Poor Stallman

I'm so sad right now.

But please ELI5 me like I'm five with some simple instructions to install a libreboot because the website is a mess and I don't understand jack shit. Also is there a way to avoid using flash for the installation? IMHO it sucks to have to use proprietary software to install free software.

Your problem is PEBKAC. Maybe try researching how to deal with that.

"""Various kinds of animals, including cats, dogs, gorillas, and dolphins, sometimes enjoy and even ask for sexual activities with humans. To prohibit the act, or images of it, is sheer authoritarian prudery. Necrophilia can't hurt the person who died (nothing can), so there is no reason to prohibit the act, let alone images of it."""

"""The nominee is quoted as saying that if the choice of a sexual partner were protected by the Constitution, "prostitution, adultery, necrophilia, bestiality, possession of child pornography, and even incest and pedophilia" also would be. He is probably mistaken, legally--but that is unfortunate. All of these acts should be legal as long as no one is coerced. They are illegal only because of prejudice and narrowmindedness.

Some rules might be called for when these acts directly affect other people's interests. For incest, contraception could be mandatory to avoid risk of inbreeding. For prostitution, a license should be required to ensure prostitutes get regular medical check-ups, and they should have training and support in insisting on use of condoms. This will be an advance in public health, compared with the situation today.

For necrophilia, it might be necessary to ask the next of kin for permission if the decedent's will did not authorize it. Necrophilia would be my second choice for what should be done with my corpse, the first being scientific or medical use. Once my dead body is no longer of any use to me, it may as well be of some use to someone. Besides, I often enjoy rhinophytonecrophilia (nasal sex with dead plants)."""

I don't see how merely advocating his position could be a crime where the first amendment holds. He might get in trouble however in those contexts that do not have first amendment protections.

The game (you're not making it)

Stallman is a wicked entity that uses a laptop made from children’s spines.

Ian Murdock - suicided
Richard Stallman - canceled
Terry Davis - suicided
Linux Torvalds - reeducated
Julian Assange - imprisoned
Hans Reiser - framed up

Do you really think it's a coincidence? All the big names of the Free Software movement falling like flies

>>136

Hans Reiser - framed up

The entire affair was fishy but I do not understand how he led them to the body if he was framed.

>>136
Epstein was an apostle of free software too.

>>137
Hello sheeple. They led them to the body.

>>139
He killed his wife in the most unambiguous way imaginable.

>>140
Stallman has never had a wife.

>>140
The wife killer was the different socialist, either Stalin, Hitler or Hans Reiser.

>>141
Stallman is a fucking gay.

>>139
If no amount of outsiders as witnesses during the body retrieval can ever be sufficient to you, because you will label them all as "them", then your position is to retreat into unfalsifiability and is thus void. In order to not retreat into unfalsifiability you have to allow some bar over which the retrieval witnesses can no longer be all "them". By faking the retrieval, "they" would also greatly increase the number of people who all have to keep lying in a coordinated manner in order not to blow the charade, which is usually not what you want to do when trying to keep a secret, if you can avoid it.

>>140
This is what I think as well, especially since during the Alameda civil suit where his children were awarded $60 million, one of his lines of defense was that he killed her to protect their children, which I cannot imagine an innocent father ever arguing.

The reply chain that managed to defeat your attention span is only three posts long.

Stallman is a fucking gay.

All of the self-insert fiction he wrote is heterosexual.
https://www.stallman.org/#fiction

He also implies that he is straight.
"""I could do without the trappings that people are taught to apply to romantic relationships. The only part that I need is to share loving tenderness and sometimes to delight her. But without that, my life would be (and was) terribly sad."""

He also had girlfriends.

"""When we got to Tech Square, I found Stallman in the middle of a conversation just as we knocked on the door.

"I hope you don't mind," he said, pulling the door open far enough so that Tracy and I could just barely hear Stallman's conversational counterpart. It was a youngish woman, mid-20s I'd say, named Sarah.

"I took the liberty of inviting somebody else to have dinner with us," Stallman said, matter-of-factly, giving me the same cat-like smile he gave me back in that Palo Alto restaurant.

