Whenever I read a story on RMS, something he said or done, it's always about something beyond the comfort level I can imagine.
I wonder if he refuses to drive because of the closed source on-board computer. I wonder how he feels about the flight control system of the Boeing when he's flying.
I deeply respect him for his dedication but find him lunaticly extreme in almost all the cases.
- donaq 16y agoHe sets an unrealistically high standard that others can fall short of but still be somewhere good. Not everyone can be a superhero (to borrow Steve Yegge's description of RMS), but just knowing that they exist can inspire ordinary people to behave better. Free software is not as important to me as it is to RMS, but it would be even less important if I didn't find him inspiring.
