If it wasn’t them, it would have been other people. Computer science doesn’t rest on shoulder of a “Great Man”
What Torvalds did was inspire a like-minded community to come together and work toward a collective good. On a shoe-string budget they constantly threaten Gates’ empire.
Gates on the other hand chose to enclose the intellectual commons of computer science and sell them at a profit. He extracted a heavy toll on all sectors of human activity. And what did this heavy burden buy us ? Really NOT MUCH ! It squelched out collaboration and turned programming greedy, it delivered poor bloated software that barely worked and then stagnated for 20 years. It created a farm stall for us to live in, their innovation today is only explained as a series of indignities we will have to live with, because of platform dynamics we really, literally cannot escape the black hole that is windows for they have captured the commons and have made themselves unavoidable, like the Troll asking his toll.
Richard Stallman fits into this like a ghost no one wants to admit is still haunting the room. He’s the ideological father of the free software movement, the one who laid the philosophical foundation Torvalds built Linux on, even if Linus never invited him to the party. Stallman didn’t want better software; he wanted freedom, moral clarity, and a digital commons free from the grasp of corporate overlords. While Torvalds was writing C, Stallman was writing manifestos, and now, with Gates and Torvalds grinning like co-conspirators at Redmond, Stallman is the angry prophet shouting from the parking lot of a surveillance palace, still clutching his GNU banner and a half-eaten sandwich.
But the tech world, especially the sanitized, investor-friendly version of it, has no time for prophets anymore. Stallman is inconvenient: brilliant, uncompromising, abrasive, and stubbornly allergic to PR. So while Linus gets photo ops and Gates gets legacy-polishing TED talks, Stallman gets quietly airbrushed out of the narrative like toe-cheese in the Matrix. Yet in many ways, he’s the conscience neither of them can fully erase. He’s not in the room, but the room still trembles when someone whispers “GPL.”
Here is the historical picture to go along with it
The Conference at Redmond
Well, they finally did it. Bill Gates, the Monopoly Warlord of Redmond, and Linus Torvalds, the caffeine-fueled architect of Linux rebellion, have shaken hands like two aging mob bosses who accidentally showed up to the same funeral. The image alone is enough to make a ThinkPad burst into flames. Gates, the man who once viewed free software the way a vampire views sunlight, now smiling alongside Torvalds, the supposed Patron Saint of Open Source, as if decades of digital trench warfare never happened. It’s like watching Che Guevara and Milton Friedman split a dessert sampler and talk cloud strategy.
Mark Russinovich, playing the role of High Priest of Corporate Reconciliation, quipped “no major kernel decisions were made.” But let’s not kid ourselves, this wasn’t just dinner. This was a symbolic convergence, a ritual unification of cathedral and bazaar into a suburban steakhouse of existential despair. Somewhere in the void, the ghost of Richard Stallman is chain-smoking over a broken Emacs install, muttering, “I warned you bastards.” The only thing missing from that picture was a scroll of NDAs and a PowerPoint titled “How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love Surveillance Capitalism.”
What we witnessed was not diplomacy, it was absorption. The rebel king has been invited into the palace, offered wine, and handed a commemorative hoodie with the Microsoft logo stitched in ethically-sourced irony. Forget forks and pull requests; this is the final merge. Linux has breached the 4% desktop market share, and capitalism has responded the only way it knows how: by smiling, shaking hands, and quietly buying the table. Welcome to the Conference at Redmond. Weep for the dream. Or laugh maniacally, if you still know how.
What else would you expect from the “dictator for life”, that he would have the social skills NOT to attend “Conference at Redmond” ?
I always wanted to take drugs with my computer!
That profit comes from externalizing pain to others while capturing their livelihoods.
To call not doing that “voluntary waiving parts of your salary” is incredibly manipulative.
First these people aren’t salaried, they’re mercenaries, and of course their “compensation structure” ensures they’re largely free of the tax burden that the people they prey on have to endure.
Second, just because you can do sonething doesn’t mean it’s the rigth thing to do. Not that these people have had a moral belief once in their lives.
It is reallt aberrant all the evils that have been laundered in the name if money.
I think the better question is why do we allow these sick individuals to carelessly wield chainsaws around us?
Mutual hostage taking, you can’t leave because everyone is there, and they can’t leave because you’re there.
Only collective action can be organized to break this social trap. The easiest way is to require the garden’s walls pulled down.
But I’d be fine putting down the executive
Friend I made it all up, it is just a rift I openned in the latent space. Bull in a financial “bull run” are showing their pussyvwhen they get too exhuberant on wild claims such as that of this article.
