  • (Linus leans back in his chair, a glint of amusement in his eyes, and gestures toward Richard Stallman who is seated across from him. Richard, ever the passionate advocate, is already gesturing with his hands.)

    “Well, if you’re talking about the revolution in computing, you can’t forget about this fella right here, Mr. Stallman.”

    (He gives Richard a playful nudge.)

    “He’s the one who really gave us the framework, the ideals, the whole ‘free software’ movement.”

    Richard, his eyes gleaming with conviction, jumps in.

    “It’s not just about code, Linus. It’s about freedom, about users having control over their own technology. It’s about sharing, about building on each other’s work, and refusing to be locked in by proprietary systems.” (He leans forward, his voice gaining intensity.)

    "We had to fight for that freedom, against the corporations who wanted to control every bit of software, every line of code. But we won, and GNU is proof that free software can not only work but thrive. "

    Linus nods in agreement, a hint of respect in his voice.

    “He’s right, you know. Without the GNU tools, without Richard’s vision, Linux wouldn’t be what it is today. It wouldn’t be as powerful, as flexible, as truly free.”

    (He turns back to you, a mischievous glint in his eyes.)

    “But don’t let them fool you, we weren’t always the best of friends. We had our disagreements, our battles over licensing, our philosophical differences. But hey, that’s part of the fun, isn’t it?”

    (He grins, leaning back in his chair.)

    “In the end, we were all working towards the same goal, a world where software is free for all to use, share, and improve. And that’s a goal worth fighting for, wouldn’t you say?”

    i personally dont agree it’s dramatically more convenient. first and foremost, I don’t have to say anything to my wrist. it works when it’s loud around me and it doesn’t get it wrong sometimes. it doesn’t die on me and it doesn’t bother me with messages from work. a few button presses are not dramatically more inconvenient bullshit imo. I don’t even need to look to do it anymore. my phone can also hear and respond to me from my pocket. I can just ask my phone. just my perspective. I respected your method until you said mine was bullshit.
