got posted before, not sure if it's real

so Stallman is the equivalent of Westboro Baptist Church?

As much as I love Stallman, I wish he was capable of putting his agenda down for a minute. Steve Jobs may not have been as amazing as the media make out, but his contribution wasn't entirely negative. He was pretty closely involved with the design of the first GUIs for one thing.

He's a jackass, but his values are self-consistent with his actions. Same thing goes for libertarians and the unabomber. They're all not insane, they've reached a conclusion and they are making decisions based on that conclusion. Smart people can disagree, but doing so at the cost of sociopathy is generally superceded by the Walmartians of the world.

tl;dr He's a sociopath about his beliefs but shouldn't we all be?

It's weird how Stallman supports pedophilia and necrophilia but thinks proprietary software is evil. He has a strange moral code.

>>20435230
it's real

>>20435271
At least, he's able to rationally support his views.

My respect for this semi-god just increases ten-fold.

That homeless communist jew foot fungus-eatinc white-nigger, I hope he suffers a coronary tomorrow from how fat he is. If anything FSF wants to restrict our freedom to make a living. Fuck him, he'll get his and not one single fuck will be given.

That's a nice, comma splice.

>>20435271
You could make a sound argument for decriminalizing necrophilia and pedophilia but banning proprietary software.

It'd just be your mom at birthday parties though.

>>20435262
He copied it

>>20435299
You must be gnu here. Read his website.

>>20435306
Capitalistic Pig Developer that wants to profit from other people's work and user's freedom detected.

I hope he dies of cancer.

>>20435319
You could almost say he Xeroxed it, but if it wasn't for him and Gates, the design would have stagnated behind closed doors.

>>20435332
don't you mean aids

>>20435271
it may be true that he practices rhinophytonecrophilia (nasal sex with dead plants) but i don't think that he supports pedophilia and necrophilia in general. source?

>>20435309
English is not my native tongue but I'm conviced my comma was perfectly good where it was.

Of course, taking account of my first statement, that doesn't mean much.

>>20435363
""One of them said he was upset when you talked about nasal sex with plants." I had actually demonstrated this perverse act with the bouquet on the tab"

oh wow. and

yfw you google rhinophytonecrophillia and the first result is stallman website

>>20435331
>profit from other people's work
Why are you implying a programmer always needs other peoples code?

>>20435331
>>20435306
Neither one of you fags understands GPL.

>>20435372
Haven't you ever smelled a flower? How is that shocking?

>>20435363
You would put the comma for words like "however" and "although", but not for "at least".

I'm a native speaker. I have no idea what the rule is. I just know what looks right. Sorry that isn't much help.

This. GPL software that sells binaries.

>>20435206
I never mentioned the gpl, I was talking about what stallmen fights for in general.

>>20435373
>>FSF wants to restrict our freedom to make a living
FSF doesn't do this. Only people that want to use GPL code but not abide by the GPL would post such a statement, thus easily conclude he is a pig developer who wants to steal GPL code for his own benefit.

>>20435382
I do understand GPL and the FSF foundation better than you.

>>20435206
Nk you are confused, I would never use gpl'd code, nevertheless rms stands against making a living by selling binaries (in theory you can, but no one would buy a binary if they can compile it themselves).
So... Rms is against my way of living.

>>20435402
You can use GPL code and not release the source so long as you don't release the binaries.

So if a corporation wants to use it internally they're perfectly allowed to. They just can't distribute it in any way. This seems pretty reasonable. Especially considering it is the same tactic that gives closed source software an edge. Then there exists these closed environments that depend on publicly released software.

Why shouldn't there be environments that depend on open-source software? You can't really argue it is ALWAYS a bad thing. Sometimes it is a bad strategy, like for creating a new file format that improves on predecessors. It might be great, but without adoption you won't get anywhere.

Without GPL you're coding for corporations releasing/selling software who aren't employing you. This isn't necessarily always good/bad thing but if someone wants their code and its derivatives to stay open then they can use GPL.

You are as stupid as you sound. rms himself made a living doing just that you rampant ignoramus.

>>20435438
That's not true at all. (nothing of it). Maybe stallman is against your way of life of talking shit and coding shit software without releasing sources under a license which increases the probability that someone from the internets corrects all its errors like the gpl.
you can always make money by selling binaries and giving support. if it isn't shit software people will pay for it.
