Face it. He's a try-hard. He calls himself Dr. Stallman despite only having honorary degrees. That would be like Kanye West calling himself Dr Kanye West. But he doesn't because even he knows that's pretentious.
If Kanye West is less pretentious than you, you're doing something wrong.
Stallman is a gargantuan faggot who calls himself a 'doctor' without having gained a PhD, destroys any credibility he has by acting like an ass "I'm not glad he's dead but I'm glad he's gone" and his only real claim to fame is contributing to the creation of Linux.
Without Linus and Linux the GPL and FSF would have faded into obscurity. They only reason anyone pays them any heed now is because of the (negligible) help it gave Linus back in the early days of Linux.
If anything the FSF should rename itself Linux/FSF, simply because the Linux project and Linus are the only reason anyone would pay them any attention now.
Stallman's work is just a footnote in the history of Linus's achievements. He should be grateful for that, otherwise he would be nothing.
Demanding people call Linux GNU/Linux is audacious.
>wrote emacs
Contributed to guy steele's TECO macros, later cloned gosmacs, the actual first emacs for UNIX. If stallman wrote emacs, apple is the sole creator of webkit.
>wrote gcc and gdb
He wrote the C compiler initially, but the vast majority of development for other compilers and the C compiler has came from non-stallman sources.
And he hasn't programmed in years. Stallman is washed up, and his justifications for copyleft are horribly invalid nonsense that would make more sense if they were actual thinly veiled communism instead of selfish ramblings and a desire for a world that catered to his specific social class.

Stallsham is the ultimate streetshitter.
Look at the dirty fuck. You know after this picture the 'boys' took him round to the local designated shitting street
>>54680410
>Stallman is a gargantuan faggot who calls himself a 'doctor' without having gained a PhD
true, but he has been awarded multiple "honorary doctorates" though
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard_Stallman#Honors_and_awards
>>54680662
So does JK Rowling, but even despite her ground breaking research into Wizards she declines to call herself a Doctor despite her 7 honorary degrees.
>>54680712
If I was a prof at MIT I'd call myself doctor
>>54680725
As is your prerogative, but if you only had an honorary doctorate it would be the perogative of everyone else to think you're a pretentious cunt.
He never refers to Linus as Dr Torvalds.
>>54680725
but he's not
being awarded a honorary doctorate does not give you the status of professor
>>54680743
>He never refers to Linus as Dr Torvalds
His entire career is based on taking credit for Linus's work. Why would he change that now?
>>54680766
He quit his job as prof for the GNU project
>>54680743
Does Linus want to be called that?
>>54680725
You can get honorary doctorates for donating to certain universities. It's universally recognised that if you call yourself a Doctor when you only have honorifics you're attention seeking.
When did he refer to himself as Dr.?
>>54680780
Linus knows better than to dress himself in borrowed robes.
>>54680780
>He quit his job as prof for the GNU project
a job yes, but not titled professor
>>54680798
All the time
>>54680789
If I were a prof at MIT I'd call myself doctor.
>>54680802
If Linus doesn't want to be called it then don't complain when stallman doesn't call him it.

>I would call myself a doctor despite not having a PhD or finishing my masters
So effectively all you're telling us is that Stallmanites are as morally bankrupt as their faggot leader? What a surprise.
The guy has accomplished more than me or you. Sometimes I judge people who have done more than me, but I don't feel a need to shit talk them...
I usually agree with Stallman but don't actively follow through because that would be impractical. To follow through you have to be an activist, willing to give up convenience.
Still, he's been proven correct time and time again (at least when it comes to computers -- not other things.) And this world would probably be better with more activists. Just not the kind who interrupt traffic.
Please calm down OP, the guy has made mistakes but has generally done good.
>>54680876
Lots of people achieve a lot in the tech world. They don't pretend to be doctors when they're not.
He's a pretentious attention seeker.
>>54680876
Stallmanite damage control. Feel 'free' to kill yourself.
>>54680869
He's done more for the compiler and OS field than most people, let alone most PhDs. He definitely deserves his titles. Hell, even his work at the MIT AI lab is enough
>>54680919

>>54680869
>I would call myself a doctor despite not having a PhD
But he has a PhD
>>54680961
No he doesn't, he couldn't even finish his masters.
>>54680945
Lots of people write compilers. Lots of people were involved in the creation of Linux and Hurd. They don't pretend to be doctors.
>hell even his work at the MIT AI lab is enough
No, if you don't have a PhD you don't get to be called a Dr. Kanye West has the exact same right to call himself a Dr as Stallsham, he doesn't.
If honorifics call themselves Doctors it cheapens the title. He knows this and does it anyway because he loves the attention.
>>54680827
>Speak English, pajeet
great argument
>>54681008
>No he doesn't
Yes he does. He just got it through a nontraditional route. I understand that's hard to understand for a pajeet that went to a Java mill.
>>54681024
It wasn't an argument. We can hardly understand you.
>>54681034
Stallsham does not have a PhD, he couldn't even get a masters.
He loves to call himself a doctor though. Because he's an attention seeker.
How deep down the rabbit hole are you?
>>54681118

You're killing me pajeet!
>>54681098
>Stallmanite confirmed for being illiterate
What a surprise

>couldn't get his masters
>too stupid to figure out how to install Linux
Stallmanites are just a cult of personality, right?
I don't care very much that rms puts Dr in his email signature, so I will give him the benefit of the doubt and assume he is being cheeky or something.
>>54681227
>I don't care he's a fraud because of funny memes
How's being 12 treating you?
>>54681175
Where did he say he couldn't figure it out? The only one too stupid is you.
>>54681254
You have it backwards. I'm assuming it's something non-serious because I don't care much and don't have much to lose by assuming this way. I'm not not caring because of whatever he might be doing.
>>54681260
>can't install Linux
>demands it's called GNU/Linux
>can't get a masters
>demands to be called a Doctor
Face it, Stallsham is a fraud and you're just fanboys ignoring reality
>>54681273
Oh ok, so because you don't mind Stallsham fraudulently calls himself a Doctor everyone else does shouldn't either?
Yeah don't think that's how the world works Stallmanite. Sorry.
