Not getting his autographed books is one of my biggest regrets in life. Definitely top 5.
Looks like he doesnโ€™t do signatures any more, at least not for the books old at the online FSF shop. Understandable obviously.

This guy has a god complex because he ran a shitty knockoff unix clone as a toy project as an ad for his chuddy ideology and happened to be at the right place and the right time when linux was being written. His ideas about open source only made it into public awareness because he happened to network with the right guy and because of his copyright loopholes working as intended. He probably believes he is the reason linux took off.

Tim Cook is infinitely worse than Jobs. Richard was wrong. Sure they did a lot of anti-consumer shit but Jobs really gave a shit and would whip the retards at Apple into shape to get it done, Apple was easily at their best when he came back.

Apple and Microsoft did everything unethical they could. I remember when microsoft was threatening to sue companies that wanted to use linux by saying that they own patent on FAT file system and they cant use linux because it comes with FAT support

and microsoft did that knowing that linux had every legal right to implement FAT, as the law allows implementing software for compatibility, which is why gnu and wine is legal.
