    Meeh… Stallman, no, but Linus, yes, most definitely. I love his sense of humor to be honest, watch his AMAs from time to time, they’re like standup to me 😂.

      My favorite anecdote about Stallman is how some women at MIT kept massive amounts of plants in their office to ward him off.

      Stallman has done more than anyone for free software. Just because you don’t like how he talks doesn’t take away the talent and the sheer will of the man. Linux should have never entertained snowflakes

        He has, no doubt there, but he’s completely unflexible. The FSF would be better off without him. Other than the GNU tools, there really isn’t much else that the FSF has done regarding free software. Like where are they now with the RH debacle. That thing is a dead on court case and they’re nowhere to be found.

        I’d hate to think what other projects needed their legal help and they were hiding under or a rock or something.

        Also, one of the main reasons why many projects nowadays are under MIT or BSD licenses is because of Stallman. The lingo he uses is sort of faschist. The only good license is the GPL license, nothing else. That’s no way to present something… anything really.
