@matrix @sun @mangeurdenuage @lain Please do not carry out the immoral act of recommending windows to people.

If you want to recommend an activator, the only moral way to do that would be to advise that you should install GNU/Linux instead, but if someone is set on surrendering their freedom, you can advise the activator so microsoft doesn't get more money.

Recommending the "purchase" of windows keys is always immoral, no matter how cheap the keys are.

@lina @MK2boogaloo @lucy I wasn't deluded in the first place.

I've always been able to work out falsehoods.

Actually read the damn books.

(Spoiler; The bible are the best books available to cure Christianity).

@lina @MK2boogaloo @lucy I suggest sitting down and actually reading the bible.

Lucifer was an angel that apparently asked god a question that he didn't like and thus fell, but really afterwards he went around being gods helper, tempting Jesus and killing the entire family of some innocent guy with permission of god.

The thing about the devil corrupting people at random is fanfiction that doesn't match what the bible says.

I don't believe I'm the one corrupted by "the devil", considering I didn't threaten to murder anyone.

@MK2boogaloo @lucy >Just look at sources regarding Julius Caesar.
Those sources detail things that are entirely plausible and believable.

>reading books instead of being a Linuxtard.
I'm a GNUvance.

>God is just and great, not the world.
What kind of great god, perfectly capable of making the world great, decides to make a not-great world?

>also try calling this police chief with mean words Stallman said about Jesus. I bet he's going to get you in jail.
I don't believe Stallman has said any mean words about Jesus - he has said that god should be impeached and well he does appear to be quite an incredible tyrant.

A police chief in any decent country doesn't have the power to throw someone in jail for saying mean words - at most they can order officers to arrest such individual.

>The source you gave has this picture, try reading instead of drinking soy.
I didn't see it as the chart was small. I was looking at the number of listed Laureates.

Nobel prizes are somewhat arbitrarily awarded, handed out at pretty much random, ignoring many people who played part in the discoveries and also many discoveries.

It wouldn't surprise me if Christians preferred handing out awards to other Christians.

>Words will never defeat action, if you think we're psychotic losers then so be it,
Words are much more useful than pointless murderous action.

>at least your opinion would matter when there's a lead inside of your head.
If you intend to murder me with lead for being correct - too bad, I'm putting 12 inside you first.

@MK2boogaloo @lucy >that's called proof buddy, computers don't really exist back then how are you going to archive stuff if not by writing them down huh?
If it's true, you generally write it down at the same time it happened.

>Yes, you can't make fun of something so great and just.
The world is in no way just.

If it was so great and just, it would be impossible to make fun of.

>Try doing that to your local police chief, or gang leader, see how they're going to react.
A local police chief or gang leader will not punish you for eternity - a decent police chief won't care, although a gang leader may respond violently.

>That's so great, where is this great machine you're talking of?
Have you heard of combine harvesters? They can run GNU/Linux or systemd/Linux for mapping and routing etc.

>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Lists_of_Nobel_laureates_by_religion
Checking the source, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_nonreligious_Nobel_laureates?useskin=monobook actually lists more nonreligious nobel laureates than https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Christian_Nobel_laureates?useskin=monobook but maybe both lists are incomplete.

>We would kill anyone who disrespect our God. This is what makes us great.
That makes you mentally ill, psychotic losers - it doesn't make you great.

  Category:Lists of Nobel laureates by religion
2. List of nonreligious Nobel laureates
  
  This list of nonreligious Nobel laureates comprises laureates of the Nobel Prize who have self-identified as atheist, agnostic, freethinker, or otherwise nonreligious at some point in their lives. Many of these laureates earlier identified with a religion. In an estimate by Baruch Shalev, between 1901 and 2000, about 10.5% of all laureates, and 35% of those in literature, fall in this category. According to the same estimate, between 1901 and 2000, atheists, agnostics, and freethinkers won 8.9% of the prizes in medicine, 7.1% in chemistry, 5.2% in economics, 4.7% in physics, and 3.6% in peace. Alfred Nobel himself was an atheist later in life. Shalev's book lists many Jewish atheists, agnostics, and freethinkers as religiously Jewish. For example, Milton Friedman, Roald Hoffmann, Richard Feynman, Niels Bohr, Élie Metchnikoff, and Rita Levi-Montalcini are listed as religiously Jewish; however, while they were ethnically and perhaps culturally Jewish, they did not believe in a God and self-identified as atheists. Physics Chemistry Physiology or Medicine...
3. List of Christian Nobel laureates
  
