We made him a picture for his birthday one year. I refuse to work on another for him until GNU HURD is production quality, though. Lazy old parrotfucker.

>>883588

Daily reminder that Hurd is not a priority project given that GNU Linux-Libre is a real thing.

just stick to Genode OS for your autistic microkernel needs

that's almost 70 with his impressive physical fitness level who is going to replace him to save GNU

If anyone is gonna email RMS get a birdlover.com for the luls

get that shit on mail.com

Free software does not have anything to do with communism.

>>883583 (OP)

May he lives another 65 to kick proprietary bitches ass...happy birthday GNU/Stallman

h-happy birthday RMS

Anyone have a pic of him when he broke his arm in Finland?

What will happen when RMS dies?

>>883679

He will meet thy his God

>>883583 (OP)

happy b-day rms-sama!

>>883679

A lot of people will parrot the line

>I'm not glad he's dead, but I'm glad he's gone.

The free software movement will continue on without him because he is not the free software movement by himself. He is the father who started the movement to teach people about the importance of freedom in computing. There are many people now who deeply understand this message and will continue to preach it long after Stallman is gone.

>>883687

meanwhile linus is going to get immediatly replaced with a CIA plant.

>>883693

I don't really believe that's going to happen. His current Linux lieutenants know who he his and how he would lead the Linux team. They'll most probably act in the future with the same leadership as he acts today.

I thought GuixSD uses Hurd?

>I thought GuixSD uses Hurd?

It can but it's not a priority.

I've left guix since they introduced a coc (in guile) a few months ago.

>>883795

I was unable to find anything about guile having a CoC. Can you please share some links about it?

>>883799

Sorry I meant guix

https://lists.gnu.org/archive/cgi-bin/namazu.cgi?query=code+of+conduct&submit=Search%21&idxname=guix-devel&max=20&result=normal&sort=score

The CoC is a derivative from the Contributor Covenant aka the most vile of coc in existence.

The guile community is a lot related to guix tho.

>>883776

RMS is an atheist.

>>883776

Please know your subject before saying tings like that RMS impeached god a long time ago and is a atheist.

>>883641

Of course it doesn't. Neither does it has anything to do with ayncrap or nutsac cringe.

==cringe== is a overused word nowadays that is more or less meaningless.

>>883641

I was just refering to RMS's political alignment being with the greens and that it is fairly close to commie libsoc ideology than any other. Nothing about free software.

>>883583 (OP)

RIP in piece ;_;

good night sweet prince

>>883896

>refuse to use any closed software

he also refuses to use any source-available software that's non-free.

>>883896

I don't use any nonfree software on my desktop. Over spring break I will be setting up my laptop to run on only free software.

I guess one day I'll have to smash my phone with a sledgehammer and then I'll be fully liberated.

Ignoring the operating system I do not run any nonfree software on my phone

>>883896

>How many people you know who refuse to use any closed software? rms is the only person who lives like he preaches. I use GNAA/loonix daily but still use closed source software for vidya and phone. Most people will compromise, rms never will.

I know several people on the Trisquel and Debian forums, plus some FSF guys who only use FOSS.

Personally I use only FOSS (even libreboot) on my desktop and laptops. The only exception being a PDP-8 and some 80s/90s PCs with proprietary BIOSes, but I differ from Stallman in that I can tolerate proprietary firmware if it's pre-botnet.

>>883896

>How many people you know who refuse to use any closed software? rms is the only person who lives like he preaches

rms uses non-free software all the time. In ATMs, in the avionics for the jets he flies in, in the cars he drives or rides in. He even uses other people's phones and computers that run proprietary software. He realizes this, of course, and even addressed it (rationalized it away, I'd say) on his website.

It's important to realize that Richard does whatever he wants, and he is a really smart guy. If he wants to do something, he'll do it, and he'll find a way to rationalize it. For example, he likes to save money by using those savings cards that they have at grocery stores. But he doesn't like being tracked by using them, so he refuses to get one. He has no problem using other people's savings cards, though. If you asked him about it, he'd come up with some rationalization about how it's actually fighting the system, because his use of the card messes with their tracking the card's owner, even though their systems are obviously sophisticated enough to disregard his anomalous use.

The free software movement was never about you, or me, or anyone but rms. It was about recruiting people to create software for him so he'd never run into software that he couldn't modify again, like that printer driver in the 1970s that started his obsession. In spite of his severe autism, he realized that "write software for me for free" was not going to convince a lot of people, so he created GNU, the GPL, and the FSF in order to achieve his personal desires. The fact that other people have also benefited is just a side effect.

>>883953

It's funny, in old age he has an aura of respectability. When you see him as a young man like that, you're more inclined to write him off.

>>883954

>He even uses other people's phones and computers that run proprietary software

No, he doesn't.

>>883959

>I firmly refuse to install non-free software or tolerate its installed presence on my computer or on computers set up for me.

