Disaster Richard Stallman resigns from the Free Software Foundation and his position at the MIT

RMS has resigned from some honorary position at MIT.

2019: July - October Political Notes - Richard Stallman

Spoiler: 16 September 2019 (Resignation)

To the MIT community,
I am resigning effective immediately from my position in CSAIL at MIT. I am doing this due to pressure on MIT and me over a series of misunderstandings and mischaracterizations.

people in this thread are talking about how unfair all this shit is to men and ya I get that... but this sucks for women too

just think of how many women get propelled to a position they can't possibly hope to meet the expectations of and how stressful that must be, and in the long run it's just going to make men never ever ever depend on a woman for anything because they're almost guaranteed to be underqualified

and that's got to make everyone desperate to find scapegoats about why the system isn't working other than the obvious truth that the woke bullshit is doing more harm than good....

Think of actually being Grace Hopper-tier and being assumed to be incompetent because of all the troons and dangerhairs forced up everyone's asses despite utter incompetence. Now you won't get credit for actually knowing what you're doing. Or even worse, actually being some dude who troons out but is otherwise competent, if such a person exists.

Pretty much everyone is screwed by this because software is going to suck and you'll just have to get used to sucking that corporate cock. Free software is as good as dead.

ugh. that is so weev. he sees himself in Stallman.

Both members of the tribe, so this is wholly unsurprising. At least Stallman isn't an insane misogynist.

In the pursuit of fairness, they perpetuated the worst unfairness of them all.

Strange and ironic it will end as it always has.

I'm supposed to feel sorry for a pedo defender because pedo trannys hated him?

This makes 0 sense.

Is your brain incapable of disliking two things at once or is that too difficult for you?

I understand. Your moral compass is broken. Here is a suggestion on how to go forward, be a functioning member of the society and be able to sleep at night - do the exact opposite, what any tranny wants.

They've invented a mental coping technique for dealing with these situations - it's called "Impostor Syndrome". Impostor Syndrome is a wonderful mental gymnastics tool for any diversity hire, with too much self-awareness and a shred of decency, who start feeling out of place and incompetent (correctly, I might add).

 

[Thought precriminal]

If you are ever in a position of power, never hire or associate with women or men pretending to be women.

You'll need to put them through an airport scanner

Stallman has been spergposting since before many Kiwis were alive, before the Internet was even a household word (does he still refuse to use webmail and print out his emails?) He is an epic autist. What if RMS was Chris and Sonichu was good? It'd be gcc. But to be fair, Chris is probably a little more autistic, and obviously not as smart, so he's obviously Null and if the farms were good they'd be egcsgcc. Which is really the only GNU program I've used outside of a few one-off projects with shit like gperf. EMACS basically is a literal symphony of autism, an operating system that is a text editor, sung in several shrilly autistic voices. I'm a vim guy, and in the past few years I mostly use clang. Of course my cp, ls, or even stuff like sed, yeah, I guess I use his, but alternate versions exist that are so exactly the same that only the most exponentially autistic people would care which ones they use (like RMS or people who refuse any "non-free software"...) Apart from gcc most of the GNU code is probably (C) circa 1994 and coded for a VAX; what lately worth noting?

RMS was/is obviously super smart but his autism would've been terminal long ago if Linus hand't chosen the GPL and happened to become a media darling, he is still permanently butmadd about that, and the GPL is exceptional in and of itself for many reasons, it's a fucking tankie/Stalinist document down to the Orwellian option of using "later versions" of the license (which will no doubt some day include pronouns.) I don't want to start a spergy slapfight or anything but I'm all for MIT/X11/BSD style licensing which is "free" "gratis" "libre" (with some restrictions) "libre" really means not "free as in speech" d/t the GPL. Nor is it "free as in beer." The GPL is free as in Communism (the Constitution of the USSR is really utopian, too!)

