Good thing you put the "tech related" qualifier on there. He probably should have stayed in that lane.

Indeed.

It's also a reminder of why we shouldn't mindlessly celebrate celebrity figures like they're deities.

Stallman has amazing views regarding FOSS, but yeah, some of his other opinions are... interesting.

This made me think of Jordan Peterson....some of his early stuff on actual psychology was interesting and informative.....then there is all the other stuff, you had a lane stay in it.

But I guess very minor celebrity can go to someones head and make them do crazy things. /s (damn you Poe's law)

He should’ve cleaned his own fucking room.

I will say his recent interview of (by?) Alex O’Connor was spectacular, though.
