just be careful when thanking him, because after you do he will go on a spiel about thanking him by contributing to gnu

Don't show him your iPhone (or "iJail"). I was at a con with him, and he needed to be physically restrained when he tried to smash one belonging to another panelist.

be careful with the words open and closed, always use libre(free), also don't mention the BSD license

He suckered me into buying a GNU doll...

I met Stallman at a grocery store awhile back. I told him how cool it was to meet him in person, but I didn’t want to be a douche and bother him and ask him for photos or anything.

He said, "Oh, like you’re doing now?"

I was taken aback, and all I could say was "Huh?" but he kept cutting me off and going "huh? huh? huh?" and closing his hand shut in front of my face. I walked away and continued with my shopping, and I heard him chuckle as I walked off. When I came to pay for my stuff up front I saw him trying to walk out the doors with like fifteen peppers in his hands without paying.

The girl at the counter was very nice about it and professional, and was like “Sir, you need to pay for those first.” At first he kept pretending to be tired and not hear her, but eventually turned back around and brought them to the counter.

When she took one of the peppers and started scanning it multiple times, he stopped her and told her to scan them each individually "to prevent any electrical infetterence from non-free software," and then turned around and winked at me. I don’t even think that’s a word. After she scanned each pepper and put them in a bag and started to say the price, he kept interrupting her by talking about GNU/Linux really loudly.

Ask him to speak Spanish in the middle of the speak, this breaks the Stallman

I haven't seen this pasta in a while

...

ask him to switch languages in the middle of his presentation, he loves it

he smells like garlic and onions

Does he get tired of always being right and always being marginalized and ignored?

Or does it offer a sense of satisfaction that he is the lone voice standing against the tide of commoditized personal information?

Sent him a "thank you" / happy birthday letter, got this. Not mad, just kinda let down.

I contribute to GNU wherever I can.

Ask him about his toe fungus

ask for a toe jam

Ask him why he's a socialist if the security of the Linux kernel revolves around a conservative model.

It's his legacy. His purpose. Keep the rebellion alive.

He doesn't support Linux.

Ask him to present in another language

>Have any of you ever met him? What's it like? Anything to ask?
He was at my uni earlier this year, but I didn't speak to him personally. Ask him a question he doesn't know stuff about, for example "what do you think about open hardware". He will get fucking angry and scream at you. Oh and selfies.

act him why he is such a sociopath

>Oh and selfies.
does this mean he likes them or hates them?

Ask him for a tutorial to install Gentoo because I am fucking lost man.

He is loud as absolute fuck when he's even remotely agitated.

Ask him when he's going to release that source code bloating up his belly.

Ask him what he thinks of ReactOS. kek

Also, he's triggered by a lot of words.

Ask him about burnt salmon.

Take selfies with him so he can ramble about your mobile surveillance system

Ask him how he feels about CIA niggers.

thank him for saving us from shitty bloated proprietary software

Ask him why windows is better than linux

Tell him a story about how proprietary software killed your grandmother since her laptop over heated.

CAN'T YOU SEE HOW HORRIBLE THAT IS?

Hurd?

Recite him the rebuttal of the interjection pasta.

You know:

"No, Richard, it's 'Linux', not 'GNU/Linux'. The most important contributions that the FSF made to Linux were the creation of the GPL and the GCC compiler. Those are fine and inspired products. GCC is a monumental achievement and has earned you, RMS, and the Free Software Foundation countless kudos and much appreciation.

Following are some reasons for you to mull over, including some already answered in your FAQ.

One guy, Linus Torvalds, used GCC to make his operating system (yes, Linux is an OS -- more on this later). He named it 'Linux' with a little help from his friends. Why doesn't he call it GNU/Linux? Because he wrote it, with more help from his friends, not you. You named your stuff, I named my stuff -- including the software I wrote using GCC -- and Linus named his stuff. The proper name is Linux because Linus Torvalds says so. Linus has spoken. Accept his authority. To do otherwise is to become a nag. You don't want to be known as a nag, do you?

[...]"

Dont ask him anything. He will destroy you and your question in front of everyone. But ask him to sing the free software song. Not joking, he was singing it at the University Münster in Germany. It's a cool dude.

I've heard he's a really kind person. Just weird to be around with.

Tell him to take his meds

ask him about the best way to cook dried foot skins

ask him about his view on trap

is it gay or not?
is feminine dick a boundary or not?

Wew

Ask what you can't already do in an email

Ask him what does he think about PowerShell being FOSS.

ask him what's his favorite flavor of toejam

His view is that no one's left the GNU project before and there's no formal process for leaving. That's all.

I saw him speak at web summit last year, he called the fitbit a "shitbit" then auctioned off a toy gnu for €300

THIS

that's awesome

Are you kidding? Or is RMS really that autistic?

Has he ever explained why he was eating from his foot?

install windows 10 on his laptop

Ask him if he still doesn't travel with Iberia.

"– ¿Por qué debo apagarla? -pregunta RMS.

