I've gone to a fair few lectures by Stallman and got to hang out and chat with him afterwards. 1) He is really serious about his crummy coffee. Like, he was brewing a pot on stage as he was talking at like 9pm. Like, a Walmart brand drip coffee maker, none of this french-press stuff. 2) He has a really bad 'dead fish' handshake. Like, Really bad. 3) He is SUPER dedicated to what he does and that is super admirable. I wish his vision of software and hardware was the default idea, not the corpo-spy state that we have eneded up with. That world would be a lot better. But it's asking far to much of people with only an 8th grade reading level. 4) He actually is really cool to hang out with and talk to. However, he is for more matured and knowledgable people. He kinda talks over the new CS peeps and really doesn't have time for them and their questions. He's not a professor and that shows. 5) Unsupprisingly, he's not good with millenial/gen-z women. Some of it is that he's from a different generation and he hasn't been in the same world as them, some of it is the sterotype that he is a nerdy, doughy, Linux guru. He could be better, but he's not as bad as a Google exec. by any means. 6) All the lecutres I went to where he was speaking were amazing and have really shaped a lot of my brain around software and what it is. Time very well spent.
