TL;DR Awards - Richard Stallman
[2022 Winner... so far]
The "Too Long Didn't Read" award goes to Richard Stallman for:
- Time killing
He would read what would be enough from my side and then ask "Can you write that in 10 sentences or less..." when it was said in many ways he could summarise instead of asking for more text he couldn't handle lol)
- Illogical Repetition
Even in less than 10 sentences he did not answer many things which would seem very similar / aligned. That was measurably strange / illogical for me.
- Spent time writing many emails to me but seemed that was mostly it (felt like he was waiting or not sure but never said)
- For not jumping out of text and into audio chat or another way to alleviate limits of text (which I believe many in technology don't even see the point of... like 'why to talk?' or 'forget being human just text only'
- Didn't see it saves time to talk or even try it.
So for unsaid reasons...despite answering whatever else he wanted to answer in my previous emails... I declare a lot of TL;DR here and possible selfishness (though there may be another 2022 winner hold tight!) and again I wasn't expecting much but the fact someone doesn't say fuck off is also an indicator
- Saying himself he doesn't know how to deal with many emails
(*despite my solution* of just audio chatting for 10/20mins instead of 10's of emails at least with me which killed time on both our side. I gave him Jitsi link to audio chat (or BigBlueButton would be ok) but no bueno and no answer why not to try.
- Mr. Stallman didn't even say why not for many things or even accept it would save time of 1 chat instead of 10's of emails incoming and outgoing (reading and writing etc) ^_^
I have to admit there is a heart in the picture because:
- He did reply
.. but there was *some* *very selective logic* and you probably assume any hero's or fame is sure to overwhelm people
BUT when we solve the email problem (which for me is audio chat) then progress can be made).
I told Mr. Stallman on a lack of will or trust basis I felt I had to withdraw.
Overall very fast to respond but was a bit avoidant at many DIRECT questions I even repeated simply in 1 line and asked politely !
(I wouldn't care if he would say a bit about why not or even no or something but would continue as if I didn't write - and that's a sure TL;DR person)
Nice guy - can't do his emails (as most can't) and can't jump into audio chat after 10+ short AND long emails.
Gotta learn to change weapon sir Stallman of the Good-Guys.
Time is ticking.
#TLDR Awarded / Didn't answer many parts / Could use audio chat instead
I could re-write this but it's probably not worth my time until I'm motivated- but at least you got some insight for now and if you have a brain can pick the best and learn from it, unlike some people... ^_^