Speaking of which, it was on Usenet in linux-related groups (what a cluster of autism comp.os.linux.advocacy was) which lead me by the magic of clicking/typing in shit off people's fucking signatures and stuff, to find out stuff like what a furry was, and first encountered "gender neutral pronouns" and "the Elven community" and "technopagans." (Oh, and alt.drugs., which pretty much was formative in my development...) Autism begets autism begets autism. Whenever I see serious talk about Stallman I have to really remember that that overgrown Jewish hobbit is on a functional level with them, apart from the fact that he is a genius. But even that's fading.[/sneed]

Except that the women don't care that they can't meet expectations. In fact, the expectations are usually lowered for them, and even if they STILL fail to meet them it's never that they're underqualified--they get every excuse under the sun made for them. Any time the women who push this kind of stuff fail, unless it is a failure of absolutely galactic proportions and comes out very publicly, it'll either be swept under the rug or blamed on the "stress" of working in such a "toxic male-dominated industry". This is even more true with the way things are going, because the women who force themselves into the open-source communities are also toadies of big tech and will likely be propped up by companies like Google and Facebook as long as they dance to their tune. They won't even have to code, realistically, they will just creep into leadership positions and sell themselves out.

Also, most smart men already don't depend on women for things because they ARE underqualified. That's not an "in the long run" thing unless by that you mean the past 3,000 years and the foreseeable future.

that's silly. making excuses as to why you're not pulling your weight isn't a uniquely female thing, women do care, that's why scapegoats are being sought in the first place.

if you take women out of the equation, there would be men claiming they're not doing well by accusing people of homophobia or fatphobia or god knows what else

If you're insisting on exact 50/50 "representation" between two populations and a vast proportion of the competent people in the field in question are male, it's just a statistical certainty that you're going to have to pick unqualified females to force the numbers to match, and not hire qualified males.

And those men would be fired or at least reprimanded anyway because they don't have the privileged position that women hold in modern society. The issue isn't people making excuses for their incompetence, the issue is the fact that for certain classes of people the excuses WORK.

yeah exactly, I just think the behavior that's currently on display isn't due to any sort of genetic difference, this happens in just about every circumstance where an excuse can be made and there are people who will believe it

 

[4str4staleatherbelt]

I need a tldr on who this guy is and why I should care about him. Looking him up leads me to a video of him eating something off his foot at some conference.

Bullshit. Fat lads simply do not play off it like that.

 

[Happy Fish]

You know... it's moments like this that make Linus Torvalds' disavowal of the FSF that much more haunting when you take a look at the absolute state of IT/comp sci in the current year. I mean, I respect Stallman for all his accomplishments in actually promoting free software as a viable alternative to proprietary NDAware but for the love of GOD man... he really is a lolcow in his own regard.

Who the FUCK talks about Epstein on a public forum and actually says stuff like 'what if they consented tho?'

Not the first time Stallman said shit like that either. Then again I don't really care what kind of porn he got over free software. He is better than a retarded Bay Area goon with an agenda.

are you claiming women get treated like men in the workplace? in fucking [currentyear]? and let's say they are, how do you think people will react if a dude starts #metoo shit out of spite? while also ignoring the whole "men want to fuck and do almost everything for pussy" dynamic in mixed teams?

 

[CheezzyMach]

Unless they hold the "correct" politics or have minority status.

He wrote gcc, became an advocate for software communism and then he ate dead skin off his foot. Also he wrote the free software song.

tbh I never had a high opinion of him (even though I do realize he is a better programmer than me by a few magnitudes) but he didn’t deserve to get metood. Farewell big guy.

nope that wasn't what I was claiming, let me back up and put it this way

pretty much any group of people, of any gender/ethnicity/whatever, is going to act this way if you put them in positions they're not qualified for, and looking for a scapegoat isn't just a way to escape blame, it's a coping mechanism.

women absolutely do care about being seen as competent, their employer is telling them this is a job they should be able to do but they aren't measuring up. what would that say to your self-worth? it would fuck with anyone's brain

the solution is putting people in positions they're capable of doing, this diversity bullshit sucks for everyone
