out of interest, exactly what does stallman do for the world these days?

stallman did something for the world when he wrote the first cut of GCC.

what else did he do besides get well known for the work of others?

esr never did anything

he was never useful to open source and he hasn't had a job in 20 years. his last job, 20 years ago, was systems administrator for a not-for-profit rural isp

quote:

The Clang and LLVM developers reach different conclusions from ours
because they do not share our values and goals. They object to the
measures we have taken to defend freedom because they see the
inconvenience of them and do not recognize (or don't care about) the
need for them. I would guess they describe their work as "open
source" and do not talk about freedom. They have been supported by
Apple, the company which hates our freedom so much that its app store
for the ithings _requires_ all apps to be nonfree. (*)

quote:

* If a binary is made from published source code, but you can't
install your binary of a modified version of that source code, the
binary is proprietary even if the source code is free. (See
http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-sw.html.) A binary in Apple's
app store may be made from published free source code, but under
Apple's rules and Apple's DRM, the binary can't be free.

He actually doesn't matter about that. The sin is running non-free software on your computer. It's unfortunate if the grocery store uses non-free software for their PoS terminal, but that's their sin, not his.

So, visiting this website, he doesn't care what software is running on the backend, since he's not running proprietary software. The exception to this, of course, is if you are required to run non-free JavaScript delivered by the website in order to use it. This website degrades fine without non-free JavaScript, so it's acceptable.

heres something epic i learned today that i MUST share

if you do the control sequence ~C in an ssh session it brings up a menu you can use to forward ports

and if you use ~# it shows all your forwarded ports
