Good point. He makes proprietary software designed to exploit people and everyone should realise that. That's the important issue.

While RMS is a person who loves to argue on semantics; this argument comes from his friend being accused of sexual assault. “Oh my friend was accused of sexual assault… when you think about it what really is sexual assault?” (This is not a direct quote, I’m just making a point.)
I know and he was right. There was no evidence of Minsky assaulting anybody. I don’t think they were friends, though.
I think users of other operating systems might not have such passionate discussions. This is probably a side effect of having freedom.
His pleasure card - the opposite of business card. It's funny that people once tried to use that to accuse him of inappropriate behavior.
But did you know he also likes to engage in rhinophytonecrophilia?
I often enjoy rhinophytonecrophilia (nasal sex with dead plants)
Here is the source. Why is nobody talking about this?! /s
He has a funny story about it too: https://stallman.org/articles/texas.html
but his views on sexuality are a bit questionable
I don't know, I agree with many of them. There was one I didn't agree with, but he changed his mind about that.
But what kind of password is that? Seriously, I will never get it. It's easy for anyone around you (and your government) to get and very difficult for you to change.
I disagree and I think people who say that aren't very familiar with what he says on his blog. He spent his whole life fighting for justice and freedom, not just in software. He has many interesting opinions on other topics as well and I agree with many of them. For example, I agree that we should reject the term “sexual assault”, because it’s too vague and can mean almost anything, so instead we should use more precise terms. I'm not saying that he is never wrong, though.
Now if you identify as a Stallman-sexual because you have a toe jam fetish; I’m not going to kink shame you for it.
I think it's sad that someone uploaded a video of him doing something embarrassing just to make fun of him and other people share it. I wish people didn't behave like that.
His mistake was thinking that pedophilia is only harmful when children are forced to do it. Fortunately he changed his mind. But I agree with many of his other opinions like rejecting the term "sexual assault", because it's too vague and can mean almost anything, so more precise terms should be used instead.
People that hate him, criticize him for almost anything. Even for calling someone an "Emacs virgin". And if they can't find anything, they misquote him like they did during the MIT Epstein scandal.
The creator of the Free Software movement and the founder of the GNU project, which lead to the development of GNU/Linux operating system - the OS that this community is about.
By supported you mean he wrote a few posts about it on his blog. Later he talked to some pedophilia victims and they made him realise how harmful it is. What is so impossible about it?
I didn't know there was no RISC-V toolchain for Rust, that's kinda weird!
You’re still limited to either waiting for hours or cross-compiling though since currently the best available RISC-V CPU is quad-core 2.5 GHz (which still looks hella promising, 2 years ago best we had was 1.5 GHz dual-core).
Compiling anything on PinePhone is also painful :D. But I suspect there is probably a lot more ARM packages available in distros and some app developers release ARM builds.
Those energy efficiency comparisons are pretty interesting! x86 is also improving, so I'm curious if there will ever be x86 phones.
PinePhone, PinePhone Pro and Librem 5 should have the best GNU/Linux or postmarketOS support, but their SoCs are not be as fast and energy efficient as other modern phones. You can check my short PinePhone review and there is also some information in this thread. PinePhone's battery will last a day only if you don't use the phone much.
Note that postmarketOS is not GNU/Linux, since it's based on Alpine and Ubuntu Touch is GNU/Android or something like that, since it uses the Android kernel. The most popular GNU/Linux distros are Mobian and Manjaro.
