It isn’t just a copypasta. As KnowYourMeme points out, it comes from Richard Stallman. Wikipedia has a good article about it here.
The term GNU/Linux is promoted by the Free Software Foundation (FSF) and its founder Richard Stallman. Their reasoning is that the GNU project was the main contributor for not only many of the operating system components used in the subsequent development of modern “Linux” systems, but also the associated free software philosophy.
Certain people get angry if you do not refer to it as GNU/Linux.
I’ve never seen this happen. I’ve heard a lot of people complaining about these people, though.
It’s like veganism. I’ve never met a militant vegan, but I’ve heard tons of people complain about them.
I think it’s an effective strategy to avoid taking about real issues.
I admit I don’t know much about it, but I got the impression that it’s great when you need a very minimal Linux system, like for Docker containers.
It’s the same reason why people argue about how to pronounce GIF. People get used to doing things one way and they don’t want to change.
This is a joke. Most people are not remotely concerned about these things.
You can’t be both the underdog and the king at the same time
So, you hate the New Testament, too?
Are you saying that Alex Jones said something…that was untrue?
“Hiccough” is a good one. I always hated that spelling and prefer “hiccup” for that reason.
TIL those are both pronounced the same way. (Gaol/jail is worse, though.)
Yes, English is weird, but this word still breaks rules. “Gh” (pronounced “f”) is never at the beginning of a word, and “ti” (pronounced “sh”) is never at the end.

Read it again, slowly.
The acronym RINOs refers to Republicans who do not adhere to someone’s preferred right-wing ideology.
Wouldn’t that be RWDNATSPRWIs?
But you can downvote on Facebook. In fact, Facebook is worse because it has a range of emoticons you can use to show your disapproval and/or mockery. So, instead of merely making a number go down, you can actually post a laughing yellow face or a frowny yellow face.
Yes. I find them on Bandcamp.
To some degree or another, all of them were insane, with about a third of them firmly in the grip of cyberpsychosis.
Wow! So, they really are an insane clown posse.
Downvotes should only be used for comments that are off topic, factually incorrect, hateful or made in bad faith etc.
How you think that people should use downvotes and how they actually use downvotes are two separate things.
If you don’t like it, the solution is simple. You don’t argue until you’re blue in the face to get people to change. You remove downvotes.
Downvotes are a bad idea. We should have upvotes only.
I like AI though.
Burn the heretic! Buuuurrrrrnnnn!
How do you shout over somebody in a text forum?
It was 10 days, but, yeah, not a lot of time, especially for one guy. (That one guy was Brendan Eich, by the way.)
