My reaction: [LINK] For anyone interested in the toe cheese incident: [VIDEO] I'm not trying to malign Stallman here, but you can't deny this is interesting.
Read original comment ↗If it wasn't for this article pointing to the reedit post, I would have never discovered this juicy, delicious, and distasteful video of Stallman eating his foot pickings. [VIDEO] That literally brightened my day. Brilliance is questionable if it means this is the end result!
Read original comment ↗"We apologize for the inconvenience caused with watching the video of the interview. Richard did not want to upload this interview in youtube as it is not free ('free' as in free speech/freedom, not price). He also wanted us to use a non proprietary video format like ogg theora and not the patented formats like mp4. When we chose to use dropbox to stream the video, dropbox suspended our accounts for generating excessive traffic. Kindly download the video from the icon below." How fitting that an interview with RMS should be preceded by this. I wonder if he realizes that he's already got a youtube presence? [VIDEO]
