weird mixture of feelings that rms ended up the headline in this, when it was triggered by a defense of marvin minsky, who was one of the real greats (Computation: Finite and Infinite Machines still probably the best book written in theoretical cs, Perceptrons in machine learning, and then a bunch of more philosophical ai on top), and up to this reveal a personal hero.

so while the wrong people get famous they also get shamed, but that's doesn't fix that the 'right' people were actually worse.

Yeah we’ve known rms was against age of consent laws and poo poo like that for a long time, it’s literally on his drat website, OP.

At least he’s finally getting some real pushback on it...

Stallman believes if he uses a grocery discount card then the gestapo will take him away, but he’ll use other people’s cards

Q: Stallman is in front of you in a grocery line and asks you to be shabbos goy and run your card for him. What do you do

my prediction now is that rms will come out ahead after all this.

not that he deserves it. but people could have just left him to be a forgotten GNU blob but now people are talking about him again and he's going to get name recognition, and folks will be talking about "what he really meant" or something stupid.

yeah i made the mistake of seeing if slashdot was covering it and wow that site somehow has even more chuds than i expected

so my money's on rms becoming an alt-right figurehead in their eternal struggle against anyone that isn't a chud (which is to say an 'SJW')

Btw the correct answer for the grocery store scenario is to yell YOSPOS BITHC prompting such thunderous applause that Stallman waddles out of the store in embarrassment

same. this was around the time yospos started and foot eating was fresh. the best pic i had was him sitting oddly on a table like a kid in kindergarten; i was hoping to get a photo with him but im glad that was avoided (and only because tom collins had a photo with him)

he loved being fawned over by undergrad dudes and it was uncomfortable to be near

Has anyone really cared about what RMS has said or done since the late 80s? To me he has always been they guy who started the thing which inspired the people who inspired the people who actually made the open source things we now use.
He has always been in the background like some kind of god-father figure who everyone assumes is important but no one can tell you what they actually do now. I guess now we know what he does is be creepy and defend creepy/illegal things.

linux would have happened entirely without rms. and it would have been better for it.
