From his website stallman.org:

Richard Stallman has cancer. Fortunately it is slow-growing and manageable follicular lymphona, so he will probably live many more years nonetheless. But he now has to be even more careful not to catch Covid-19.

Recent video of him speaking at GNU 40 Hacker Meeting. Screenshots of video stream.

    Dunno why you of all people are insulting their intelligence.

    While they made a clever double reference to the GNU/Linux meme and tying it in with the Ballmer ‘Linux is cancer’ rant, you not only come out with a one word response, but that one word makes you look infinitely worse than the person who literally made a cancer joke upon news of a diagnosis.

    Maybe ableist slurs weren’t the best idea?

        Just because you ain’t got the braincells to make the connection doesn’t mean others can’t.

        Speaking of overuse, you sure are using the r-word liberally for someone who couldn’t get the joke. Or is it one of those “I’m black therefore I can use the N-word” kind of things?

            Why yes, that slur does apply to me! You see, I have autism and don’t take particularly kindly to that slur.

            Unlike you though, I actually have to tell people before they know there’s something wrong with me. Because, again unlike you, I can act like a normal human being. As opposed to acting like a 5 year old that just learned the r-word. Sorry, I can tell you need an explanation for these things!

                They are certainly cooler than you and I can tell that from three really stupid messages, you aren’t on Reddit anymore pal!

                What do you have to gain from being this rude to strangers and using slurs against them? This behavior is legitimately antisocial, and unless you’re literally 13 years old it’s inexcusable.
