Is there no end to RMS's trolling?

Why?
When I say Linux or NTOSKRNL when referring to a user-oriented desktop OS everyone immediately knows what I'm talking about.

What you’re referring to as GNU/Linux, is in fact, NVIDIA/GNU/Linux, or as I’ve recently taken to calling it, NVIDIA plus GNU/Linux. GNU/Linux is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning NVIDIA/GNU/Linux system made useful by the NVIDIA graphics driver and the X.org X11 server.

Many computer users run a modified version of the NVIDIA/GNU/Linux system every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of NVIDIA/GNU/Linux which is widely used today is often called “GNU/Linux”, and many of its users are not aware that it is basically the NVIDIA/GNU/Linux system, developed by NVIDIA Corporation. There really is a GNU/Linux, and these people are using it, but it is just a part of the system they use.

GNU/Linux is the base system: the part of the system that allocates the machine’s resources to the other programs that you run. It is an essential part of an operating system, but useless by itself; it can only function in the context of a complete operating system. GNU/Linux is normally used in combination with the NVIDIA graphics driver: the whole system is basically NVIDIA with GNU/Linux added, or NVIDIA/GNU/Linux. All the so-called “GNU/Linux” distributions are really distributions of NVIDIA/GNU/Linux.

e/b/in reddit meme XD

>>35
I fucking hate you.

Operating system is a synonym for kernel. Most companies ship extras with their operating system, to the point where a court of law had to say they aren't "part" of it (see the various Internet Explorer court cases).
If an operating system needs a compiler or text editor or shell before it can be called an operating system, it makes me wonder what rms thought operating systems before the 1960s were.

>>39
An operating system is the kernel plus a bunch of stuff that makes a computer usable by (and useful for) humans.
They are not synonymous.

You guys are spoiled by Linux distributions, calling them operating systems.

A operating system proper is just something for a common ground in between the hardware and the applications and to control the use of limited resources, nothing more or less than that. Things like file system layouts and executable file loading mechanisms. As long as binaries can be loaded from disk and invoked from the terminal its an operating system. In the old days this was what we called the Disk Operating System.

>>3
Who cares? Both GNU and Linux have Jewish founders. Then Linux is named after Linus Pauling - another Jew.

>>41
You kids are spoiled with your disks and terminals. You can also load binaries from cards, tape, EPROMs, etc.

>>43
You whippersnappers are spoiled with your binaries. You can also program tabulators using plug-boards.

>>38
You know it's true.

Miguel de Icaza is a beaner and a microshill.

this thread is 3 years old, that program where MS was supposed to interoperate with open source software died on arrival. I wonder what Miguel is doing now?

>>45
No you cock sucking cretin, it's not.  Look up noveau.

>>48
noveau [sic]
Ufufu. Do you really think a Gallium-based driver can compete with the almighty NVIDIA blob?

>>48
The fact that an alternative exists only makes his point more true. Why should that not apply to GNU? GNU didn't invent the standard Unix utilities. I can run Linux with BusyBox, Heirloom, Plan 9 from User Space, or my own implementations that I compiled with tcc or Clang.

On my current box, I am running the NVIDIA driver, the GNU coreutils, and the Linux operating system, therefore I am running the NVIDIA/GNU/Linux operating system.

It amuses me that the software says it doesn't claim to be fit for any particular purpose.

Now that there's GNU Hurd, why do you care about GNU/Linux?

lol

``free" as in GNU/beer

RMS drinks Pepsi.

>>60
But the recipe isn't available, how will he be able to make his own Pepsi if the need arises?

>>61
He doesn't reject the output of a proprietary program and therefore he doesn't reject drinking Pepsi.

Terrible!

>>54
Are you making fun of the fact that the people who whine about RMS don't bother to read his argument for calling it GNU/Linux, or are you one of them?

>>65
Rms is a loser unable to make an OS. He worked for years to come up with the clever mutually recursive acronym "the HURD of HARD of HORD". The shit was doomed and never managed to boot. Bad code, faulty design, you name it.

In the meantime it took the young Linus a couple of days to hack together what would be the successful Linux. Rms went mad and butthurt and has been trying to steal credit since then.

Hell, even tdavis managed to produce something bootable.

>>66
Wikipedia says, Stallman did wrote his GCC.

>>67
When Stallman writes a software that means he asks a student to do it for him. The student is paid with a bunch of nice stories about human fraternity and a better future for you me everybody thanks to free software.

Seriously, look at that fat disgusting piece of shit. I wouldn't eat a sandwich if I knew Stallman eyed it through the window.

And I thank both Stallman and the student for producing free software that enables me to use my computer without fearing for my security and privacy.

>>70
Because you totally checked the 12,000,000,000,000 LoC of gcc for malfeasantware.

Someone else has, and they've signed it with their public key.

It's impossible for a single human to read the whole source code in 10 lifetimes.

>>74
You're a shitty coder and you're evaluating others by your own standards.

Anyway, if Stallman starts sleeping on your couch and you don't know how to get rid of him, get a dog. Preferably a doberman or a rottweiler. Stallman will squeak and run away from your house without checking his mail.

Ah, comparing rats to jews aren't we.  Fucking retard.

Go on youtube and find a video of Stallman. The guy is squeaking. It has nothing to do with Jews.

I love how Stallman gets eager undergraduates to do everything for him.

    Why are you replying on
    everybody else to point these things you to you?

Because that's the efficient way to do it.  This is a matter of fixing
bugs.  I don't read the source code of Emacs over again each month
looking for bugs.  That would be prohibitively difficult.  So I wait
for people to report bugs.  It's the same for these problems.

http://marc.info/?l=openbsd-misc&m=119973356130003
When I want research, I ask people to do it.  That is efficient, and
we have not seen any errors in it.

In the case of AROS, it's possible I did not ask anyone to do
research.  I might have just taken the developers' word that the
system is free.  It was years ago and I do not know what happened.

I've spoken with people from MIT, and apparently a lot of kids think it's a huge honor to fetch rms a drink or read a web page for him. Once a Jew, always a Jew, I suppose.

>>79
Which one? Here is a video of Stallman eating something nasty from his foot and drinking it with Pepsi:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I25UeVXrEHQ

That is about Open Source version of McDonalds...

Then Stallman personally attacked Gosling for no good reason
http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/stallman-kth.html
My later dealings with him personally showed that he was every bit as cowardly and despicable as you would expect from that history.

>>78
I don't have to read the parts irrelevant to my architecture.  Besides, I can just use tcc or clang.

Linux and UNIX™ culture in general is very flawed. They worship ASCII text files because they're ``simple''. Look on Github or SourceForge and you'll see endless ``le epic C utility'' that has no GUI, segfaults in all-but-ideal cases, and is often quite slow since most of these ``hackers'' don't know anything about algorithms or how to design software other than ``use C cuz itz fast''. This is borne of the cancer that is UNIX™. It's like their IQs are too low for anything slightly more complicated and actually effective.

>>83
Who needs more than 2048 characters on a line? Let it segfault!

I agree.  But until SussmanOS comes along, it's ,,good enough'' because, hey, at least it's not closed-source backdoored Microsoft shit.
