Everything in there is right.

2018-04-07 02:28:00 UTC  

If you have no control, nor choice, for your software, you're at the mercy of the vendor.

2018-04-07 02:28:07 UTC  

i can agree on a number of points but i think he take it too far

2018-04-07 02:28:43 UTC  

youre still at the mercy of whoever write the software to license it in a way you find appropriate

2018-04-07 02:28:52 UTC  

People asked him, "what if I can't find a job that will pay me to write free software, only proprietary?", he responded "you shouldn't feel bad. If that's what you need to do for a living, do it."

2018-04-07 02:29:32 UTC  

So what is too far?

2018-04-07 02:29:38 UTC  

I never had to buy anything for school computers, everything I needed was already installed. Defaq?

Here's the trick: you paid for the "already installed" shit.

2018-04-07 02:30:06 UTC  

too far is making a career out of his political platform about software

2018-04-07 02:30:14 UTC  

I went to public school

2018-04-07 02:30:30 UTC  

Unless you mean I payed with taxes

2018-04-07 02:30:48 UTC  

Stallman talks bout the importance of having freedom on the software they use. What's wrong about that?

2018-04-07 02:30:57 UTC  

nothing

2018-04-07 02:31:12 UTC  

Now you sound like the Salt-Right, that's angry at JBP for "making a career of trying to help people".

2018-04-07 02:31:15 UTC  

not everything rms says is cancer. hes been right about many things

2018-04-07 02:31:57 UTC  

I don't think TJ was angry at Peterson

2018-04-07 02:32:07 UTC  

He also isn't alt right

2018-04-07 02:32:08 UTC  

Jordan P eat no skin off his toes in interviews, can come to my house anytime

2018-04-07 02:32:19 UTC  

Here's the thing, whenever public schools get computers for kids: it's paid by, with taxpayer money.

2018-04-07 02:32:27 UTC  

Yes

2018-04-07 02:32:36 UTC  

Microsoft undermined a ton of projects in third world countries to bring computers with Linux.

2018-04-07 02:32:43 UTC  

yeah

2018-04-07 02:32:49 UTC  

I know one in Brazil, some in Africa.

2018-04-07 02:33:48 UTC  

Mandriva was going to provide cheap PCs to schools in some African countries, MS stepped in and made intel cancel their deal to provide the hardware, and provide Windows-based computers.

2018-04-07 02:34:08 UTC  

yeah ive seen some but not much at all about that

2018-04-07 02:34:35 UTC  

Stallman also is Autistic.

2018-04-07 02:34:40 UTC  

haha really

2018-04-07 02:34:53 UTC  

Uppercase "A".

2018-04-07 02:35:00 UTC  

I respect Linus more because he made the GNU actually useful?

2018-04-07 02:35:12 UTC  

I would have guess Aspergers

2018-04-07 02:35:12 UTC  

GNU was useful long before Linux.

2018-04-07 02:35:24 UTC  

Installing GNU on top of proprietary Unixes was the norm.

2018-04-07 02:35:58 UTC  

okay i didnt know

2018-04-07 02:36:06 UTC  

There's a biography, I think even freely available, you can see interviews with some of his lab coworkers and even his mom.

2018-04-07 02:36:10 UTC  

He's Autistic, his mom says it.

2018-04-07 02:36:28 UTC  

maybe shes just memeing 😄

2018-04-07 02:37:09 UTC  

The guy was a genius in physics, he was one of the few that took an advanced course, and survived to the end, with like 4 or 5 others only.

2018-04-07 02:37:31 UTC  

But he gave up because he was insecure on whether he could discover something new, and he liked computers more.

2018-04-07 02:37:43 UTC  

Who knows what his autism could have discovered in physics.

2018-04-07 02:38:23 UTC  

so the GCC was written my Stallman's Autism?

2018-04-07 02:39:13 UTC  

He tried 2 compilers beforehand. On one, the author didn't want to make it free software. The other was public domain, but it sucked.
