    Glad he went with Terry Davis and not Richard Stallman.

    Note: This is posted in the same tongue in cheek manner as your image and not meant to conflate Bill Gates and Richard Stallman.

      Yeah lol. Unlike Gates tho, Stallmann actually felt the consequences of his words, and was removed from the FSF. Later he said he had been educated and apologized for his previous statements, he’s back at FSF now.

        Bruh, hes pro child rape.

        He was friends with epstein.

        You can’t just apologize and undo things like that.

        It is a travesty he continues to be a part of that organization considering the no code/subtraction he contributes,

        I bet there are a lot of donations they could be getting but aren’t purely because of this, and the fact that he clearly had some sort of leverage on them to be able to be reinstated.

          Hm maybe I’m misinformed. Last time I read about this, I recall he was friends with somebody who was implicated with Epstein, not Epstein himself. And I recall reading that he later backpedaled on his statements before being reinstated.

      It is truly unfortunate so many figures people foolishly look up to are just secretly (or not so secretly any more) comically evil.
