Works about free software.
(lemmy.ml)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Raymond is a fucking fascist.
CW racism
He'd call himself a libertarian, but he's the kind of libertarian that wants to bomb muslims for hating our freedoms and thinks black people are just naturally more criminal because they have the crime gene or something, and no I'm not making this up.Plus he's one of the "open source" rebrand types, so as not to scare the ~~hoes~~ corporations with too much scary "free software" hippie communism.
First time hearing this and at face value he sounds like an asshole but I don't see how it's relevant to free software. The book itself is a classic which is still worth reading.
FOSS attracts a lot of strong personalities. Stallman is a weirdo but everyone still uses GCC and I'm still personally using emacs.
Raymond is so much worse. Since you apparently aren't convinced I pulled some quotes:
CW racism, homophobia, Islamophobia
Black people are stupid and violent:
Again:
Police should shoot black men (calls them "males" like they're animals), that's just rational:
Homosexuality and pedophilia are connected:
They hate us for our freedom:
Muslims are barbarians that need to be civilized by force to prevent the white genocide:
Nuking civilians is good actually:
Deliberate cultural genocide is what we need:
Sorry if it's OT, but I wanted to thank you! I thank you for this post, because it helped me identify one of our racist users who had replied to you and who had nested in our instance. Unfortunately we hadn't noticed him because he only wrote in English and only on the communities of other instances 😁. Posts like yours can also be used like luminol to find traces of biological fluids to eliminate...😁 😄 🤣
