outsourced a large piece of design work to Denmark. We found out that the outsourcer in Denmark
