Richard Stallman Reveals He Has Cancer.

If it were someone else I would not care, but Richard is one of those people that the world needs, Richard understood before anyone else the danger of closed software and the danger of state control and large corporations.

Surely without his work, we would have neither Linux nor Bitcoin, surely we would be decades behind in the evolution of free software and the world would be much worse than it is now.

Richard Stallman is a fundamental pillar of freedom, it doesn't matter if you don't agree with everything he does or says, he is a Titan.

Long live Stallman.

A legend, strong convictions, 😢

Is he vaxxed?

"Free as in freedom"

I had the privilege of meeting him in person a couple of times.

Such an inspiring man.

I'm sure that if we have free (as in freedom) software today we should thank his stubbornness.

(not sure "stubbornness" is the right English word... hope it gives the idea anyway!)
