He's a cool guy but nah

Gnu is the System and Stallman is its Prophet.

he is not a god, more like jesus

Our gnu messiah.

I remember that weekend I drove down to mcdonalds and back 5 or so times to write a script to get into their wifi without running non-free javascript

hmm

Accurate

I ain't praise this arrogant lardass
Terry is the true and only human programmer chosen by Mr. God as his Prophet

who is stallman?

Not really. His an authority on software ethics and software licensing as well as a moderate authority on patent law (I agree with him wholeheartedly) but to say "God" would mean agreeing with him on every issue and that's just not the case.

He's just too much of a social liberal/neoliberal

>like a god
He isn't like a god, he is THE GOD.

stallman is not a philosophically pure person. he follows his ideals when convenient, and ignores them or slightly alters them when the conflict isn't worth it.

stallman is an egoist in denial, afraid of admitting that he just wants some fucking source code instead of a world where he has to rely on other people because he knows he wouldn't get it that way.

his system has some practical merits but his attempts at creating moral justifications are completely pathetic and nonsensical. how low do you have to be to have to make up bullshit "oughts" when you can just say "it would be fucking better"?

>he follows his ideals when convenient, and ignores them or slightly alters them when the conflict isn't worth it.
Love it when people share their uneducated opinion

>Stallman
>neoliberal
i dont think that is correct
at all

He uses airplanes,which use closed source proprietary software and hardware.
He uses taxi/buses which use closed source proprietary software and hardware.
He uses microphones and sound systems at speaking arrangements that use closed source propitiatory software and hardware.

He is a grand hypocrite

It's time to face the facts. Richard Stallman is nothing more than a whining, overly obese autistic manbaby who has not done anything beneficial for the computing OR technology world in the past 20 years. Seriously. Name something that RMS has done after 1995 besides bitching, crying, and moaning about bullshit that does not matter, or making some retarded, incomprehensible speech.

He demands that Linux be called GNU/Linux. That is fucking insane. The only reason GNU, GPL, and FSF are still a THING is because of Linus and the invention of Linux. If anything, Stallman should rename GNU to Linux/GNU, because without Linus, the GNU, GPL, and FSF would not be a thing anymore.

Stallman still has the fucking gonads to act like he's superior to everyone else. Saying shit such as "I'm not glad he's dead, but I'm glad he's gone" right after Steve Jobs' death. What an asshole. Stallman has not even programmed a single line of code since 2008, that was AFTER he essentially stopped in 1992.

He should be fucking grateful Linus stepped in to save his ass, and even allowing him to take partial credit for his achievements. If it wasn't for Linus, he would be nothing, he would probably be dead in a Burger King dumpster right now.

Besides, what has he ever even done? He claims to have written eMacs, but in reality he actually cloned gosmacs (the first eMacs that was made for UNIX). He didn't even write 50% of the code in eMacs.

You might say he wrote GCC and GDB, but the truth is that he initally wrote the C compiler, but now the vast majority for the same compiler is done by contributors.

He's a washed up, morbidly obese man who tries to stay relevant by having these retarded arguments that are similar to those found in the Soviet Union. Face it GNU/Freetards, Richard Stallman is a fat dickhead, and the only reason his name is still in the books is because of Linus's achievements.

Which part of "not my computer" do you fail to understand?

Why does it have to be on your computer?
He is USING the software and hardware.
HE IS USING
>USING
>USING

>repeating words over and over again make my argument stronger
Epic, truly epic friend.

Airplanes, taxi, buses are a service. You do not own the resources, you

But you CHOOSE to use them.
You are ACTIVELY choosing to use these closed systems.
You're just making excuses

Which part of "not my computer" do you fail to understand?

Which part of you are choosing to use these closed systems do you fail to understand?
Why does it have to be "my computer"?
You're still USING them,you made an active decision to violate your precious morals and use them

Stop making excuses for your weak willed morals

The hero software needs.

Spotted the retard who didn't even read the fucking license.

Free software doesn't apply to end user. It applies to distribution.
I make something under a free license and decide to distribute it. I am obliged to share the source code to the end user.
The end user uses the software that I distributed to him under a free license for whatever purpose. He can make modification to said software and UNLESS he decides to distribute it further (with his changes), he's not obliged to share source with anyone.

The airline is the end user of an airplane.
The taxi corporation is the end user of taxis
The bus corporation is the end user of buses.

Not me.
For me, as not end-user the concept of software freedom does not apply to me because I'm not the end user. I'm using your service, not the hardware/software.

I'm using the service, not the system.

Dosent fucking matter in the least bit
The service uses closed source proprietary software and hardware.
Things you detest.

You're just weak willed and lack a fundamental understanding of what morals are


btw you're using closed source proprietary software right now, using Sup Forums.
You're also using closed source proprietary software when you make posts.

These are executed within your browser on your computer :^)

>:^)
Oh look, the reddit smiley aka "I'm starting to lose the argument, the next post will be smug anime girl"

>The service uses closed source proprietary software and hardware.
It's up to the decision of the end user whether he values freedom or not. I'm using the service, not the system therefore I'm not in position to forcibly impose my morals on other people.

Voluntary slavery?

>You're also using closed source proprietary software when you make posts.
>These are executed within your browser on your computer :^)
Try again buddy. Javascript extensions (free) with Sup Forums pass. Stop being poor.

