Gameboy has a proprietary bootloader that contains code requiring copyrighted headers on software in order to run unofficial code. It was very freedom-lacking. Why is rms on the gameboy?

Wait a second, isn't that proprietary?

raspberry pi requires you to install proprietary software in order to take full advantage of the graphics hardware
Mason Rodriguez
The raspberry pi requires proprietary display drivers, and a few other proprietary kernel modules. Why would rms be on a raspy gameboy?

What does RMS think about systemd?

There are a lot of fakes around. This one for example. RMS is using emacs and follows strict oldschool formatting (80 character limit).
Alexander Johnson
For comparsion a real one (uniform-spacing, line width limit).

i saw someone on Sup Forums insist that a handful of honorary doctorates equate to a real one, as if JK Rowling's 7 doctorates should earn her almost as much esteem as a real doctorate. except in this context of course they were arguing that RMS's 12 should have additive credibility somehow.
it was the most obvious case of appeal to bandwagon that one could imagine; it was such clearly horse shit-eating apologist logic; i loved it.
maybe you're special and above all that stupid shit, but the people in these threads defending stallman are 90% retards trying to scrape together credibility and prop up the bogus practice of honorary degrees against all reason.
and, as an aside, this is why it's healthy to take shots at your own camp when idiots show up making specious arguments that agree with you - because if they're allowed to persist then the whole camp gets weaker as they parrot that specious argument. my loyalty is to the free software movement, and i'm happy to cast out RMS if he's stopped being beneficial and has only become a liability to the cause. at this point i would argue that he has done more harm than good for FSF in the past 15 years:
- GPLv3 drove a wedge in the open source community that was neither necessary nor helpful (copyleft in general has alienated industry developers who might have otherwise been allowed to dabble with open source licenses except that now legal is worried about what they call "viral licensing" terms - a bogeyman made real by GPLv3)
- RMS has been a lightning rod of controversy involving outbursts, meltdowns, and inappropriate comments; his public perception has been more negative than positive by a wide margin.
- the general perception about honorary degrees is that they're not real, and even somewhat arrogant people know not to call themselves "doctor" because of it; it's self-aggrandizing on a shaky platform. and yet, RMS happily uses the title like he earned it the way PhDs have earned it.

Linux is already ruined, instead of working on free drivers, they just drop binaries in the source code and turn Linux into nonfree software.

Really? Can't you just install any OS custom-made for the Pi? Either way, I don't give a shit, and RMS' definition of "free" is retarded.

who is the neckbeard in the video who talks about ruining a painting? just wondering because i think his point is valid too so im torn

Not sure, but I think it's from the documentary Hackers: Wizards of the Electronic Age.
My counterargument is: if you buy a painting, it is a physical object that you own. You can lend it to a friend, you can give it away, you can sell it. You're not allowed to make copies of it, because the artist has the exclusive right to do that (the copyright), but you can do almost anything else. You can even spray paint it if you want. The artist might not like it, but you're allowed, the painting's yours.
Also, though this wasn't talked about much in the 1980s, the painting doesn't have any intentionally designed mechanisms to physically prevent you from doing any of these things.

I think Linyos Torvoltos would win since he's more aggressive and stronger.
Benjamin Cruz
His argument is invalid because he implies that there can only be one painting. Free software is more like making a copy of that painting and then making changes to your copy.
