Who controls glibc?

Here is a mantra every programmer should repeat every morning:

>RMS was right.

It doesn't matter what the topic, or how insane what he says sounds. He is always right and you're just not developed enough to understand why that's the case.

I bet RMS would have something really heated to say about blindly following a leader's every word.

Unless of course that leader is him, in which case his narcissistic side will gladly welcome it

I'm pretty sure this is sarcasm.

I really hope it is anyway, because otherwise it stinks of "long live the king"

If you look at his other comments in this I’m not sure it’s sarcasm.

A couple of questions for you:

1. What OS / distro do you use?

2. Do you have automatic updates enabled?

3. Do you use info pages in preference to man?

4. Do you use LibreJS?

5. Why did you link me to a YouTube video elsewhere in the thread? Did you wish for me to run non-free JavaScript?

There is no god but FOSS and rms is his prophet? This sounds like a religious argument on your end
