That doesn't say you cannot combine it. It's saying what you have to do when you do combine it. It's not a restriction against combining it.

Dime, ¿podrías con facilidad memorizar unas 20-30 palabras claves en chino o en ruso? ¿Crees que esto impediría el uso de un lenguaje de programación?

I feel like I have to sound out things. It's important for me to be able to say "cp that over there" and I actually pronounce it as "copy" or say "ls" as "list". I think a lot in words and about

I did my bachelor's in maths in English and my master's in Spanish. I don't think my reasoning is very wordless, but I do think all of my reasoning is kind of geometric. I close my eyes and move my arms around to move a norma

I disagree (and if you want my credentials, I am Mexican). Being able to reason in your own language is a big help. I do this with mathematics in various ways. I can both easily say "sea equis una variable real tal que equis más ye son

"Latino" is kind of a cultural designation of the US to refer to Spanish speakers, although it is used somewhat outside of the US, but not as prominently. I am guessing this language was just being made in the US where Latino is a

Depende de cuáles hispanohablantes estemos hablando. Cierto es que muchos de nosotros simplemente hemos aceptado que la programación, por lo menos las palabras clave, estarán en inglés. Pero los novatos y aprendices que nunca han programado

The quality of the sites where each letter was promoted is not the same. That was my point. They weren't all promoted to the same people and the type of signatories show: people who actually work on the software vs people who don'

I saw the letter being drafted and promoted in /g/ and if you go there now you'll find threads talking about it, I bet. But it is 4chan and threads don't stay up long or get archived, so you can be content in thinking I&

> It was not "promoted in the Eastern bloc" Yes it was, the counterletter was posted on Russian forums a number of times, and it was regularly promoted in 4chan's /g/ too, where it was also drafted. There's

One side of signatories is writing the free software we all use and has regularly and directly dealt with rms. The other side is shitposting in 4chan and probably has never had to meet rms. Yeah, the quality of the signatories is obvious.

So, now you've read what I quoted about Stallman defending pedophilia, right? He calls it pedophilia, he says he's skeptical it's harmful. That's a defense. Now you have read something you had not read before. I am glad

The counterletter accepted signatures for longer than the original letter, and it was heavily promoted in the Eastern bloc, which is very sympathetic towards causes that exclude women and other minorities. The original letter is signed by m

How are his views not important when the entire mission of the FSF is to spread a very particular point of view? When RMS is advocating for zoophilia and necrophilia (he's finally relented on pedophilia, though, after many years of als

by jordigh 6y ago
Can we please stop armchair-diagnosing RMS and excusing his behaviour based on this armchair diagnosis? Or even worse, calling it a disability like Bruce Perens does, in some kind of effort to gain sympathy, or perhaps appeal to ADA? First

It's 4chan, sources don't stay up very long nor do they get archived by archive.org But if you go to /g/ now, you'll see plenty of activity around this letter.

Maybe it's gotten some steam on Twitter now, but it was drafted in 4chan. I saw early drafts in /g/. I think the 4chan culture is what's motivated the signers of the counterletter to be mostly anonymous or unknown.

Nah, the support letter was drafted in 4chan (I saw early drafts of it in /g/) and promoted in 4chan. It's gotten a bit more support elsewhere now, but it's a 4chan-led initiative, hence why it's signed by a bunch o

There is no rule. People just don't like it or don't want to see another flamewar, so they flag it.

The Epstein thing is a relatively minor incident of Stallman just being really stupid about what hill to die on and when. In the most charitable interpretation of it, he's defending Minsky as an ingenue who couldn't possibly have

Nobody's saying we should scrub RMS from existence. Just don't secretly put him in charge of the FSF, without warning, and announce it during Libreplanet like it was his birthday party. Nobody from the FSF even knew this would hap

"Cult of personality" doesn't literally mean someone's personality. It means making a cult out of a person. The way people are saying that attack rms is attacking free software itself is very much a cult of personality.
