Richard Stallbot. I thought this would be an LLM trained on Richard Stallman text that would attempt to respond as Richard Stallman would. So I punched in:

"Proprietary software is awesome!"

If there's one thing I know about Richard Stallman it's that he hates proprietary software, so I figured this would get a pretty hostile response.

To my surprise, it responded with an actual Richard Stallman video, showing him saying:

"Proprietary software is not awesome, it's malware! It's a program designed to run in a way that hurts the user. You can't trust it because you don't have the freedom to check and modify it. That's why we developed the GNU + Linux system, to give users freedom and control over their computing."

Unless this "Richard Stallbot" is deepfaking video as well as text?

Nom de code - #Linux [Ultra HD 4K] 2001 [VF] - #TVArchive

Nom de Code : Linux (anglais : The Code, titre de la version originale) est un #film #documentaire de #HannuPuttonen datant de 2002 qui retrace l' #histoire des #mouvements #GNU, #Linux, #opensource et des #logicielslibres et dans lequel plusieurs personnalités de l' #informatique sont interviewées, comme #LinusTorvalds, #AlanCox, #RichardStallman, Theodore Ts'o ou Eric S. Raymond.

Le film s'achève par cette assertion : "Ce serait peut-être l'une des plus grandes opportunités manquées de notre époque si le #logiciel-libre ne libérait rien d'autre que du code."

The terms “free software” and “open source” stand for almost the same range of programs. However, they say deeply different things about those programs, based on different #values. The free software movement campaigns for #freedom for the users of computing; it is a movement for freedom and #justice. By contrast, the open source idea values mainly practical advantage and does not campaign for principles. This is why we do not agree with open source, and do not use that term.

When we call software “free,” we mean that it respects the users' essential freedoms: the freedom to run it, to study and change it, and to redistribute copies with or without changes. This is a matter of freedom, not price, so think of “free speech,” not “free beer.”

These freedoms are vitally important. They are essential, not just for the individual users' sake, but for society as a whole because they promote social #solidarity—that is, #sharing and #cooperation. They become even more important as our culture and life activities are increasingly digitized. In a world of #digital sounds, images, and words, free software becomes increasingly essential for freedom in general.

Amidst our negotiations with #RichardStallman (about adding Gemini presence for #GNU and the FSF; still “work in progress”) we’re seeing a lot of enthusiasm from the #GNU / #Linux community at large; hackers and hobbyists are offering to package and maintain popular Gemini clients, even for large corporations such as #IBM (Fedora) http://techrights.org/2022/02/13/gemini-adoption-analysis/
