   @waltercool@pl.slash.cl @Suiseiseki@freesoftwareextremist.com @freetar@freesoftwareextremist.com This is a spicy topic but the more freedom the better, the problem around these is that gnu/losers aren't smart enough to bring more people in, all around open source, much less libre software, is a niche thing. Even if they are interested. Restrictions aren't there to work against the users but against the companies that restrict your freedom (actually against governments aka communists)

     @waifu @Suiseiseki @freetar What about Hurd?
     
     Even a mentally ill person like Terry Davis did a functional Operative System before GNU/tards

     @waltercool @freetar @waifu Totally braindead.
     
     Terry Davis was only able to write TempleOS due to GNU.
     
     GNU/Hurd is in fact more functional than TempleOS.

     @waltercool @freetar @waifu >More liking to wikipedia.
     TempleOS didn't even have a networking stack - thus calling it finished compared to GNU/Hurd which has a networking stack is ridiculous.

     @waltercool@pl.slash.cl @Suiseiseki@freesoftwareextremist.com @freetar@freesoftwareextremist.com What about it? it's a micro kernel so it was kinda doomed from the start from what i've heard

     @Snidely_Whiplash @freetar @waifu @waltercool Totally braindead.
     
     Hurd development started before Linux was even announced.
     
     GNU Linux-libre is GNU's primary kernel.
     
     People have built giant infrastructures on top of GNU, with Linux as one component and actually believe it's all Linux.

     Hurd is shit. It was an attempt at dick-measuring by Stallman, and he failed. Linus just has a bigger dick.
     So go, use your unusable, unstable and functionally useless kernel, and those of us that have made a career and built giant infrastructures out of Linux will ignore you, as you deserve.
     You will be COMPLETELY FREE! to wallow in uselessnes and ideological purity.

     @Snidely_Whiplash @freetar @waifu @waltercool We're hitting levels of braindead that shouldn't be possible.
     
     Yes, Stallman showers when a shower is available, otherwise he washes his hair in a bucket - for some reason people are always surprised that he keeps himself clean.

     Has Stallman learned to shower yet?

     @Suiseiseki @freetar @waifu @Snidely_Whiplash And still GNU can be replaced.
     
     GCC is one of the major offenders here, as they introduce custom C/C++ functions (GNU-C) away from the standard (ANSI) and force all their software, including glibc, to use those.
     
     That makes any compiler like Clang very difficult to be a fully replacement to compile GNU solutions and Systemd.
     
     Eventually, they will force people (including myself) to fully replace all the GNU infrastructure as they don't abide to the C and C++ standards.
     
     GNU way of imposing their standards (like Microsoft) are actually boosting the alternatives.
