Does RMS really prefix his emails with this paranoia?
Why would the NSA want to read the emails of that tinfoil hat freetard. How does he have such an unwarranted sense of self importance? Deluded faggot.
>>52414861
Because that 'faggot' is an important technological figure and he made the GNU license.
But your faggy gaymer ass won't understand that
>>52414889
Being important to like 20 people isn't being important. Stop being such a faggot. He's like a less funny Terry Davis.
>>52414861
>Why would the NSA want to read the emails
they actually do it. it comes to the eyes of a human as soon their computers finds "triggering" words or relationships, especially international ones.
>>52414972
So? Shit like that probably stops terrorist attacks.
>>52414861
He's crazy. Now if he had done espionage I could understand but he's just a paranoid hippy thinking the government is out to get him.
>>52414997
So you're letting other people read your email for a 'probable' reduction in terrorist attacks.
Where are the attacks they've stopped?
You've sold your privacy and you don't even know if you're safer or not. Imagine buying a car and then being told you probably have a car now. Thanks but can I drive it? Maybe.
>>52414861
He supports free speech, that's enough to get your name on some lists.
By the way, there's a misconcpetion that NSA goes after "this" or "that" individual guy for whatever reason, in reality their system is massively bulk-collecting *all* internet traffic that passes through the US borders, there're 10 Gbit/s sniffers places on your ISP backbone.
Your torrents, the SSL traffic of 4chan from your pc, etc all is being recorded as you read this, even if you aren't under any investigation.
>>52415029
Yes. Because actual human lives mean more to me than a perceived 'threat' to my privacy.

The snowden leaks revealed that the NSA thinks linux enthusiasts are terrorists, not even joking
>>52415044
More people die every year tangled in their bed sheets than from terrorist attacks, so should we place cameras on every bedroom so the goverment can keep us safe?
>>52414997
>So? Shit like that probably stops terrorist attacks.
>he believes in le bona fide meme
>>52415044
Friendly reminder.
>>52415044
You should look up what William Binney has to say about it, because he was part of the team that wrote the software reading your email.
He has more than enough evidence to prove the system does not work.
>>52415044
You missed the point.
The point is that we aren't safer. There's no evidence that we're safer, and if there WAS, they'd be parading it out to justify what they're doing. There's nothing, we're not safer because of this. If anything the obsession with backdoors and breaking encryption is making us less safe.
As for human lives meaning more than human lives, what is a life without humanity?
Liberty or death? What was that?
Not to mention
>>52415070
We should be spying on bed sheets. You're more likely to die in the shower, or be killed by your toilet. Let's put cameras there so when a shower accident happens the police can turn up right away. Or better yet, have the police right outside the door so when they see you slipping they can burst in and catch you.
>>52415101
...yeah if you're a threat to national security like that traitor.
>>52415111
They foil hundreds of small and large scale attacks every year.
>>52415070
>tangled in their bed sheets
How does this happen?
>>52414814
stallman. the freetard that doesn't track you.
>>52415111
Hell they're not even lying. There's NO STOPPED TERRORIST ATTACKS AT ALL to even claim you stopped because of the spying.
>>52415115
Here's your response.
>>52415115
If you genuinely think Snowden is a traitor, please listen to the guy that did in the legal way.
>Binney repeated estimates that the NSA (particularly its Stellar Wind project[17]) had intercepted 20 trillion communications "transactions" of Americans such as phone calls, emails, and other forms of data (but not including financial data). This includes most of the emails of US citizens. Binney disclosed in an affidavit for Jewel v. NSA[18] that the agency was "purposefully violating the Constitution".
>"purposefully violating the Constitution".
>>52415115
>current year
>willingly being a cuck
Friendly reminder that if Snowden did it openly and got away with it, nothing can guarantee you that dozens of other NSA agents aren't doing the same... in secrecy, WHICH IS WORSE. You'll never know what they're selling to foreign governments, those are REAL traitors.
You're just a cuck anyway and probably won't understand this, too much for your stagnating brain.
Does he have a normal PhD?
>>52414923
He's important to more people than you are. He's important to everyone who uses Linux, and uses GNU licensed software, considering Linux runs on supercomputers, embedded devices, TVs, monitors, routers, switches, satellites, phones, and god knows what devices (which in total add up to a lot more than windows or OSX devices, get rekt), he's important to a whole load of people.
>>52415066
Because they are, you fucking sperglord.

