In a moment of drunken emotional overload, I wrote RMS this:

>Hello Mr. Stallman,

>I just want to let you know that from all the interviews and all the articles I've read about you and the Free Software Foundation, I've found much inspiration. Truly, you´re a guide for all young, aspiring engineers who dream of revolutionizing the way technology is regarded in the modern world.

>I'm 20 years old and not yet done with my education. But once I am, I'll make sure to base my work on the same standards you live by.

>Best regards,
>A fan

Today he replied:
>Thank you. The world needs more people like you.

>Meanwhile, you don't have to wait till you graduate
to start helping -- because technical work is not the only way.
Look at gnu.org/help. Do you see anything there that you would
like to do?

Now I feel bad. I don't really know anything about computers besides how to assemble them and fix minor problems. What could I possibly help the FSF with?

Well I just went to the page he linked and saw this:
>Like GNU, the FSF also gets a lot of its strength from volunteers. It's a great place to volunteer and a great community to join, especially if you don't have the technical background to contribute directly to free software development.

So it would probably help if you at least read the page he sent you.

Spread the word about free software online in forums and shit.

But not here, cause we already know all about it.

Make a mission of spreading the good word every week and you can feel good about it.

People are really sensitige about privacy and government backdoors and prism and shit. Try to work with that if you can. Microsoft mistrust and suspicius of google etc is at an all time high. Jusy make sure you can present good arguments and respond to questions

Freetards confirmed as belonging to a religious type organization. The irony is that the freetards are usually atheists lol.

RMS is a pretty big dick about religion.

I seriously think if for some reason he had to sit through a church service he would interrupt the minister every minute with some interjection about god not existing or that being improbable until they kicked him out.

You can help the FSF by not being a hypocrite. Install GNU/Linux, sign up to hushmail or lavabit if you get the chance and use only software and services that respect your freedoms.

I find it hard to believe how anyone on /g/ can seriously respect a fully grown man that threw a temper tantrum when he was supposed to be giving a speech. Any respect I had for him prior to watching that video was entirely lost.

because saying you should not steal and share information so that all man kind can benefit is exactly the same as telling you a sky fairy made women out of some guy's rib amirite?

My friend got kicked out of a church once.

It wad easter and the priest had just finished an emotion-filled speech that supposedly had people in tears.
After a few seconds of silence my friend yelled "BA-DUM-TS" as loud as he could from the back of the room.

Shit was jokes

did you see him eat things off his toe yet?

the guy is a little fucked socially, but that doesn't make his ideas about software and freedom any less correct

maybe you should lay off the ad hominem and make objective criticisms of his philosophies instead
