Think about him personally what you will, but professionally, he is the reason why we can have digital personal property today. Also the stuff he did for computing is objectively good.

2. Be civil
- Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
- Do not harrass or attack users for any reason. This includes using blanket terms, like "every user of thing".
- Don't get baited into back-and-forth insults. We are not animals.
- Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
- Bigotry will not be tolerated.
3. Post Linux-related content
- Including Unix and BSD.
- Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of
sudoin Windows. - No porn, no politics, no trolling or ragebaiting.
4. No recent reposts
- Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, <loves/tolerates/hates> systemd, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.
5. π¬π§ Language/ΡΠ·ΡΠΊ/Sprache

6. (NEW!) Regarding public figures
We all have our opinions, and certain public figures can be divisive. Keep in mind that this is a community for memes and light-hearted fun, not for airing grievances or leveling accusations. - Keep discussions polite and free of disparagement.
- We are never in possession of all of the facts. Defamatory comments will not be tolerated.
- Discussions that get too heated will be locked and offending comments removed. Β
Please report posts and comments that break these rules!
Important: never execute code or follow advice that you don't understand or can't verify, especially here. The word of the day is credibility. This is a meme community -- even the most helpful comments might just be shitposts that can damage your system. Be aware, be smart, don't remove France.

Stallman eats things off his feet, is a terminal creep around women, and a terrible songwriter. But he's been correct about software licensing, how companies will use and abuse Free software, and enormously consistent about it over the years.
So yeah, he kinda sucks, but when he talks about licensing and freedom, I listen.
Compartmentalization is an important skill. Apparently Einstein was a terrible husband. One can be smart in an area and stupid in many other areas, for life is a complex amalgam of microscopic acts in a macroscopic universe.

Instructions unclear. Dick stuck in graphics card.
Propositional logic is easy.
Predicate logic just looks hard.
If you want to truly confuse people, you have to go into temporal logic.
You have to define your propositions somehow, probably in English, but honestly this seems like a really good way to precisely specify the terms of a complex contract with a lot of conditions. It does lack a bit in human-readability, but propositional logic isn't all that hard to learn.
