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.

2018-04-07 02:39:37 UTC  

So he went "well, I guess I'll have to create one by myself"

2018-04-07 02:39:46 UTC  

him explaining why GNU never had a successful kernel sounds like a huge copout

2018-04-07 02:40:03 UTC  

He's autistic, not a software designer.

2018-04-07 02:40:14 UTC  

He designed an extremely complicated kernel.

2018-04-07 02:40:22 UTC  

that was dumb of him

2018-04-07 02:40:24 UTC  

And he never wrote a kernel before.

2018-04-07 02:41:08 UTC  

and yet years later a simple kernel does the job

2018-04-07 02:41:24 UTC  

thats a long time to not learn from your mistakes

2018-04-07 02:41:32 UTC  

I wouldn't call Linux simple, just "dumb, but works."

2018-04-07 02:41:47 UTC  

Now Linus is whining about all the graphics stack being dumped into the kernel.

2018-04-07 02:41:51 UTC  

the kernel as "being one program" as rms describes

2018-04-07 02:42:12 UTC  

Linus doesnt whine he screams the fire of rage from deep inside his heart

2018-04-07 02:42:25 UTC  

the man is a REAL NIGGA

2018-04-07 02:42:39 UTC  

He rages against companies, but he whines with fellow developers.

2018-04-07 02:42:41 UTC  

rms seems like an excuse for himself, by comparison

2018-04-07 02:42:48 UTC  

but thats just personality. thats not code
