Richard Stallman Talks About Microsoft(R)'s Azure Sphere OS(TM)

At this point I’m convinced that he’s insane. Every fucking interview he does is virtually the same shit over and over again: “muh Linux is just a kernel”, “muh free software isn’t open source”, “muh four freedoms”, etc., etc. He’s literally stuck in his own past.

Howso? You don't think users here like freedom?

The reason he has to repeat these same lessons is because people legitimately do not understand what these lessons are. People do not understand that Linux is a kernel program, not an operating system in itself. People do not understand that the open source development method isn't the ideal that Stallman is advocating. People do not understand that free software is software that respects the users' freedom.

The users here really don't care about freedom. They're always bitching about Firefox and Intel while non-ironically using Windows, proprietary games, and smartphones.

This is probably the most retarded recurring thing he says since he simultaneously uses both of these arguments:
• "I don't approve of open source";
• "X is bad because its source code is private."

Did you know that the open source movement was started specifically to promote an agenda of open development of shared code in direct opposition to his message that freedom is important?

He does not approve of the IDEA behind open source vs his own. Open Source is a development model; not a philosophy.

>doesn't realize that (((Microsoft))) will use free software in a bad way (EEE)
linus torvalds is better

Stallman is not an SJW for the simple reason that he is a free speech absolutist. He might believe something is wrong, but he's never in favor of censoring anything.

Linus Torvalds raised an SJW. In many ways that is worse than being one. Also


When it comes to hardware/software, the path of freedom is a hard one to walk.
