What I always found bizarre about Stallman is the lengths he goes to make himself anonymous(no online purchases, fetching websites remotely and then emailing output). Yet at the same time, he's so prolific publicly in everything he preaches about.

- peatmoss 9y ago> prolific publicly in everything he preaches about. I think that's the key point: he's private where he's given no consent (i.e. being tracked on the web), and is public where he has chosen to... preach.
- overcast 9y agoTo the extent that you need a remote system to retrieve a webpage, and then email it to you so you can read it?! I mean come on here.
- peatmoss 9y agoYou can argue that is extreme (it's certainly more extreme than I'm able / willing to do), but your earlier comment was claiming a disconnect between his web browsing habits and the public persona that he maintains. I don't see his cultivated public persona at odds with his private desire to be un-tracked on the web.
