    RMS is the patron saint (and prophet) of open source. Like all saints he can be an A-hole zealot.

    I want to thank Richard for being the a-hole zealot the world has needed. The whole F-ing world is in debt to his relentless, tireless work.

      I don’t want to be pedantic in reply to a heartfelt comment but since I believe Richard himself would say this: he advocates for free software which is fundamentally different from open source.

        You’re right, and anyone who thinks otherwise should check out Revolution OS. He speaks about it in detail.

          Here is an alternative Piped link(s):

          Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.

      He’s someone I think who will truly be appreciated when its to late. Like when we’re getting our amazon anal trackers inserted by our yearly google healthcare visit we’ll have a moment that we should have appreciated him morw

        We won’t be licensed to have that thought due to the Musk chips in our brains, without which we will be unable to get health insurance.
