Have Bill gates in a sleep over, who will tell you the secrets to screwing people over and spyware tricks

or dining with the foot fungus eating master, Richard Stallman, who will explain in great detail about the origins of GNU and why that finnish guy made GNU largely small in the grand scheme of things.

        I hope Bill wasn’t encouraging of him, but I wouldn’t blame them just for being friends and having sleepovers (as long as they didn’t bring anyone).

          Hes also spoken up about the inherent power imbalances between an adult and a minor. Maybe read what he has to say from his blog than reading what other people have cherry picked for you to create a narrative.

              Go read the rest of his blog then and come back. Youd at least see this man is neurodivergent as hell.

                So am I. Being neurodivergent doesn’t excuse making people feel unsafe or uncomfortable in your presence because of your comments about sex with children and inappropriate behavior toward women.

                He was a large contributer to the open software movement. That’s fair. But there’s no need to idolize him or anyone else when there are plenty of other capable people who dont behave this way.

                  Good for you but not all neurodivergence is the same. Assuming that is silly af.

                  Its more the principle that people can grow and their opinions can grow and change over time. People can make people accidentally feel uncomfortable due to their awkwardness.

                  Has this person actually done anything harmful or influenced anything harmful apart from some bad takes. I don’t think so. I dont think hes a good face for the FSF. But i also dont think he should be exiled.
