what's great is between doing this annoying thing with his teeth ("i have a fascination with making sounds with my body") he'll tell you sad stories about past loves and also how much he loves birds.

i can't believe rms is just pining away, wistfully dreaming of the day a parrot will dry hump him again

rms was largely right about a lot of things wrt to his areas of expertise (computers, and the narrow band of politics around them) and wildly out of his depth about virtually every other possible facet of life on planet earth.

I agree with the sad nerd who was never wanted and was never forced to grow up assessment.

i would wager its very frustrating to see your lifes work - retaining the freedom of software from commerical interests - get hijacked as the primary shared development model for megacorporations like apple, facebook and google.

"retaining the freedom of software from commerical interests" i think is a bit of a conflation

yeah i dont wanna get into the weeds on this but sure. What I'm tryin to say here is that he has a big problem with non-gpl licenses and that's all anyone uses and I can imagine that this feels like someone hijacked your lifes work after you did all the heavy lifting.

that happens to literally everyone on the planet who has ever had a boss or worked for a corporation. everyone just goes to the bar and gets over it. rms is the only guy who won't loving shut up about it.

thats not really so much a great parallel but i'm not gonna argue with sagebrush about it

idk if there's really anything to learn. desktop linux in 2021 is just as easy to install and use as osx or win10.

like if you wanna get into the weeds then its gets weird but so do the other ones.

he hosed a parrot remember

uhh its really more precise to say that he was dry humped by a parrot and while he said he found the experience "Immensely pleasurable," I dont think it's accurate to say that he in fact hosed a parrot.