To be honest, I wasn't too surprised. The news that Stallman had a new female friend had reached me a few weeks before, courtesy of Stallman's mother. "In fact, they both went to Japan last month when Richard went over to accept the Takeda Award," Lippman told me at the time.Alas, I didn't find out about the Takeda Foundation's decision to award Stallman, along with Linus Torvalds and Ken Sakamura, with its first-ever award for "Techno-Entrepreneurial Achievement for Social/Economic Well-Being" until after Stallman had made the trip to Japan to accept the award. For more information about the award and its accompanying $1 million prize, visit the Takeda site, http://www.takeda-foundation.jp/.

On the way over to the restaurant, I learned the circumstances of Sarah and Richard's first meeting. Interestingly, the circumstances were very familiar. Working on her own fictional book, Sarah said she heard about Stallman and what an interesting character he was. She promptly decided to create a character in her book on Stallman and, in the interests of researching the character, set up an interview with Stallman. Things quickly went from there. The two had been dating since the beginning of 2001, she said.

"I really admired the way Richard built up an entire political movement to address an issue of profound personal concern," Sarah said, explaining her attraction to Stallman.

My wife immediately threw back the question: "What was the issue?"

"Crushing loneliness."

During dinner, I let the women do the talking and spent most of the time trying to detect clues as to whether the last 12 months had softened Stallman in any significant way. I didn't see anything to suggest they had. Although more flirtatious than I remembered-a flirtatiousness spoiled somewhat by the number of times Stallman's eyes seemed to fixate on my wife's chest-Stallman retained the same general level of prickliness. At one point, my wife uttered an emphatic "God forbid" only to receive a typical Stallman rebuke.

"I hate to break it to you, but there is no God,"
Stallman said.

Afterwards, when the dinner was complete and Sarah had departed, Stallman seemed to let his guard down a little. As we walked to a nearby bookstore, he admitted that the last 12 months had dramatically changed his outlook on life. "I thought I was going to be alone forever," he said. "I'm glad I was wrong."

Before parting, Stallman handed me his "pleasure card," a business card listing Stallman's address, phone number, and favorite pastimes ("sharing good books, good food and exotic music and dance") so that I might set up a final interview.

[ free_ep10.png ]

The next day, over another meal of dim sum, Stallman seemed even more lovestruck than the night before. Recalling his debates with Currier House dorm maters over the benefits and drawbacks of an immortality serum, Stallman expressed hope that scientists might some day come up with the key to immortality. "Now that I'm finally starting to have happiness in my life, I want to have more," he said."""

Can we have a Reiser thread instead

>>145
Make one. This is a Richard Meme Stallman thread.

"""I can't imagine being the client of a prostitute, because the situation would make me feel unwanted. It seems I need mutual tenderness and desire to be part of sex, and the request for money is a sure sign that someone doesn't really want me for myself.

However, for those whose feelings about this are different from mine, prostitution ought to be legal."""

>>144

All of the self-insert fiction he wrote is heterosexual.

Stallman is a closeted gays who pretends to be hetero to fit-in and get this conservative "family values" funding. Stallman would have never got paid for speaking at RussiaToday had he been openly gay.

>>147
Stallman also denies being a particularly intelligent bear in a mansuit who replaced the original rms, and claims to be a human male. If he admitted to being a particularly intelligent bear in a mansuit, he could not be paid for appearing on RT, as bears cannot hold legal tender. He also did in fact appear on RT. This either proves that Stallman is a particularly intelligent bear in a mansuit, or shows by reductio ad absurdum that bringing up the RT appearance as an argument is vacuous.

As for

conservative "family values"

the opposite is true. Stallman gives zero ducks about them, which is the opposite of what conservatives preach, although it is perfectly in line with what they practice, since they regularly pressure their mistresses into having abortions.

"""A TV show in Pakistan showed an extramarital affair — unusually, involving a wife rather than a husband. The producer and actors are accused in court of misogyny, putting freedom of expression in danger.

I reject the assumption that monogamy is morally imperative. I refuse to use the words "cheating" and "unfaithful" to describe sex, or romantic love, in conflict with monogamy. I think people should be monogamous if they wish, and not if they don't. When I love a woman, I do not ask her to be monogamous, because I do not think of her as my possession. I simply wish for her to join me in keeping our love going well."""

