  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack members of the community for any reason.

  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
  • These rules are somewhat loosened when the subject is a public figure. Still, do not attack their person or incite harrassment.
    • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
    • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.

    I disagree and I think people who say that aren't very familiar with what he says on his blog. He spent his whole life fighting for justice and freedom, not just in software. He has many interesting opinions on other topics as well and I agree with many of them. For example, I agree that we should reject the term “sexual assault”, because it’s too vague and can mean almost anything, so instead we should use more precise terms. I'm not saying that he is never wrong, though.

    Now if you identify as a Stallman-sexual because you have a toe jam fetish; I’m not going to kink shame you for it.

    I think it's sad that someone uploaded a video of him doing something embarrassing just to make fun of him and other people share it. I wish people didn't behave like that.

    While RMS is a person who loves to argue on semantics; this argument comes from his friend being accused of sexual assault. "Oh my friend was accused of sexual assault... when you think about it what really is sexual assault?" (This is not a direct quote, I'm just making a point.)

    This was during a conference and he was being asked a question. The most you can complain about is it went viral (or that he did this in public).

    I know and he was right. There was no evidence of Minsky assaulting anybody. I don’t think they were friends, though.

    that's one of the reasons why I disagree with people dunking on zuckerberg. they almost always make fun of his appearance.

    it's the ideas that matter, not the appearance.

    You mean that lizard guy ?

    Good point. He makes proprietary software designed to exploit people and everyone should realise that. That's the important issue.
