    I don’t think calling yourself that is a good idea, seeing as Stallman supported pedophilia 😬

    [–] stinerman@midwest.social 27 points 1 year ago

    GNU/pedophilia

    Didn't he changed his mind after learning it wasn't okay?

    [–] woelkchen@lemmy.world 14 points 1 year ago (3 children)

    Didn’t he changed his mind after learning it wasn’t okay?

    He changed his public statements after huge backlash. He supported pedophilia for decades and after he got bad press to a degree it reached parts of the wider public he suddenly had an actual change of heart? No way.

    [–] robocall@lemmy.world -1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

    That's disappointing. Who is stallman?

    [–] TimeSquirrel@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

    GNU guy, he made a ton of Linux that's not Linux. GCC for example.

    [–] flamingos@ukfli.uk 13 points 1 year ago (1 children)

    It's importan to remember that Stallmen only considers people up to the age of 13 children.

    [–] JackGreenEarth@lemm.ee 9 points 1 year ago (1 children)

    Above 13 they're teenagers developmentally, even if they're legally minors. I'm not saying adults should have sex with them, but they'res a clear difference between a 4 year old and a 15 year old.

    [–] flamingos@ukfli.uk 17 points 1 year ago (1 children)

    Yeah, but pair it with the exact wording of how Stallman walked back the paedophilia comment:

    Many years ago I posted that I could not see anything wrong about sex between an adult and a child, if the child accepted it.

    Through personal conversations in recent years, I’ve learned to understand how sex with a child can harm per psychologically.

    [–] JackGreenEarth@lemm.ee 6 points 1 year ago

    I haven't read all of that, but I agree with most of it. No one should have sex with a non consenting partner, but there is a real pattern in society where people want to exaggerate sexual misdemeanours that people have done and call it pedophilia or sexual assault, as a sort of clickbait, when it is in reality more minor. I am also against other forms of clickbait or dishonest attention grabbing tactics, to remain consistent.

    And other people see any criticism of the rapidly expanding sphere of things which get categorised as sexual crimes as siding with abusers, rather than a more thoughtful approach.

    Richard Stallman is the textbook definition of "domain matter expert." When it comes to software and his philosophy of the four freedoms of software; everyone should heed his warnings.

    When it comes to everything else, take what this man says with a ~~grain~~ bottle of salt.

    Now if you identify as a Stallman-sexual because you have a toe jam fetish; I'm not going to kink shame you for it.

    [–] PipedLinkBot@feddit.rocks 1 points 1 year ago

    Here is an alternative Piped link(s):

    toe jam

    Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.

    I'm open-source; check me out at GitHub.

    I disagree and I think people who say that aren't very familiar with what he says on his blog. He spent his whole life fighting for justice and freedom, not just in software. He has many interesting opinions on other topics as well and I agree with many of them. For example, I agree that we should reject the term β€œsexual assault”, because it’s too vague and can mean almost anything, so instead we should use more precise terms. I'm not saying that he is never wrong, though.

    Now if you identify as a Stallman-sexual because you have a toe jam fetish; I’m not going to kink shame you for it.

    I think it's sad that someone uploaded a video of him doing something embarrassing just to make fun of him and other people share it. I wish people didn't behave like that.

    [–] lemmesay@discuss.tchncs.de 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

    that's one of the reasons why I disagree with people dunking on zuckerberg. they almost always make fun of his appearance.

    it's the ideas that matter, not the appearance.

    You mean that lizard guy ?

    I've been using fingerprint biometrics on my phone for years.

    You'll never see my memes.

    [–] possiblylinux127@lemmy.zip 9 points 1 year ago (1 children)

    ....unless they have your fingerprints you your google account password

    [–] RealFknNito@lemmy.world 13 points 1 year ago (2 children)

    .. if my partner has gone out of their way and obtained access to my fingerprints I have bigger concerns than my Linux memes.

    [–] robocall@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

    Is it that They'll discover your porn fetish?
