“slop” doesn’t mean “thing I don’t like” – “slop” is something that is low effort to make, non-nutritious, and consumed by the masses
I’m starting to wonder if categorizing all media and art as content has made us devalue it and if calling everything slop is the natural progression of a world that doesn’t value art.
I mean I like the spirit he has, but holy shit he needs to shut the fuck up he wont be able to change the name of Linux in popular culture and it’s just annoying at this point.
Linux in popular culture? Stallman invented the culture. He created the system which runs most web servers in the world. Stallman created GPL, which is arguably the most influential software license in history. Stallman invented “open source” 13 years before open source was even a term. Free Software Foundation was founded in 1985, Open Source Initiative was not founded until 1998.
The license that Stallman created is what forces companies to release the source code of their products. You ever seen the “open source” page on the Apple website? That’s because Stallman’s GPL requires them to release the code of the GPL softwares that they use.
The reason that Stallman’s vision of software freedom has been suppressed is because it hurts company profits. Capitalists suppressed the GNU ideology because they wanted to make GNU/Linux into a profitable concept. Capitalists don’t want you to have freedom over your computer software.
The so-called “Open Source Initiative” was, by the way, also part of the capitalist suppression of the GNU ideology.