First its a kennel
Now if you say you don't care or whatever, it's an obvious indicator you don't belong here
Secondly
It runs on more devices than windows and OSX, so go fuck yourself
>>52415315
>it runs on more devices
Yet almost nobody uses them other then you and your virgin friends?
>>52415295
>>thinks technology is only about an obscure operating system almost nobody uses (comparatively speaking to others)
what should we post about then? What is more technology than open source or operating systems?
>>52414997
Lol
>>52415353
If you actually think one, and only one topic deserves to be discussed on an entire imageboard then you belong here even less then I do.
>>52415262
Having a mental disorder doesn't make you a terrorist
They don't track every person with downs syndrome just in case they bomb something
>>52415066
There's terrorism and there's terrorism.
They claim it's is so open and free and including etc etc. But when people actually want to use it or ask for directions, they get the usual RTFM-treatment. I had the "privilege" of having one of these as a class mate.
And yet they wonder why Apple and manufacturers of all-in-one computers are doing so well. That little tidbit of information can't they swallow.
>>52414923
He's the only reason why you have a choise outside of microsoft kingdom today. He saved computing. He might have gone crazy in the process, but he saved computing.
Why is 'freetard' a thing anyways? As if valuing freedom was somehow pathetic.

>>52415242
And the caveman who invented the wheel should be the most important person in history right?
RMS is simply a living artifact. Maybe he did help kick-start the core on which all the stuff you mentioned was developed, but he's done absolutely nothing afterwards - it's entirely the hard work of millions of people around the world. His job was done decades ago, and he shouldn't be allowed to assign the achievements of others to himself because of that one thing he did.
>>52415518
Code he personally wrote like GCC is still in use in every OS to this day
>>52415384
how is anybody in this thread telling you to only discuss linux?
it just so happens that tech hobbyists like open source, and that linux is the greatest open source project yet, so almost anything that's open source is somehow linux related. That's why it's discussed so often, it's the biggest project of hobbyist technology which this board is about.
give me a list of things that you want to discuss here then
>>52415503
because fuck the rest of the world and fuck human rights, only the US deserve protection, the other nations exist solely for our interest and we should interfer only if they pose a threat to us.... or that's what this cuck actually believes.
>>52415518
Did you ever see his tweets or the posts he leaves around the web? his active campaign for the freedom of speech is more than enough to fall under the aim of surveillance agencies. You don't even know who you're talking about.
>>52415503
To protect their hamburgers.
>>52415425
He has quite a lot of awards, see pic related
>>52415518

And where did the BBC get that information from?
>>52415175
All lies. Obama said so.
>>52415428
I wonder where BSD would be if not for linux. I should learn some more unix history for these threads.
But I'm sure apple would've not have pushed for absolute freedom in the same way RMS does. If there was no GNU, there would probably be open source, but not free software.
>>52415485
learn some unix history
>>52415610
The guy that literally wrote the software they use to collect the emails is lying about?
Yeah probably, I'm sure the day to day harassment he receives from NSA agents for fake whistleblowing is worth it
>>52415175
>"purposefully violating the Constitution".
NSA is an unfunny meme and should just stop. If you allow them to do as they please and shit on the constitution, nhuman rights will be next and when you lose human rights, it's not something you can joke about anymore, unless you want to live in a 3rd world shithole like NK.
>>52415566
Almost none from 1st world countries.
I can get all of these in Gana and Nigeria too in a week.
>>52415763
This is some otherworldly tier damage control
Accept it, the guy got those awards for good work and talent
>>52415845
Compared to ppl in 3rd world countries, who are poorer and less talented than the avarage american.
you better accept the reality brother
>>52415858
the "average american" is incredibly retarded because most people belorg to the big 3 groups of stupidity: niggers, rednecks and liberals. So I honerstly believe the average person from Peru is much more intelligent than the average american.

That alone fucking rekts all the other awards, and he has that in addition to all the others. You're just dumb as shit

Stop talking shit. You're just sad that a guy like Stallman is more loved, popular, and smarter than your pathetic ass. Go jerk it to your anime and stfu.

Two of those degrees are from Swedish Universities, 1986 and 1996. And before you say "lol mudslimes" this was before that was a factor. Sweden has always been on the forefront of computer technology. Hell, you americans are creaming your pants over Google Fiber when it's been a fact of life in Sweden for ten years at least.
Hell, I'm a uni student with a pretty cheap internet connection and i get 250 down and 10 up.
>>52416115
He's popular with like 20 freetard morons, most people ironically 'like' him in the way that /pol/ likes Putin. Cos it's kinda funny. Not because he's worth liking.

>honorary doctorates
>still calls himself Dr Stallman in his email header
Kek. What a fucking unwarranted sense of self importance. Steve Jobs got an honorary doctorate, did he ever call himself Dr Jobs? Stephen Colbert got an honorary Doctorate, apart from making a joke about it did he ever call himself Dr Colbert?
No. Because calling yourself a doctor when you have an honorary Doctorate is fucking pathetic. Why do you freetards worship this fat faggot again?

nice shilling you corporate cuck
What a fucking fedora. I mean, fine not celebrating Christmas when you're Jewish I get, but celebrating Grav-mas, a celebration of Isaac Newton is insane. For one, Newton was deeply religious and a life long Anglican, so much so that some of the modern day religious Canon is based off work Newton did while working with the Church. Secondly it's just such fucking attention seeking behaviour. Grown men don't act like that.
Stallman is a fucking faggot and has no redeeming features.
