Today I'm thankful for Richard Matthew Stallman

The '80s and '90s were brutal; companies fell like flies. Multics, Lisp Machines Inc, WordStar, Atari, Lotus, VisiCorp, Osborne Computer Corporation, IBM, and many others fell from grace or simply died. Even the great Apple came face to face with death

The decisions RMS took during this period were nothing short of genius. It's because of him that our beloved Emacs survived, that the Lisp machine still lives on in some form. Thank you, old boy
