I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you're refering to as Furry, is in fact, YIFF/Furry, or as I've recently taken to calling it, YIFF plus Furry...

When did Stallmann actually say that line?

[–] iusearchbtw@lemmy.sdf.org 21 points 10 months ago (1 children)

He didn't. He did respond to it though: https://www.gnu.org/gnu/incorrect-quotation.en.html

.. in that link he says only the italicized parts are things he hasn't said

The page is confusing: the marked parts are the ones containing confusing/inaccurate statements. I don't think this means that the other parts are verbatim quotes.

Sounds very different, too.

there are some parts at least that sound pretty similar

the whole system is basically GNU with Linux added, or GNU/Linux. All the so-called “Linux” distributions are really distributions of GNU/Linux.

Whether you use GNU/Linux or not, please don't confuse the public by using the name “Linux” ambiguously. Linux is the kernel, one of the essential major components of the system. The system as a whole is basically the GNU system, with Linux added. When you're talking about this combination, please call it “GNU/Linux.”

I think everything points to stallman being more worried about the factual errors in the quote (rather than the qualities that make the quote funny)

edit: I should mention that this comment is kinda NSFW because 2/3 pictures that are described below are rated explicit uwu

One of them is a drawing of a bottomless Richard Stallman with an "I ❤️ GNUS" pin telling a confused / shy and very thicc demon about Linux.

One is Silver Spoon (My Little Pony) next to a pony version of Stallman. Both have emacs running some sort of Linux OS. Stallman's laptop is floating in the air because of the magic he is casting with his horn (he's a unicorn).

The last one is Rainbow Dash (My Little Pony) sitting on a 1000-piece Richard Stallman jigsaw puzzle box and grinding a laptop. There's a computer in the background that's running Arch btw.

Thank you for the descriptions. Can I get some bleach for you?

[–] LordAmplifier@pawb.social 10 points 10 months ago

I love bleach, it always gives me such a warm and tingling feeling inside :)

Gee I wonder what that site could be