>However, if I am visiting somewhere and the machines available nearby happen to contain non-free software, through no doing of mine, I don't refuse to touch them. I will use them briefly for tasks such as browsing.

>When I need to call someone, I ask someone nearby to let me make a call. If I use someone else's cell phone, that doesn't give Big Brother any information about me.

>>883992

There are no good Jews.

Just take a look at his political opinions outside of technology.

>>884000

I think his autism defends us from jewing the FSF. If instead of him it was some non-autist in charge with and just as lefty he'd turn the FSF into Mozilla and bleed money into niggerfication projects.

>>883912

> I can tolerate proprietary firmware if it's pre-botnet.

I think it's a bad argument.

>>883687

>The free software movement will continue on without him because he is not the free software movement by himself.

I agree with that but I'm concerned about some of the FSF members RMS has always been the voice of the movement, see for example what happened with Francis Rowe, discussions stopped after RMS posted on the email list.

So I agree that RMS is not the free software movement but A LOT of people just follow him without thinking and that's not good for the movement so I'm worried about how it's going to shape itself afterwords when I see the "social justice" people in it and around it I'm not enthusiastic.

Happy birthday Richard.

RMS is fanatic who doesnt understand cohesion in operating systems

https://libreplanet.org/2018/live/

how would I join the realtime online shitposting?

like, sending questions, etc.

>>883954

Stallman's freedom is only relevant to the machines that he owns. My freedom is only relevant to the machines I own. If I go to bank and operate their ATM, their use of Windows has no effect on my freedom or my computing. If I fly in a jet and find that their in-flight entertainment system relies on Netflix, I don't actually own the jet so running Netflix has no effect of my freedom. If I borrow a friend's credit card, I am not being tracked under my name when I use it, it generates activity under my friend's name.

The free software movement has always been all about the users of the computers they own and the software they choose to install on their own computers. What other people choose for their own selves normally does not affect my freedom.

>>884066

Can't even go on it via tor.

>>884081

really?

why?

>>884061

What is cohesion in operating systems? If you say the Unix philosophy, your opinion is invalid.

>>884082

idk I suppose that it uses some function that tor deactivates for security reasons.

I'm getting:

>>884026

BSD fags can't comprehend that someone might want to help the community at large. They all think they're going to be the ones taking advantage of free code, but it is always they who get cucked in the end. Truly a metaphor for America, where even the poor believe themselves to be temporarily embarrassed millionaires.

Libreboot dev blamed GNU for fireing some tranny because being tranny and left GNU

>>883896

does he use a coffee maker? tv? fly in a plane? ride in modern cars? he is using proprietary software if he does.

>>891008

Those are not computers, anon.

>>891019

That's convenient for him.

>>891022

HAHA!

>>891008

t. BSD cuck

>coffee maker? tv? car?

Not updateable or even network and can therefore be treated like fixed function hardware. Maybe not the modern botnet TVs, but RMS does not buy that obviously.

>fly in a plane?

He does not own a plane, that air transport companies give themselves to proprietors is their problem.

He benefits from proprietary software, and you apologists are trying to fumble your words into believing that he isn't as fouled and corrupted as the claims he makes against proprietary software.

When it's convenient for him to use proprietary software, oh that's fine, but when he can make a penny or a dime off of forcing morons to follow his every beck and call, then they surely will put themselves into hardships and inconvenience for his convenience of making use inferior software because it's """"""free"""""".

>>891027

Stallman's GNU movement didn't start because of networked computers and software. He started it because he couldn't """"""access"""""" the source anymore legally. Coffee makers, tv's, cars, planes all have computers in them running proprietary software. He benefits from proprietary software.

>>891035

Well, he is a jew, he can't help himself.

It is in his nature.

>>891027

It's not like buying any of those items without getting a needlessly computerized version is hard, since stuff without it is still readily available for the most part.

>>891050

hey dude, does Stallman use electricity? He benefits from proprietary software.

>>891051

No, he has a volt tree in his backyard.

>>891035

Free software can give convenience too as long he was given a choice to use a machine that runs on free software.

>>891051

No, he is harmed by it, like the vast of humanity that does not "own" major parts of the "intellectual property" in use. You are painting a false dichotomy of proprietary software vs no software, while the real alternative is free software. Saying that without proprietary there would be no software is just fear mongering by the corporate leeches extracting rent from the masses.

Also, your entire "argument" was just an ad hominem, don't think we didn't notice.

>>891058

Sarcasm is the wit of the idiot.

>>891073

The dude benefits from industrial society. Industrial society runs on proprietary software. He benefits from proprietary software.

>>891091

He benefits from proprietary software. Your argument is his argument, and his argument is that all consumer software must be free software and free software must be his software. Industrial and embedded softwares don't need to be proprietary because it doesn't fit his narrative so it doesn't fit your narrative. He benefits from proprietary software daily, continuously.

