RMS missing from RMS AMA. (self.gnu)
submitted 1 year ago by [deleted]
Anyone know what happened? Scheduling conflict?
[–]mattlFSF staff[M] 14 points15 points16 points 1 year ago
Here's how it worked... The reddit folks, especially hueypriest, emailed me the questions, I formatted them a little better and sent them to RMS. I just got email from yesterday morning's replies to him, so I suspect I'll get them over the weekend, and we'll have his answers in the next few days.
[–]goldcoffee 5 points6 points7 points 1 year ago
Any new on this?
[–]mattlFSF staff 3 points4 points5 points 1 year ago
He has the questions, I suspect we'll see something in the next few days.
[–]xbrand2 1 point2 points3 points 1 year ago
Have you heard anything else from Stallman about the status of this interview?
just that he hasnt had a chance to respond to them yet. he will, he is just very busy finishing two books
[–]harlows_monkeys 7 points8 points9 points 1 year ago
We've hurd that before. Maybe Linus could help with the answers?
[–]JohnnyKreddit 0 points1 point2 points 1 year ago
I know it's been a while, but...
Where will the answers be posted once they are answered? I've been checking the AMA page, but I haven't seen anything.
[–]mattlFSF staff 0 points1 point2 points 1 year ago
They'll be posted on the AMA page. RMS is busy, and we'll get answers soon I hope.
[–]harlows_monkeys 0 points1 point2 points 1 year ago
Perhaps someone could set up a copy of Microsoft Project for him, to help with his time management problem. If he has time to lobby on the gnome list for them to change the license of the JavaScript on their web pages from gpl2 to gpl3, he should have time to finish the AMA.
[–]mattlFSF staff 1 point2 points3 points 1 year ago
I think it's a little unfair to suggest he should dedicate all his time to this.
[–]sartan 0 points1 point2 points 1 year ago
It's been at least a month?
[–]mattlFSF staff 2 points3 points4 points 1 year ago
Saw him yesterday, he's working on it. Hopefully we'll see some in-depth answers.
But yes, a month... he's busy.
[–]mr-satan 0 points1 point2 points 1 year ago
So....any updates on this?
Reddit have the responses, they should be appearing today.
Boy, I'd sure like to read an AMA by RMS.
Reddit has the responses. I'm trying to figure out why they've not been posted yet.
Any updates on this Matt?
I'm waiting for Reddit to post them. Hopefully it'll be next week now.
[–][deleted] 0 points1 point2 points 1 year ago
Do you know why they haven't already done it? Actually, if you're the one who relayed them to reddit (if I understand it correctly) couldn't you bypass them entirely and post them yourself?
They've been busy with reddit gold stuff.
I could post them, but they'll do a better job of promoting them. Next week -- it will be worth the wait.
[–]goldcoffee 9 points10 points11 points 1 year ago
From the question thread:
RMS will answer the top ten comments in this thread (using "best" comment sorting) as of 12pm ET on June 2nd.
It doesn't say when he will be answering them. :(
good point :P I was expecting it yesterday, this is the first AMA I really care about, also anybody mind telling me what AMA means? (I mean the definition, I know people answer question and such)
[–][deleted] 1 year ago
[deleted]
thank you :P
[–]martinmarkovski 6 points7 points8 points 1 year ago
He was in Skopje, Macedonia last night and had a speech. It was pretty awesome :)
[–][deleted] 6 points7 points8 points 1 year ago
I think RMS may have found some questions offensive and I think he won't do the AMA
[–]jon_k 6 points7 points8 points 1 year ago
The crontab he uses to fetch the page actually failed and he's having trouble with his latest build of EMACS so he can't edit the crontab. He refuses to use SED or AWK to edit his crontab because he doesn't get along with the authors of these programs.
One wonders why he doesn't just echo "blah" >> /etc/crontab but he's RMS, so give him a break.
[–][deleted] 2 points3 points4 points 1 year ago
Give the guy a break, it takes a lil while longer when you do all your internet browsing/emailing using wget.
Richard Stallman just trolled us all!!
[–]nuuur32 2 points3 points4 points 1 year ago
Just give it 48 hours.
[–]koblitz 4 points5 points6 points 1 year ago
I did, still not a single question answered.
[–][deleted] 1 point2 points3 points 1 year ago
I gave it a week
[–]ZorbaTHut 3 points4 points5 points 1 year ago
He'll reply to the questions about a month after Hurd is finished.
[–]muddylemon 2 points3 points4 points 1 year ago
He's sitting in gnu/IAMA wondering where everyone else is.
[–]grimboy 3 points4 points5 points 1 year ago*
I suppose the reddit crowd gives a pretty tough interview. Especially the top question. He really ought to steal himself and just do it no matter what. I'm pretty sure we'd all respect him more for it.
[–]FlyingBishop 4 points5 points6 points 1 year ago
s/steal/steel/
[–]grimboy 2 points3 points4 points 1 year ago
I'm a bad person. I apologise.
[–]birdlives 0 points1 point2 points 1 year ago
I'm sure he is working on them right now. He is pretty quick with answering emails
[–]meeiw 1 point2 points3 points 1 year ago
