Well good for him. But we have to let go of this notion that for GNU/Linux to win, Apple has to lose. I'm paraphrasing but can't shake that feeling when I hear those claps in the video. When are we ever going to grow up?
- tyingq 4y agoI'd summarize it more as him saying he's choosing to opt out of Apple's direction because he doesn't like it. Was there something beyond that...calling for Apple's demise?
- nntwozz 4y agoI'm referring to the audience laughing and then clapping when he mentions he's depressed about Apple.
- rcstank 4y agoWhat’s wrong with other people agreeing? Maybe they like Linux too. Also, why does it matter to you if people have a different opinion?
- nntwozz 4y agoTo answer your questions, nothing and it doesn't. The laughter and clapping just reads as puerile to me. On a tangent I'm very fond on GNU/Linux, I run a Debian homelab plus some Pi 4s. I also use Macs since 2006.
- filmgirlcw 4y agoI was in the audience and I certainly didn’t clap. It wasn’t the whole crowd (tho it was most of it, as one would expect at a major Linux community conference), but I rolled my eyes by the crowd reaction too — tho I don’t blame/judge/fault people for their reaction. I’ve always been the Mac user at the Linux conference (and I like Linux very much, but I like it on the server or an RPi) and you know going in it’s like wearing Yankees hat to a bar full of Red Sox fans.
- solarkraft 4y agoI don't read it like that. I interpret it as people just really liking Linux.
- superposeur 4y agoNote: this was at a linux conference.
- nntwozz 4y agoHehe, yeah. I saw Stallman in Gothenburg 2007 and even bought his book Free Software, Free Society. It was memorable, getting flashbacks now from him eating toe jam/callous skin from his foot.