>>891051

Stallman's freedom is only relevant for the things that he owns. If he doesn't own any electrical generation plant, the electrical plant owner's use of proprietary software doesn't affect Stallman's freedom.

>>891101

My freedom is only relevant for the machines that I own. If I go down to the bank of which I am a customer, my operation of the bank ATM which uses Windows Embedded does not affect my freedom for I do not own the bank ATM.

>>891167

He benefits from proprietary software.

>>891169

When you benefit from proprietary software, then it's a-okay. Got it.

>>891186

I benefit from Chinese indentured slavery as well, does this imply that I support the principal of slavery even though I own no slaves?

>>891187

>derailing the argument

The dude uses proprietary software and benefits from it. He uses it by choice. He chooses to fly on planes that run on proprietary software. He chooses to ride in cars with GPS navs, computer controlled fuel injection and ignition, all running on proprietary software. He chooses to use centralized power source instead of running his own generator. He benefits from proprietary software.

>>891191

No he doesn't. Stallman is not responsible for what other people do with their business. Stallman is only responsible for what he does with his own business. The fact that he is serviced indirectly by proprietary software has no effect on him or his freedom, so whether he benefits or not has zero meaning.

>>891194

Bull. His participation and within these systems of proprietary software are as much a condition of support as using the software directly and tangibly.

Why is it so necessary to abandon all proprietary consumer software but not industrial and embedded proprietary softwares? If he believed in free software, he would put that inconvenience of a free-software-only-lifestyle on himself instead of subjugating that requirement on the rest of the world's computer consumers.

He can choose different methods of travel. He can buy used and hand-made goods locally. He can do many things that don't support proprietary software yet he doesn't, and he still has the gall to insist and demand everyone else become inconvenienced so he can be secured in his lifestyle.

There are metric fuck tons of bacteria on your skin. Staphylococcus aureus is not just ubiquitous, it is also highly virulent, possessing numerous invasive mechanisms and drug immunity factors that make it resistant to shitload of drugs; it is basically just waiting for an opening through which to enter. Starts as cellulitis or folliculitis, becomes furunculus, then carbunculus then causes a septic shock. That's just your skin though; it's literally indescribable how dirty people's mouths are, its amazing how they kiss each other on the mouths, suck each other's tongues or rim each other's assholes. There's Candida albicans all over your gastrointestinal tract, and the only reason it doesn't fester and eat your faggot ass up, like the radially-spreading substrate-consuming pseudo-hyphaed fungus it is, is there are lots more organisms in there competing with it for nutrients as well as the immune system keeping it in check, and it's very much "check" and never "check mate" -- these things are never ever fully eliminated. Not only that, these fucking hellish things are fucking eukaryotes, the exact same type of cell as us, implying a vastly reduced pharmacological arsenal when compared to bacteria.

But yeah, go ahead a eat the fucking foot fungus. First time I saw a monstrous fungus grow so much it looked like it'd break the petri dish, I don't know, I think I wanted to eat it as well. Strange urge.

>>891198

>demand everyone else become inconvenienced

<implying having to use said proprietary software is not an inconvenient in itself.

I'd be more than glad to do without Office, Skype, etc. and use libre alternatives instead, but vendor lock-in and software kikery is too deeply rooted to allow for that.

>>883583 (OP)

Happy belated birthday you fat commie fuck.

I've been thinking about RMS and here's the fundamental question:

Why does he have to be such an archetypical faggot? The bird, the flute, his list of dietary preferences, the foot cheese eating *DURING A SPEECH* and the endless speeches in Cuba and Venezuela and of course the defenses of pedophilia.

I mean the guy has claimed that by having a parrot rub its cloaca on him that it counted as sex and it was worthy of expelling this weirdism to the world. He's the archetype of the weird nerdy faggot, shit he takes it to a level that would be difficult to parody except with an Andy Kaufman type lifestyle commitment.

It's awful. ESR is a bizarre dude and he's pro "Open Source" but he's a damn sight less weird than RMS.

The guy is re

>>891198

Once again, Stallman is not responsible for the business that other people choose for themselves. Stallman imposes only free software for himself, he doesn't mandate this for anybody. What he actually does is convince other people that choosing to accept proprietary software is harmful to their own freedom. He will not stop them from making this choice because he is not responsible for their choices! The fact that his bank uses Windows on their ATM does not affect Stallman freedom. You on the other hand says the opposite effect occurs. I assert that if President Trump decides to lend his Apple iPhone to Stallman to make a call, Stallman's freedom is not harmed because Stallman doesn't own the phone.

>>891258

>Stallman's freedom is not harmed because Stallman doesn't own the phone.

How convenient for him; don't you think? He can use proprietary software all he wants, but forbid and curse anyone else if they don't use GNU-brand software. Get off of it. He chooses to use proprietary software. He benefits from proprietary software.