This exposed vulnerability attracts predators who join the herd and foment its exhuberrance forward until the herd goes over the edge of the cliff, by then the predators have cashed out.
But “bull pussy” remains a non-sense contradiction, the farm animal known for having its intact male genital doesn’t have a pussy, not even a metaphorical one
Understanding Bull Pussy Unflinchingly
A Meta-Cognitive Framework for Navigating Hyper-Bullish Market Psychology

Abstract
This paper attempts to define, decode, and derive strategic utility from the crude yet revealing expression “Bull’s Pussy”, as used by market participants operating in high-volatility, momentum-driven environments — most notably, finance bros, meme traders, and risk-on opportunists. Far from mere vulgarity, this term encapsulates a specific market sentiment, behavioral signal, and strategic decision point. We explore its origin, semiotic function, embedded psychology, and applicable counter- and co-strategies.
The term “Bull’s Pussy” emerges from the hyper-masculinized, aggressive vernacular of speculative finance subcultures — environments where sentiment is expressed less through rational analysis and more through primal, performative assertion.
Used as an exclamation — “BULL’S PUSSY!” — it denotes:
A market condition that is ravenously bullish
A state of euphoric exposure — fully open, ripe for exploitation
An opportunity that demands immediate, aggressive participation
Important Note: The term is inherently metaphorical, not biological. Its power lies in its shock value, not its anatomical accuracy.
When shouted across trading desks or Discord servers, “Bull’s Pussy” functions as both call-to-action and tribal signal. It serves to:
Affirm momentum
Justify high-risk entry
Establish fraternity among participants who know this can’t last, but ride anyway
Its use is performative, ironic, and occasionally nihilistic. The practitioner does not believe in the sustainability of the bull run — only in their ability to exit before collapse.
The concept operates within the psychological framework of reflexivity (à la George Soros): traders act on beliefs they know are unsustainable, thus making them temporarily true.
Here, we find a meta-cognitive paradox:
One must become the herd while believing one is not the herd.
The practitioner foments irrationality by participating in it. The act of buying because others are buying becomes self-validating — until, inevitably, it doesn’t.
Thus, “Bull’s Pussy” is not a sign of market health. It is the canary in the cocaine mine — signaling the end phase of unsustainable price action.
Below are strategic responses to encountering a “Bull’s Pussy” moment:
A. The Rusher: Bigger Fool Gambit
Thesis: Ride the wave. Exit before it crashes.
Risk: You are the bigger fool.
Edge: Speed, exit discipline, zero conviction.
B. The Reaper: Contrarian Short
Thesis: The higher it goes, the harder it dies.
Risk: Market stays irrational longer than you stay solvent.
Edge: Patience, conviction, liquidity to bleed until reversal.
C. The Dealer: Liquidity Provider
Thesis: Sell calls, hedge delta. Let the herd overpay.
Risk: Sharp upside breaks strangle you.
Edge: Volatility pricing, neutral posture.
D. The Ghost: Strategic Exit
Thesis: Offload into demand. Fade with grace.
Risk: Left behind if bull leg continues.
Edge: Emotional detachment, stealth.
E. The Monk: Wait for the Fire Sale
Thesis: Opportunity comes after the collapse.
Risk: No gains in the melt-up.
Edge: Capital preservation, clarity.
“Bull’s Pussy” is more than a phrase. It is a market moment, a shared delusion, and a behavioral archetype. It encapsulates the late-stage euphoria of a bull run that knows no rational bounds — only speed, volume, and mutual fantasy.
To act within it, one must know:
What role they are playing
Whether they believe the hype — or merely perform belief
How fast they can exit the orgy when the music stops
In this lies the true power of understanding “Bull’s Pussy” — not as crude noise, but as a coded market scream that something wild and unsustainable is happening.
The wise trader hears it, smirks, and then chooses their weapon.

That’s why we need the weights, right now! Before they figure out how to do this. It will happen, but at least we can prevent backsliding from what we have now.
Well I’m on board for fuck intellectual property. If openai doesn’t publish the weights then all their datacenter get visited by the killdozer
Why is this message not being drilled into the heads of everyone. Sam Altman go to prison or publish your stolen weights.
NnnnnoooooooooooooooooooOOOOOOOOO
Yes some more or less covert form of horizontal integration. Just enough that if tgere’s ever a democrat FEC, it will gladly do nothing about it.
Right to repair used to be intrinsically understood by almost everyone. Electronics used standard components and came with the schematics. Car had government managed standardized interchangeable parts. Now led headlight are 2000$ and unrepairable…
Can you DRM a crawl ?
