linux distro devs put GNU on Linux, not GNU

2018-09-29 05:26:31 UTC  

Mmm. I'm not saavy with this kind of shit. I thought it was the other way around.

2018-09-29 05:27:11 UTC  

bet u thought it was GNU/Linux

2018-09-29 05:27:20 UTC  

I actually did.

2018-09-29 05:27:39 UTC  

So really it's more Linux/GNU?

2018-09-29 05:27:42 UTC  

only if you consider a c compiler and a text editor to be an operating system

2018-09-29 05:28:06 UTC  

I thought GNU also encompassed GNOME and other things.

2018-09-29 05:28:08 UTC  

hm more or less ya

2018-09-29 05:28:21 UTC  

yes some distros use gnome

2018-09-29 05:28:33 UTC  

but gnu nor gnome have a native distro

2018-09-29 05:28:48 UTC  

That makes sense.

2018-09-29 05:29:55 UTC  

GNU was supposed to be an OS but they couldnt finish a kernel in 10 years

2018-09-29 05:30:39 UTC  

RMS had some autistic idea for a really complex kernel made of multiple programs, but says Linus got his made faster because he went with the traditional way of writing 1 program to do the job

2018-09-29 05:31:48 UTC  

So in the end, Linus decides to write an OS, and sees some helpful tools in the GNU project and uses them

2018-09-29 05:32:05 UTC  

Isn't saying that RMS is autistic rather redundant?

2018-09-29 05:32:29 UTC  

programmers love redundancies and recursion

2018-09-29 05:32:38 UTC  

PowerISA fully unpacked means

2018-09-29 05:32:43 UTC  

Performance Optimized With Enhanced Reduced Instruction Set Computer Instruction Set Architecture

2018-09-29 05:33:12 UTC  

Who the fuck even uses POWER anymore?

2018-09-29 05:34:56 UTC  

Look at this fucker.

2018-09-29 05:35:05 UTC  

Is this not the face of autism?

2018-09-29 05:36:40 UTC  

that fucking gringo accent, man lol

2018-09-29 05:37:30 UTC  

Stallman only calls computer programmers "hackers" because he'd prefer to see them programming for free

We live in the age of patreon.

2018-09-29 05:38:15 UTC  

There's no reason for anybody to work for free if they don't want to, even if they want to contribute to free projects.

2018-09-29 05:39:08 UTC  

my goal in open source is to take and give nothing back <:pepe_smug:378719408341909506>

2018-09-29 05:39:20 UTC  

why code for Google and Microsoft, for free?

2018-09-29 05:40:04 UTC  

Charge for the service, not the product

2018-09-29 05:40:16 UTC  

That's my attitude.

2018-09-29 05:41:03 UTC  

will hack DOOMcode for food

2018-09-29 05:41:29 UTC  

I mean, the business model that software companies use makes no fucking sense.

2018-09-29 05:41:55 UTC  

You're charging people to buy a product that's infinitely reproducable.

2018-09-29 05:42:30 UTC  

That makes no damned sense.

2018-09-29 05:42:45 UTC  

Red Hat does it right

2018-09-29 05:43:16 UTC  

i still enjoy a nice piece of affordable full price retail software

2018-09-29 05:43:48 UTC  

The cheap software rack at Target

2018-09-29 05:43:55 UTC  

free programs can be amazing(OBS) or shit(LibreOffice)
