So I sent those quotes to Richard Stallman: - https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=16081602 (this thread's original message) - https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=16081712 (the parent) - https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=16081700 ("Stallman is the hero we don’t deserve")

With some encouraging sentences to keep on making the world a better place.

He felt honored. He asked me to post this for him.

"Now that you recognize these problems are real, how about joining in the work to fix them? See gnu.org/help for a list of many different kinds of work that we need (programming is just one of many), then pick one and help!"
