Solid proof? The emails he sent to the mailing list is the proof. What hate exactly? It seems there's plenty of people even on this site defending him. Could explain what you're implying that I'm missing?

How old is this man? He's not stupid. He knows what he's doing. What a cop out to say "no he was just really hung up about grammar. "

Why can't you have a reasonable discussion? Stallman emailed a big mailing list for a computer science department the following about a child sex trafficking victim: "The reference reports the claim that Minsky had sex with one of

Oh. I didn't realise Stallman's rigid stance to freedom of software also extended to having sex with children and victims of sex trafficking. It's amazing how much hanging out in the tech world you don't hear anything ab

DNS is a plaintext protocol. It's a new technology. Technically this is better. It reminds me of this silliness I sometimes hear: "I need to use NAT with IPv6 to protect my network" Firefox will allow you to set up a DNS rule

Oh no. Maybe you can configure this? https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/customizing-firefox-usi... Or perhaps use their canary domain to force Firefox to use local DNS? Or just configure it yourself? It's n

Sounds like he was talking about something specifically to their network. There's not some magic thing that everyone should be doing that will give 100% cell coverage. It's a two way radio. The transmitter needs to talk to the pho

Imgur.com is free to host images and hot link embed them anywhere. So yeah, I guess it's to save bandwidth.

They funded a homophobic political campaign. Websites started user agent detecting Firefox and putting banners saying to not use Firefox because of their homophobic CEO. It's pathetic that people like you hide behind censorship argumen

Okay? So you probably also don't trust Microsoft. Well then if you use Linux, it's pretty secure. But most money goes into headless servers. Do you trust the GNOME project, is it well funded? Or KDE or whatever. Actually fundament

If you can't sell the art you make with an design application, you would be a fool to invest time in learning it using a student license. Unless you thought it'd get you a job.
