Richard Stallman is the textbook definition of "domain matter expert." When it comes to software and his philosophy of the four freedoms of software; everyone should heed his warnings.
When it comes to everything else, take what this man says with a ~~grain~~ bottle of salt.
Now if you identify as a Stallman-sexual because you have a toe jam fetish; I'm not going to kink shame you for it.
I disagree and I think people who say that aren't very familiar with what he says on his blog. He spent his whole life fighting for justice and freedom, not just in software. He has many interesting opinions on other topics as well and I agree with many of them. For example, I agree that we should reject the term “sexual assault”, because it’s too vague and can mean almost anything, so instead we should use more precise terms. I'm not saying that he is never wrong, though.
I think it's sad that someone uploaded a video of him doing something embarrassing just to make fun of him and other people share it. I wish people didn't behave like that.
While RMS is a person who loves to argue on semantics; this argument comes from his friend being accused of sexual assault. "Oh my friend was accused of sexual assault... when you think about it what really is sexual assault?" (This is not a direct quote, I'm just making a point.)
This was during a conference and he was being asked a question. The most you can complain about is it went viral (or that he did this in public).
I know and he was right. There was no evidence of Minsky assaulting anybody. I don’t think they were friends, though.
that's one of the reasons why I disagree with people dunking on zuckerberg. they almost always make fun of his appearance.
it's the ideas that matter, not the appearance.
Good point. He makes proprietary software designed to exploit people and everyone should realise that. That's the important issue.
You mean that lizard guy ?
