Not just software. Hardware too. Open up all the things! I want a full schematic printed on the back of my refrigerator again.

Technically all the hardware (but microcontrollers) is open, as long as you have a screwdriver

I'm not too familiar with the ITS, but hearing the monumental work done during the 1960s and 70s surrounding operating systems is something I can't fathom.

He really stands for so much in the philosophy surrounding FOSS... Ironically, if it weren't for the Ted Talk on YouTube that I watched from him a year ago, I wouldn't have known about his existence.

Hope he recovers, it's different to see him without his signature long hair and beard :(

He doesn't do himself any favors. He truly ruined his legacy with his options. His software vision was always an uphill battle and he fell short of being a good leader. His strong stances have their place but it's easy to dismiss them because he's a crackpot.

That speech transcription absorbed me, I ended up reading it all. I consider that I have even learned things from it.

Same, I've now read 1/2 of it and want to continue but I have to go to sleep haha
