Petition to remove RMS and have Torvalds as the stickied post.
RMS is just a retarded politician. Doesn't know shit about programming. Torvalds, on the other hand, is, I believe, the best programmer on the planet.
Vote here: http://www.strawpoll.me/12147066
Already been tried and will fail because torvalds isn't memeable. memes are all that matters. also torvalds doesn't respond to shit e-mails because his time is valuable. rms responds to every last one which encourages losers to send them more and screencap it
>>58560826
Linus actually gets shit done and therefore is not an appropriate mascot for /g/
RMS on the other hand is a useless idealist and is perfect to represent the autistic NEETs that frequent /g/
>>58560826
While Torvalds is an admirable figure, I don't really think he has enough honorary doctorates to lead us.
this guy. he's the original and the two you are asking for are just shitty clones.

>>58561436
That's not a picture of Gary Kildall, anon.
I'd say RMS is more like a retarded vegetarian. He has a cause and he is vocal about it to a fuckwit level. And in the end, he only manages to harm the cause he's working towards because of his obnoxious behaviour.
Not to mention he has hot opinions on other things, like fucking children.

Unix and everything that comes with it (including C) are absolute garbage and you are a moron if you think otherwise. There's a reason pic related is the only relevant OS out there. I have been in this industry since Netware was a thing, and since then the only times I've ever seen Unix were legacy applications that we were in charge of migrating to Windows.

I'm gonna assume you meant Christianity not tech in that last sentence. Sure, retarded fundamentalists which make up such a very small faction within the church as a whole might be against science but if you look at mainstream denominations like Catholicism, Orthodox, Lutheranism, and Anglicanism there is an emphasis on reason and more often than not they they seek to understand the faith alongside scientific advancements. The more we learn about biology and the universe the better, it helps us appreciate God's creation. Fuck fundamentalists they make the rest of us look like assholes

Pretty disputable book. (fact-wise)
Another thing to point out is that we never had true communism on this planet (no private property and no token exchange system at all). All systems labeling themselves "communism" are and have been variations of the market system, which higher active state coercion, that's it.
However, if you don't agree with me for whatever irrationally rooted reason, at least understand that based on that book, a economic system can cause such societal determent, on such a massive scale. Why wouldn't capitalism have the same possibility.y

All I am saying is that I have read the Communist manifesto in German (I speak German, but this was hard af) and English (simplified language), and have noticed these it's definition and discrepancies with what is happening in "Communist " China for example.
Adding to my argument is the fact that various respected economists agree with this obvious difference. Communism does not have money, private property or a hierarchy (at least in the way we know it).
Communism is pretty old however, but, and due to mechanization and information based labor, has become obsolete.
Scientific communism is much more up to date, one could also call "Fully Automated Luxury Communism". A more fleshed out proposed system would be an NLRBE (look it up).
The market system, along with capitalism will fail, and is failing, that is for sure. You can keep being an ignorant cunt who feels attacked in his very person, by simply talking about these topics. or perhaps learn something.

I am not claiming that the socioeconomic conditions in Soviet Russia were anything close to good.

>RMS is just a retarded politician. Doesn't know shit about programming.
Only newfags would actually believe this. Do some basic fucking research.
RMS is an incredibly accomplished programmer and did much of the programming work in the beginning days of the GNU project. He had a good stretch in the MIT AI Labs working on LISP machines, and before then worked as a research assistant under pic related.
You could probably rightfully argue that he's pretty rusty these days, but in his heyday he could be mentioned in the same sentence as Linus and the rest of your programming heroes.
>>58565064
>Not an argument. Ancap is the most unrealistic ideology there is. It becomes feudalism in 1-2 generations
Just like ansoc, and like any-soc, which have actually become totalstatist dictatorships in 1-2 weeks. Do realise the point is not about ancap, which does not represent me, but about the "state capitalism" excuse.

My parents and my sister are very religious and religion is for stupid people.
The arguments for religion is "muh morals and muh community", but there is many things that christian people think is morally wrong that is in the bible, so morality is a stupid argument, and there are other groups of people you can meet that doesn't involve religion, but I guess it makes more sense to meet a bunch of people.
But there are people who give 10% of their income to their church which is ridicules.

We also never had true facism. All so called "facist" regimes are merly imposters who labeled themselves facist because [reason no one but me understands].
You have to understan that TRUE facism would never kill anyone and would never cause any wars but because TRUE facism has never been tried you are obviously blinded by the impostors who merely pretended to be facist.
Really if you bellieve in the HOLOHOAX you obviously have fallen for the propaganda of [insert ideology that actually works] TRUE facism is obviously peacefull.
I am a TRUE facist and although I LOVE HITLER he wasnt a true facist because it wasnt true facsim because my retarded idologie could NEVER be wrong.
I dont get people hating on my ideology just because its most prominent leader caused mulitible genocides and millions of people died, these FOOLS obviously dont understand that this was NOT REAL FACISM, because I say so.