  In an estimate by Baruch Shalev, between 1901 and 2000 about 65.4% of Nobel prize winners were either Christians or had a Christian background. Here is a non exhaustive list of some of the prize winners who publicly identified themselves as Christians. Physics By one estimate made by Weijia Zhang from Arizona State University and Robert G. Fuller from University of Nebraska–Lincoln, between 1901 and 1990, 60% of Physics Nobel prize winners had Christian backgrounds. In an estimate by Baruch Shalev, between 1901 and 2000, about 65.3% of Physics Nobel prize winners were either Christians or had a Christian background. Chemistry In an estimate by Baruch Shalev, between 1901 and 2000, about 72.5% of Chemistry Nobel prize winners were either Christians or had a Christian background. Physiology or Medicine In an estimate by Baruch Shalev, between 1901 and 2000, about 62% of Medicine Nobel prize winners were either Christians or had a Christian background.

@MK2boogaloo @lucy >He fed thousands of people with limited resources, won against death itself and gave men eternal life.
Long after his death, people wrote books about him doing those things - quite interesting don't you think?

>he would just eat everything, die soon because of diabetes, and go to hell for making fun of God.
rms does not have diabetes.

What a great and just god - eternal punishment for making fun of him?

>| want to see how C compiler is to helping feed people at least
With a free C compiler, you can write software that optimists/assists the mass planting and harvesting of crops without proprietary masters getting in the way.

>those people who achieve many great things are mostly Christians
Citation needed.

>would smack Stallman instantly for his gaytheistic take.
Christians would react violently to speech? What a peaceful religion.

@MK2boogaloo @lucy I'm dubious of that claim.

Jesus was a man of religion and it appears that he did sometimes give good advice, but I'm not sure he could have possibly done much to help people individually.

Stallman meanwhile did many, many things, including writing the first usable free C compiler, which helped other people achieve many great things.

Compiling software is not software development, as you are not programming anything.

You run the command, go back to working on whatever projects and come back later when it's finished compiling.

@charlie_root @dcc @Goalkeeper @Volkish_Observer @tyler @PalePimp @gvs >don't consider this batshit insane
I don't see how it is batshit insane to use a computer properly by using it to compile software.

If the software is any good, compiling and installing it is as trivial as;
./configure <build flags, or just go with the defaults>
make -j$(nproc)
sudo make install

If libraries are missing, configure will tell you what's missing and then you just install the missing libraries.

It's very easy on Gentoo-libre, as a fair amount of software is packaged and even if it isn't packaged, you just grab the source, install any libraries via emerge and then compile it.

Sometimes packages sadly use buildsystems instead of GNU autools, but it's usually not that much harder really;
mkdir build
cd build
cmake ..
make -j$(nproc)
sudo make install

You probably shouldn't use computers if you are unable to do something as trivial as compile software that is already written.

@charlie_root @dcc @Goalkeeper @Volkish_Observer @tyler @PalePimp @gvs You are free to install whatever DE you want on any free distro.

I'm running GNU Linux-libre 6.x-gnu and Xorg is working just as well as when I ran Linux-libre 5.15-gnu.

On some distros, eventually using Xorg will require compiling a Xorg DE from source, but that really isn't that hard.

I'm not sure what you're doing comparing OS's to a display protocol.

Xorg is simply fast enough not to slow the user down, so no-one has really bothered to optimize it.

Some users don't even bother with Xorg and just use the Church of Emacs in fbcon, which is much faster than any display protocol implementation or windowing toolkit.

