I wish Richard Stallmann all the best and many many more years to come.

His reveal starts at timestamp 02:00.

I wanted to link the original video from https://audio-video.gnu.org/video/gnu40/rms-gnu40.webm, but the server seems overloaded. I try to download it and host it on Peertube when i get the chance. For now i have to link a random source on Youtube unfortunately. (did not link to piped because that breaks the thumbnail..)

i do honestly emphatic for his well being and hope he'll be doing well in time, though i'm not personally a fan of his character

that said, it's surprising to look at the video, that he looks like a more normal person in appearance, just by losing out his usual trademark wizard looks

Stallman can be abrasive at times, but in the end, he's rarely wrong. He's passionate, and the world is a better place because of him

oh, that looks like ascites... hope he can recover, cancer is shit

Here is an alternative Piped link(s):

https://piped.video/watch?v=vUwQLsWjA-g

Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.

I'm open-source; check me out at GitHub.

also just half to add I'm surprised that Stallman didn't make a comment on the lady using an Macbook to read her question.

poor guy, he is very inspirational for fighting for digital freedom and I wish him many, many more years. also, I'm giggling to myself because I'm watching the video on GNU/Linux using Librewolf on Invidious. Long live FOSS
