leaving a message just because it’s important that stallman knows there are many people wishing him well, and how much respect there’s for him. I kindly invite others to leave a message as well.
RMS, you are a world class hero. It scares me to imagine a world where one needs to audit on perpetuity or reverse engineer everything just to have a little peace of mind. I wish for activists with your passion and energy in every field of knowledge.
Here here! 🍻 We need more Stallmans in the world! My views on software, privacy, and so much more are informed greatly by his ideas and work. He’s a legend.
Fuck cancer. Get well soon, Richard.
legit made me very sad when I saw the pics, wish he gets well soon!
He always looked like a FOSS Santa, this is really weird.
RMS is the patron saint (and prophet) of open source. Like all saints he can be an A-hole zealot.
I want to thank Richard for being the a-hole zealot the world has needed. The whole F-ing world is in debt to his relentless, tireless work.
I don’t want to be pedantic in reply to a heartfelt comment but since I believe Richard himself would say this: he advocates for free software which is fundamentally different from open source.
You’re right, and anyone who thinks otherwise should check out Revolution OS. He speaks about it in detail.
Here is an alternative Piped link(s):

Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.
I’m open-source; check me out at GitHub.
Good open-source bot!
He’s someone I think who will truly be appreciated when its to late. Like when we’re getting our amazon anal trackers inserted by our yearly google healthcare visit we’ll have a moment that we should have appreciated him morw
We won’t be licensed to have that thought due to the Musk chips in our brains, without which we will be unable to get health insurance.
I really hope he gets well.
Why bad things always happen to good people.
Fun fact, Richard Stallman named one of the FOSS games I worked on. I wish the very best for him.
Flare?
Indeed. It used to be called OSARE (Open source action rpg engine) until RMS pointed out it should be Free/Libre not Open Source. So we changed the name!
I hope this fucking legend gets well and keeps carrying on.
Seeing how he looks now is incredibly sad. I really hope he makes it though this.

He looks so smooth. 5 year survival for that is pretty good, and at his age he’ll likely make a good run of it.
RMS! RMS! RMS!
GNU ! GNU! GNU!
🫡 stay strong, Mr. Stallman
One human spirit. Well wishes.
Keep fighting RMS and beat it.
Why would you wanna fight RMS? I mean some of his views are controversial, but he ain’t a bad guy.
Sad news about a pioneer of internet freedom. He has earned his fair share of criticism and detractors, but he has also given a lot to the Linux and free software ecosystem. I personally run !boinc@sopuli.xyz on all my rigs to support open-source cancer research, I hope one day we can finally cross cancer off the list of humankind’s foes.
