Net positive to the world by a lot.
His fight for software freedom was essential for shaping technology in the last couple of decades. Basically any software today is based on open source directly or indirectly.
Don't listen to him about child psychology though
Pointless hasn't been the same since he left. Xander looks so lonely
For those who don't know much about him, I recommend watching the movie Revolution OS. It does a good job showing what he was working towards.
You have to separate:
The first two are already quite ghastly. The final one just solidifies my opinion.
I just woke up, so I started wondering who is Stallman the photographer?
Smart guy. Not a good person. Don't idolize people
sad to see that he thinks like that about rape and the whole Epstein thing :(
Honestly it comes across to me not as him defending rapists, but actually just genuinely not understanding how rape works. The guy somehow understands people less than I do, and that's saying something.
We're talking about the creator of Emacs. Do you think that guy leaves his house.
He's a cutie <3 <3 <3 https://rms.sexy/
I love how in every photo rms has his laptop on his hand.
Imagine how many delights and horrors that Thinkpad has witnessed.
Why does what I think matter to anyone ? I follow him on Mastodon and agree with most of his comments.
Don't think I've ever agreed with anyone all the time though.
I've watched one YouTube video of a talk he did and thought he was an odd duck with a lot of good ideas.
What stuck with me the most was "use free software, and be ready for it to lack convenience".
I'm sorry if struggling (if that's the right word) with that right now, because I'm interested in switching to OsmAnd instead of Google maps for navigation, but there's no traffic or road closure info. There's also no Android Auto option, as far as I'm aware.
His comments about women are inexcusable, but the fact he convinced Linus to adopt GPL is paying dividends to billions of people globally, and most of us don't know it.
I don't know who that is.
based honestly
Lol the OP is literally GNU?
I prefer to call it Linux, not GNU/Linux.
RMS is a weirdo but generally a well meaning one, and many of his points are being proven correct. I'd rather have him around than not
I've been going with LiGNUx. The G is silent.
I think he may have been right.
I like the memes, but I don't know a lot about the person.
Nice, try RMS, I mean gnu
