this man fights for your personal freedoms. why do you hate him?
>hate
RMS is a pretty cool guy. He copy left and doesn't afraid of interject.
> fights for *ME*
he's another self-centered faggot. "my GNU". "my personal glory for GNU's creation"
>>58858364
>is a fucking hippie
>doesn't shower
>eats footskin
>easily triggered
>autistic as fuck
Also loves to shit all over stuff like ARM and RISC-V, then bitches about how bad x86 is. He won't even use things like an iPod classic because of the non-free bootROM. He doesn't understand that not all proprietary code is abusing the user. He's also a pedophile.
I say this as a Debian GNU/Linux user with an encrypted hard drive typing this from a Librebooted T400.
He's too much of a principles zealot to be efficient in his fight
>>58858747
This.
See how triggered he got because gentoo calls itself linux, and not his awkward gnu/linux naming
I see RMS as an under appreciated hero
people dont know what we have to thank him for
even people in macos and windows have to thank him for a lot
I am personally really thankfull for gcc and emacs
Because I value my time
>>58858364
he's a communist trash.

What a retarded false analogy.
>programmers have to release their code to others who are willing to release their code and can't demand money for that
>therefore THEIR WORK IS WORTHLESS WOOOOW
By that logic:
>parents can't demand that children pay them, therefore their work is worthless
>pajeets codemonkeying for restrictive corporations that nick and dime everyone are the true freedom
Programmer's job isn't keeping secrets about his work. It's making software that does the job.
If FSF "stole" or "ruined" your job, it means you were doing something that was already done better and cheaper and thus you were obsolete.

1) Explain how FOSS is and Communism is related. FOSS and Communism are very well seperated. There have been many, many images distributed throughout /g/ that prove this point, so I don't find it necessary to make my case here. Stallman also disagrees with you.
2) Communism is not relevant here. We are talking about technology, and political philosophies do not exist in this domain. There are only software licenses.
3) If anything, open-source has HELPED get people jobs. It is obvious that the person that has posted the post in your screenshot has never applied for a technology-related or programming job, as most employers would want your Github on your resume.
>They devalue contributions that programmers make
In what way?
>They make it harder to find employment in the US as a programmer
See above
>They make it harder for programmers to get payed well
This is a lie.
>you're literally paying to have yourself fired
>implying developers aren't payed to work on FOSS projects

If anyone is trash, it is you.

Not if you post on /g/ you don't.

But that's wrong.

FUCK OFF COMMIES!
Go back to WORKING FOR FREE so a bunch of FSF jews can get rich off donations.

No he doesn't. The ACLU and EFF do.

I've never seen him get this pissed off before.

He was actually really calm and reasonable there though.
Here he got a bit pissed though

What's the backstory here?
>>58861804
A talk in Chile or wherever, the audience thought they could follow him if he did it in english but they couldn't.
>>58861758
Surprisingly decent Spanish
I don't but rather he doesn't help his case by eating his own toe/foot fungus, being a fat-ass neck-beard, etc. He could clean up his appearance as well. He's not very presentable and that just kills his figure and image for aspiration/inspiration to others.
>>58858364
Pedophilic commie-kike.
