Is this an April Fools joke?
Everyone knows that transwomen prefer Rust due to its borrow checker which ensures memory safety without the overhead of garbage collection.
It's just basic biology, how do people not know this?
Trans men on the other hand prefer Haskell, top biology professors are dumbfounded!
I would have thought transmen would prefer Python.
Yes, and that's why the professors are scratching their heads.
What does it mean if one likes both?
Gender fluid
Oh, those biology professors and their pet slimes...
Not every trans woman tho
It has to be. RMS browses the internet by e-mailing a remote machine that
wgets the page and e-mails it back to him, then views it inlynxso that JavaScript doesn't run. There's absolutely no way in Hell he'd be on corporate social media.(I'm not joking, by the way.)
Iβve seen a lot of FOSS purists before, but this guy has gotta be the Linux equivalent of one of those dudes who lives in the forest with a tin hat so the guberment canβt read his thoughts.
It's almost exactly like that only if the tin hat guy would turn out to be right every single goddamn time in hindsight. RMS is... a character at best, but he sure has some predictive powers.
He literally invented the concept of Free Software. So yeah, of course he's extreme about it!
The difference would be that RMS is extremely well-versed in computer technology. He understands the problems with non-free software.
Someone with his knowledge could choose to disregard those issues for convenience, but Stallman is willing to make great sacrifices.
Mastodon is corporate social media?
What makes you think the fake screenshot is Mastodon? I don't use it so I don't know about fonts and colors and margins matching up, but I'd at least expect there to be an instance name attached to the username.
Also, RMS is certainly not the kind of guy to use social media at all, libre and federated or not.
The page behind your link above actually solves the riddle in question:
The profile picture and colour scheme fits. I'm guessing just the text is edited.
Welp, that's embarrassing for me. Good catch!
Look at those numbers to get your answer.
Yeah, but it's true. What if?