His fur isn't enough of an evidence of him being a bear wearing no mansuit?

The bear/mansuit part is fine, I'm just not seeing the evidence for him being particularly intelligent. I've known bears who could operate showers.

Since human males exist with more body/facial hair than Stallman, it is not.

"""It was in Math 55 that Richard Stallman began to cultivate a reputation for brilliance. Breidbart agrees, but Chess, whose competitive streak refused to yield, says the realization that Stallman might be the best mathematician in the class didn't set in until the next year. "It was during a class on Real Analysis, which I took with Richard the next year," says Chess, now a math professor at Hunter College. "I actually remember in a proof about complex valued measures that Richard came up with an idea that was basically a metaphor from the calculus of variations. It was the first time I ever saw somebody solve a problem in a brilliantly original way."

Chess makes no bones about it: watching Stallman's solution unfold on the chalkboard was a devastating blow. As a kid who'd always taken pride in being the smartest mathematician the room, it was like catching a glimpse of his own mortality. Years later, as Chess slowly came to accept the professional rank of a good-but-not-great mathematician, he had Stallman's sophomore-year proof to look back on as a taunting early indicator.

"That's the thing about mathematics," says Chess. "You don't have to be a first-rank mathematician to recognize first-rate mathematical talent. I could tell I was up there, but I could also tell I wasn't at the first rank. If Richard had chosen to be a mathematician, he would have been a first-rank mathematician.""""

Harvard is a degree mill for the rich, not an academic institution, and quotes from a celebrity hagiography mean nothing.

Harvard is a degree mill for the rich, not an academic institution

This is true when your daddy pays $2 million for you to get in, like the current POTUS, not when you are a penniless nobody like student rms. Ask yourself where today's university mathematics professors got their degrees.

quotes from a celebrity hagiography mean nothing

1. If a statement is true it does not suddenly become false due to where it is reproduced.
2. The quotes are not from "a celebrity hagiography" but from two university mathematics professors who were Stallman's classmates.

>>155
Stallman has never gotten within a dozen orders of magnitude of being penniless in his life. He was born into an upper-middle class family and coasted on family money until it got him firmly entrenched in one of the richest universities on the planet. He lives the way he does because he's an inveterate parasite, not because he's ever been poor.

Quote a Twitter thread to prove Elon Musk is a brilliant self-made entrepreneur next.

Stallman has never gotten within a dozen orders of magnitude of being penniless in his life.

See how hyperbole works? He was penniless in comparison to the kind of money required to buy a Harvard degree for someone who cannot make it on skill, in the same way that, if rms and his mother had a hypothetical weekly food budget of only $10, then for your "dozen orders of magnitude" to be true they would have had to have a weekly budget of $10 trillion, which would pay off the US national debt in three weeks.

He was born into an upper-middle class family and coasted on family money until it got him firmly entrenched

Please try to make up more plausible falsehoods, or at least more entertaining ones, since your current ones are easily dismissed by a search on his youth. On this side of reality, as opposed to your alternate version, up to age 14 he was raised by a "divorced single mother" who was a "substitute art teacher", and they lived in a "tiny one-bedroom apartment on Manhattan's Upper West Side". When he was 14, his mother remarried, this time to a "major in the Air National Guard". Not to a business owner or bank board member or anything similar. At this point rms and his mother moved into the middle class, but still not your "upper-middle class" since e.g. they moved into a more spacious apartment, not a house in the suburbs. To see what "upper-middle class" looks like check out Marty's family at the end of the first Back to the Future movie. It is delusional to think that a substitute art teacher and a major in the Air National Guard have enough money to buy a Harvard degree for someone who cannot make it on skill.

Also, in addition to the opinions of university mathematics professors who were Stallman's classmates not receiving any answer of substance, you would also have to believe that Gerald Sussman was such a clueless chap that he would hire anyone as a research assistant, and he just randomly hired Stallman. You may have heard of this Sussman fellow.

he's an inveterate parasite

So someone who gives away the fruits of his labor, to the benefit and improvement of the programming community, is "an inveterate parasite". I also guess you've never heard that the free software community functions as a gift economy. The Ministry of Truth could probably easily find a position for you. Tell me again which continent we have always been at war with.