– Porque son las normas de aviación.

– Mentira señorita, es falso, las normas dicen que sólo cuando se cierran las puertas. Además, mire, están todos hablando por teléfono, mi ordenador no tiene ni lector de CD.

– Pero señor…

– Le dije que no, no estoy haciendo nada malo.

La azafata se retira. Yo con cara de imbécil sin saber qué hacer o decir, Stallman tenía toda la razón, pero también todas las de perder.

Viene un hombre, le dice lo mismo, Stallman insiste en que no lo va a apagar, que no le molesten, que tiene mucho trabajo.

Al final viene uno de los pilotos, muy amable, pero le insiste y con voz dura. Al final le dice:

– Mire, son las normas de Iberia, o lo apaga, o se tendrá que bajar.

– OK, lo apago, pero nunca más volaré en Iberia.

Me mira:

– Ricardo, espero que mi vuelo a Valencia no sea con Iberia, si es así, cámbialo, no subiré a un avión de Iberia."

He is actually that autistic.

Ask him if a linux distro without any gnu packages is still a GNU/Linux distribution. He answered it last time but I forgot what he said.

>shitbit
kek

He solved the fucking autism puzzle. No one gets more autistic than that.

>s, mire, están todos hablando por teléfono, mi ordenador no tiene ni lector de CD.
>– Pero señor…

lol, the guy is amazing

Try to seduce him and when you gain his trust, ask him about cheat codes

Jeez

Which?

This one. There's a picture with his email reply.

...

Wew

Bid the highest on the GNU he auctions at the end of the presentation and only pay him in iTunes cards

This blog post is gold.

"Nos dijo que le gustan mucho las mujeres, pero que él está sólo, que se puso como misión en la vida trabajar para el software libre, que no le quedaba tiempo ni para tener una casa, que viajaba mucho, y que no podía tener relaciones estables con ninguna chica. Hace una broma, “ya casi no sé lo que es el sexo”.

Y aquí vino mi gran metida de pata. Para seguirle la línea e intentar relajar el ambiente le dije “el problema es que el free software no es compatible con el free sex“. No sé qué fibra tocó, pero se puso a llorar como un niño, con muchas lágrimas, sólo repetía entre sollozos “estoy muy sólo, estoy muy sólo”."

And there was a couple at the table. I bet he was trying to convince the guy to be cucked by him.
Would you let RMS cuck you, Sup Forums?

Everyone knows a line by definition is straight.

I smirked. Too bad this genius only shits out political notes these days.

He won't give an autograph unless you buy something or give him a laptop with all Microsoft stickers removed

more like he'll have a giant manchild temper tantrum if you talk to him or do anything he doesn't like.

>No sé qué fibra tocó, pero se puso a llorar como un niño, con muchas lágrimas, sólo repetía entre sollozos “estoy muy sólo, estoy muy sólo”."

T-this is s-satire, right?
>tfw this will be you in 20 years

He really is that autistic. This was at a Steve Jobs memorial panel at a science fiction convention.

2easy lmao

Steve Jobs was a piece of shit honestly, but that is still autistic. Did anybody record this?

ask him about his skype

so how is it?

> one line

I would say you are autistic but you just failed a test...

Ask him about SystemD and TempleOS

Just got here, still setting up

He saw me take the pic and is telling everyone to not post anything on Facebook or subsidiaries
Also to turn off geotagging

...

You took his picture and felt a warning. Be glad you aren't feeling his full wrath.

They're gonna auction off that gnu for charity

GIVE HIM FREE JAVASCRIPT TO THE MCDONALD'S WIFI

Stop.

Kek

Read this article and ask questions from it.

"Uber is a terrible company. It pays its people peanuts, so I sometimes call it Goober."

Currently emailing him about developing an addon to make McDonald's Wi-fi accessible without running proprietary Javascript

I already wrote a python script now I'm gonna make a firefox addon.

0xbeef.coffee/downloads/mickyd/mickyd.tar.gz

I have to admit, when I first heard about him on Sup Forums I didn't get him. Now I understand he was always speaking the truth.

Well those people don't have to work for Uber if they don't feel like they're getting paid enough, they should just seek employment elsewhere.

They are just trying to finagle thir way out of having to pay their employees minimum wage.

I say fuck them, why shouldn't they have to pay.

They're not actual employees, they're independent contractors.

Sounds like a loophole to avoid paying them minimum wage

He's calling it "GNU slash Linux"
Where's the "plus"
I've been lied to

Descriptivism isn't a "rebuttal" to prescriptivism. It's a tantrum thrown by idiots.
Fucking kids.
>Does something I disagree with
>I refuse to learn new words
>I'll call him autistic

t. rms

>This multibillion dollar, multinational corporation clearly can't pay its employees minimum wage
So logical.

Ask him why Windows 10 isnt free software when you got it for free.

reported for attempting to get an user murdered

if he does it RMS will probably have to be escorted off campus

Actually he just asked if anyone could give him a ride to where he's staying anyway
