What is Linus was a rapist
| Would all the PCs switch to Windows and macOS, and all the servers and supercomputers to Windows Server (hehehe just kidding, maybe to as BSD Unix)?
| Would you install Windows on your Dell XPS Developer Edition? Windows Server your NAS (hehehe)?
Would you throw away your smart TV?
Would you return your Tesla?
| Shut down the large hadron collider?
| Stop using Google (probably a good idea though) and Wikipedia?
| Do you know ReiserFS? Do some research about its developer^^
Also your question is simmiliar to "should we use nazi technology and research results"?
| >>414604
maybe those which were reached by forced labour and experiments on people from concentration camps. Like the US did with "von Braun" to catch up in the space race and missile weapon technology with the leading soviet union. Or the CIA which took over a lot of nazist scientist and their research to gain advantages in the cold war (there was much sympathy to nazism across the western elites).
| Also I think this whole "linux is going to die by evil SJW conspiracy" stuff is just an alt-right meme. It has nothing to do with reality. GNU/Linux will be great as long it stays GNU/Linux. Free software was always a leftists thing, rightwingers using apple, dos and other capitalist platforms. The "new" political right is not really an antagonist to "the establishment". They are just the ugly face which was long time hidden behind the fancy-shiny masquerade of neoliberalism.
| >>414637 most celebs are lefties, most of them use iphones. Right wingers put their money on guns, not smartphones lol
| >>414671
Don't think so American centric conservicuck.
Celebrities are left-liberals. So basically capitalists with a liberal social ideology.
Anti intellectual property ideas are mostly leftwing/Marxist.
They strongly oppose most economic right-wing ideologies.
| >>414691 Americans have hard time differentiating between social liberalism and socialism in general.
| >>414671
Celebs are no leftists. They are just what was left over after us commie and socialist persecution programmes during cold war, to emulate pluralism and a open and liberal society based on capitalism. Now this emulation is not necessary anymore and they play revolution against trump who himself plays revolution. In the end they all together belong to the same class, fooling both stupid masses with identity politics while both live from and for the capitalist system.

Social liberalism is dead like social democracy and social market. It existed only temporary to attract masses to capitalism. Now that no serious power is questioning it anymore, there is no use for it. Say hello to capitalism and its children: imperialism, racism, nationalism, religious fundamentalism, etc.
"Drain the swamp" my ass. I never expected people beeing that stupid. It's so depressing.
| >>414691
Intelectual property is an illusion. You cant "steal" ideas. You can copy them or steal an implementation of an idea but not the idea itself. It's an entirely different thing. Restricting the nature of information to make it fit into the capitalist system is also something convinced pro capitalists and honest liberals should be careful with. It all will end up in mind control stuff. This is the real threat here, not some stupid "sjws" which have no real (economic) power.
| what if it was revealed that Richard Stallman raped someone in the past?
| >>415042
I expect RMS to rape proprietary software, an I'll have no pity for the victim in this case.
| Stallman's nose was raped by a flower.
| >>415635 the point to the post is that Linux is more than Linus now and that people will still use it in spite of him because it works even if he turns out to be the devil's spawn. So we're actually on the same side you Dingus
Same with rms and gnu

| Here's a thought: What would happen if we found out that Linus was some sort of sex offender/pedophile/rapist/etc.?
Would we throw out all our Android devices and buy iPhones and iPads instead?
