  Next up: A Stallman slack bot that interjects into any conversations that mention "Linux" to remind everyone that it's "GNU/Linux"

    Sounds like a funny idea for a reddit bot.

    At least one tech-oriented IRC channel has this, probably dozens more.

    4chan's technology board had exactly this running for some time, with some extra features. It ended up being banned. If anyone wants to reuse it, the source code is on Github: https://github.com/stallmaninterjector/rms-on-steroids/blob/master/stallman.pl https://github.com/stallmaninterjector/rms-on-steroids/blob/...

    How did it go? :)

      Haven't seen it pop up yet. Most of us post screenshots on that channel where I set it up. Will check the code to see why.

  At first I was suspicious of this.. Slack sends every channel message out to be parsed by a script? That's not good! But once I looked at the source it all made sense. Yes, in order to operate properly you need to be sending every message in a channel to heroku so that it can do the .05% probability matching and not give a reply every time (or only on specific keywords). This is how most slack web hooks work. Looking at the source is very educational! I can't wait to take this whole solution and modify it with some company-specific features. It's really a wonderful introduction into using this Slack feature and to Heroku as well. Thanks for posting!
