Just donated 200 bucks to esr.
Why don't you do the same, /g/? He's pretty poor, but yet provides programs you pretty much use every day.
And I'm usually the guy that tries to save money wherever possible.
The only open source software i use is the little bits and pieces apple decided to open source. I doubt any of that involves some cock-eyed ugly loser though
What does he provide
>>51389715
>2015
>admitting using homOSeX
Don't do this. Seriously.
>>51389715
>>51389836
Not OP but I have read he's written something you almost certainly use every day. I don't think you should donate, I was just saying. I use Linux every day but don't throw money at Torvalds.
>>51389859
>On the internet
>accidentally giving away the fact you don't go outside

>>51389836
to you directly? nothing, other than books you might read.
To the world? Things like gpsd, which you are most definitely using if you use GPS.
>>51389890
I'm not donating to a cock-eyed retard who was too dumb to patent GPS
Ook was hij voorstander van de invasie van Irak door de VS in 2003.
Sounds like an asshole
>>51389940
He is. He's so butthurt that people don't care about him lol
why does his name sound like an x86 register?
I'd sooner put $200 towards researching how to cure cock-eyed retards than donate to a cock-eyed retard directly
>>51389686
Nice try, esr.
I remember when git tip was a thing esr got like $2.17 a month from it while a bunch of sjw chicks were pulling like $1700 a month just in donations
>>51389686
If there's anybody worse than Stallman, it would be this guy
>Dim-witted neoconservative
>Started the "open source initiative" to make Free Software more 'business friendly', killing the anti-corporate message of the movement
>Gotten so desperate for attention that he's involved with muh gaymergate shit now
I'm glad nobody remembers him anymore.
Who?
>>51390424
This is true.
>>51390293
He looks like a fucking x86 register.
>>51390639
Faggot who wrote a bunch of books which no one reads.
>>51390542
sjw fuckers make a donation ring a send money to each other
>>51390586
>>51391133
how ?
He's a buttmad asshole. I like rms better. RMS is the coolest autist alive.
>>51391133
She looks so '90s and that's ok.
esr is literally insane
you money were better spent on rms or even the Linux Foundation
>>51389686
ESR is brilliant. However his political ideologies scare me away from giving him any moneys.
His musings on gun ownership are fairly enlightening however.
Also the subject of one of my fav abandoned comics.

Didn't he contrib to ipv4
>>51391133
Top kek
>>51389686
At least, with Stallman, there's the beauty of the ideal and the ethics. With Esr, I only see a desperate attention whore trying to grab some money. Maybe I should buy that dedicated RMS pic.
>>51389715
he literally wrote the backbone of the gps in your iphone
>>51389932
Unlike what you think GPS is not a 'one man's invention'
GPS technology had lot of contributors.
>>51389686
> committed his life to free software
> complains he is poor
self fulfilling prophecy then...
>>51392777
everyone knows GPS was made by the government to track every vehicle on earth
>>51389715
>decided to open source
Apple literally took a bunch of open source. A lot of it gets used in ways daily that you don't even think of.
>>51390586
>killing the anti-corporate message of the movement
Isn't that why it's popular today?
>>51394649
>implying OS X has 0% 1st party open source code
>>51389932
You'd have to be pretty dumb to try and patent technology developed by the US Department of Defense
>>51394748
Did the US government really come up with general satnav tho or just one implementation of it?
>>51394765
GPS isn't an umbrella term for satnav, it's a form of it. The US government developed GPS specifically.