>I'm curious where you got the proof that it was (and is) faster then those or Wayland.
Personal experience - I can tell the difference between the added latency of vsync and unfettered frames.

You shouldn't use modern graphics cards as they don't respect your freedom.

wayland has forced vsync, which makes it laggy compared to Xorg on freedom-respecting GPUs.

>X11 had been a sore regarding security
Free software programs being able to access my key and mouse inputs when I want them to is not a security flaw.

What is a security flaw is running proprietary malware on your computer.

@charlie_root @Goalkeeper Total "FOSS" death!

Linux is only a kernel, a proprietary one at that, that doesn't operate on its own.

The Linux SYSCALL ABI has been mostly ABI compatible for 20+ years (support for old syscalls that nobody really uses anymore can be enabled or disabled with a .config option) and the API is stable.

The ABI and API of macos and ios changes all the time, it's just that apple forces all the developers to port to the latest version, otherwise the software will stop working (they dropped 32 bit support years ago, forcing developers to port to 64bit for example).

Very old windows software is known to break a LOT on newer versions, although microsoft is know for keeping around massive amount of cruft as that makes something things keep working (ReactOS or WINE is sometimes better at running old windows software than windows, not that you should do so).

The GNUlibc (glibc) API has been pretty consistent, with just the addition of functions really - it's ABI is even forward compatible.

GtK+, GtK2, GtK3, GtK4 and Qt software all work just fine on Xorg and wayland does support GtK+, GtK2 & GtK3 software via Xwayland.

Linux doesn't follow any standards, but that really doesn't matter as long as it keeps its syscall API usable by glibc.

GNU is mostly POSIX-compatible, meaning that if you have free software written for some POSIX-compatible OS, chances are it will compile and work with no or minor modifications, but really POSIX is treated as a suggestion; https://www.gnu.org/prep/standards/standards.html#Non_002dGNU-Standards

Following any standard is much less important that keeping free software free mind you; https://www.gnu.org/prep/standards/standards.html#Legal-Issues

The reason why there isn't much proprietary software on GNU/Linux doesn't have anything to do with "moving targets", as glibc and Qt have been around for decades - the reason is mostly due to developer incompetence (which is surprising considering getting software to compile and work on GNU/Linux is a breeze thanks GCC gcc, GNU make and GNU autools, unlike on windows, where it's actually only feasible to compile anything via windows ports of GCC and GNU make via MSYS2 or via "visual studio" (which has a bloated installer that is very likely to fail to actually install the damn thing)) and also library proprietary sabotage via proprietary windows-only libraries and databases, but that isn't a bad thing, as every proprietary program ported is yet another piece of temptation that soils the freedom.

Really, I can grab decently written 20 year old software and compile it just fine on GNU/Linux-libre with only a few patches and good luck doing that on windows or macos.

If GNU was so fringe, how come GNU software gets used absolutely everywhere?
https://www.gnu.org/software/

Sure it's popular to cover up even the mention of GNU, by referring to it as "Linux", so people don't learn of its existence and consider it to be something fringe.

@xianc78 @ooignignoktoo @RustyCrab @sun >This guy is just taking everything Richard Stallman says as gospel
Incorrect.

Before repeating anything rms has written, I determine if it is correct (the amount of time's he's correct when it pertains to software is incredible, although for other areas, he's often incorrect).

>not realizing that the is a reason why the community split back in 1998
The community was rather subverted by those who wanted to pander to the corporate interests who don't like it when people are even advised about what's considered right and what's considered wrong in a free community and to think about it and the weak willed followed them in the wrong direction.

The road is faster sure, but that road is going to proprietary hell (total enslavement of humanity).

>Stallman using the term "free software" to define his idea of software respecting user's freedom was a terrible mistake.
Free has always meant freedom, so I don't see how it could be a mistake to refer to free software as free software.

You can also say libre software, or frei software or whatever word means free if you're too afraid to say that free means freedom.

>FOSS seems to take the best of both worlds.
It is actually the worst of both worlds - it induces the reader or listener to assume that free means gratis and that "open source" means source-available.