Fuck no, he's barely relevant to Sup Forums at all, closer to /biz/ or Sup Forums.
>best known in tech for Unix userland clone
>what he actual cares about is politics and legal copyright bullshit
>literally spawned the first group of dumb assholes who are not programmers but hang around programmers complaining endlessly about ethics, business, law, and communism
What a great contribution, emacs wasen't even worth it.

I have a much, much larger amount of appreciation for almost anyone else. People that deserve thanks are the people at Bell labs, SUN, and even Linus Torvalds. The people that had to come up with and design these systems that later got ripped off, the people that had to do the implementations and extensions, the people porting kernels to different hardware instead of just copying something else and throwing it on top of someone elses kernel while masturbating to a uuencoded ascii art file of Karl Marx piped to less.

I have no argument to lose,buddy.
>values freedom
So you only "value" it when its on your computer,but you're perfectly fine violating them to make it more convient on your self?
HYPOCRITE

>Sup Forums pass
>freedom
KEK
you know gook has over 10 lawsuits in japan for selling user data and datamining?

>So you only "value" it when its on your computer,but you're perfectly fine violating them to make it more convient on your self?
I care because my computer is what I'm in power to change.
I can only preach the values of free software like any other ideology. Learn to fucking read.

>HYPOCRITE
dumb fuck

>you know gook has over 10 lawsuits in japan for selling user data and datamining?
How does it matter if I paid for it using btc?

Grasping at straws here.

No. What he preaches is unfalsifiable bullshit. There's no argument for it.

Nice pasta, mind if I give it a (You)?

>unfalsifiable bullshit
Funny way to spell objectively right.

>barely relevant to Sup Forums at all
Sup Forums is dead. Other parts of your post were not relevant.

>cares about user data selling but despises free software and probably uses Windows 10.
Please take meds for your cognitive dissonance.
Also stop using most using most of the internet namely the servers that run GNU/Linux with PHP with Apache or Nginx which are free software.
Also don't use programs compiled with GCC.

In all my years I'm still surprised to see people this desperate for attention.

Stallman is not a neo-liberal. He's more of a borderline crypto anarchist or socialist.

He wants me to use housefire CPUs from 2008 so he can suck it

Those are things he doesn't consider a computer and he also does not own them. fuck off.

Using propietary software isn't immoral though. You are the victim if you use it.

He isn't a god but he is a hero. He's basically correct about everything except politics. The software he has writen is great and he made a vital contribution to freeing computer users along with Leah Rowe, Linus and a few others. It saddens me that so much of Sup Forums has fallen for the stallman hating meme when really he deserves your respect and admiration. Someday I myself hope to make an equal contribution to software freedom. I recently put on a pupet show about his life and it was truly inspirational. I personally use the GNU operating system with linux the kernel without any non-free firmware or software thanks to him.

Then why the big deal about it if you break down and go against your morals and use said hardware and software?

Cognitive dissonance much?

They are not computers if you can't change the software. Thats where he draws the line when it comes to whats a computer and whats not. He can't change a microwaves firmware so therefore he doesn't consider it a computer. You may disagree but he does follow a consitent set of beleifs.

>consistant
So as long as he gets to change it willy nilly on the spot,its ok with him?
Whata hypocrite
Using closed hardware or software in any sense goes against his morals and the shit he has been mouthbreathing for over 40 god damn years.

Get over it

Name one time he has gone against his morals in the way you said.

Using the hardware/software systems at conference rooms/univieristies.
They are closed source proprietary software systems aka computers.

Let me guess? Those arent computers? KEK

What exactly were they? Microphones? Wifi routers? Or were they computers? Another beleif he has helf sinse the begining is thats its ok to use a propietary system for short period of time if its not yours. Check stallman.org this is a veiw he has conistently held.

So yet again,as i originally posted,its ok to go against his standards and morals IF IT MAKES IT EASIER ON HIM.

Hypocrite

Are you stupid? You accused him of modifying his beleifs when it was convienent I told you that he doesn't do that and that he always held the beleif that some things are not computer and its ok to use a propietary computer you don't own for a short period of time.

Excuses...excuses

You didn't refute my argument you just said "Excuses...excuses". Kys.

You have no argument.
Stallman has morals and standards against closed source proprietary hardware and software.
He then goes AGAINST them when ever it is convenient and easy for him to do so.

He has no standards at all.

Did MLK or Gandhi change their morals or standards when they were challenged?
No they didnt.
Stallman holds himself into similar accords.But he is in reality a weak willed mouthy outdated has been who isnt as relevant as you or he think of him self

You are retarded. You accused him of being inconsitent. I showed you he has held these beleifs sinse the begining.You may think that the things he does goes against free software but we are talking about his principles which are constant and unchanging.

>Did MLK or Gandhi change their morals or standards when they were challenged?
yes

If the laws of the US are unjust and he hated them so much, why didn't MLK just go back Africa?

Do you think MLK refused to ever pay a cent of taxes because they funded cops who enforced Jim Crow laws?

Would MLK just walk into the whites only areas and get arrested constantly as if he didn't even know they were segregated because he didn't want to follow an unjust law?

Would GNU be more popular today if he wasn't so cringey and autistic (both looks and public behavior)?

Yes, because he is the the second coming off Christ, the GNUssiah

It isn't autistic at all

it's just nobody really feels RMS's message

RMS is the false Prophet. Time to change the sticky
