What the GNU/Hell am I reading?

And here you have it.

The degeneracy of juden knows no bounds.

Never trust a pinko, never trust a jew, and most importantly:

NEVER EVER TRUST A PINKO JEW

Posting private correspondence without the approval of every correspondent is a despicable act.

Just saying.

I would agree for most correspondence, but Richard is a public figure and knows that his email correspondence with strangers is routinely made public both on "inane" Hmong art scroll websites and in other fora, and probably writes with that in mind. I suspect that if he wanted the information in an email to be kept private, he would ask the other party to do so. Of course, as you can tell from his signature, he's quite aware that email sent in plaintext is routinely read, or at least scanned, by intelligence agencies. So if he really REALLY wanted it to be private, he'd probably be using GNUPG. It's free as in freedom (tm).

I recall that he's also published some of his email correspondence on his website, though I don't recall whether he noted that he got the other persons' permission first.

It is just as possible that he expected the total opposite. You also show your bias by presuming that in both cases (clear text messages are to be kept private, encrypted messages are to be kept private) he is expected to do something, and you are not expected to do anything.

You seem to have less respect for Stallman than corporations have.

>>547630

You are correct that I don't have much respect for Stallman.

I appreciate some of the things he's done and the consequences they've had in the world. But those are all, frankly, a byproduct of Stallman's aneurotypicality. His lifestyle and choices might look like a sacrifice to someone who's not familiar with him, but they're not. He does exactly what he wants to do and nothing else. He's utterly selfish. He's just managed to build an ethical framework around his selfishness, and it happens to have had some beneficial effects for other people. He started the free software movement because he couldn't get access to a printer driver he wanted to modify. His entire impetus for starting the free software movement was to create a world in which he could get access to the source code he wanted. He is situated on the autism spectrum in such a place that he realized that he wouldn't be able to persuade the world to give access to him, personally, so he framed it in terms of ethics and sharing with your "neighbor". If there had been some license in the 70s that guaranteed Richard M. Stallman access to all the world's source code in perpetuity, he wouldn't have given a fuck about anyone else having it.

The point of this digression is that whether Stallman regarded this correspondence as private or not, I don't really care, because if Stallman were in the position of deciding whether to make some correspondence public, he would do whatever he wanted and formulate an ethics around that.

That's a textbook example of projection.

>He does exactly what he wants to do and nothing else.

That's what you call a real man.

>>547650

That's a textbook example of not having paid much attention in freshman psych.

>>547609

>>Could I be an honorary woman?

probably missing the comma

>Could I be an honorary, woman?

>>547609

Stallman is Jewish, and Jews tend to have a lot of mental illnesses.

Unsubstantiated assumptions based on a public facing image/persona/consensus of/about a public figure.

This could be said of most people but it's probably not incorrect.

HOW ABOUT THAT TECHNOLOGY

Why do you people think stallman says everything in 100% seriousness? The "could I be an honorary woman" line was clearly in jest, he's not a completely serious autist.

I mean, have you seen him in his Spanish dancing gear?

Should have gotten the fucking hint the first time your non-technology shitpost thread got deleted, dumbass.
