    Ok Boomer Stallman.

    Seriously though, do you really think being a pedantic jackass like Stallman actually ingratiates anyone to FOSS? Because it doesn't, just so you know. It's absolutely annoying eye-rolling shit for regular people. But sure, keep gatekeeping Linux as a place where only people with no fucking social skills get to use it or talk about it.

    Stallman and attitudes like his absolutely alienate people. Ignore that at your own peril, if you actually want growth in Linux adoption.

      Stallman is right about all his free software takes except his take that commercial free software is acceptable.

      (He also has a very bad take about they/them pronouns)

        And Epstein, don't forget his bad takes on connections with Epstein.

        Motherfucker is full of bad takes. Tired of people acting like he's something to look up to, even when I agree with a lot of his good takes. The tech community needs to get fucking self reflection and grow its social skills. People need to follow Linus Torvald's lead in realizing that he may not be perfect and may need to work on how he communicates.
