Free software pioneer Stallman reveals cancer diagnosis

I always wanted to know what RMS looks like without his signature hair and beard, but never like this.

Wishing him good health and a speedy recovery.

I don't really have anything notable or profound to add. I just want to say that, setting all controversy aside, RMS is a titan, an icon, and a living legend, and I'm so happy that his treatment is going well. Here's hoping that he and his beard make a good recovery and he's around for a while longer.

Hope he gets well soon to be able to continue eating stuff from his feet. Or maybe that's what caused it? We should definitely study his lifestyle to maybe figure out a pattern.

Jokes aside, he's a very important figure for computing as a whole, but also a very interesting and quirky personality. Wish him the best.

I hear he still sleeps with a katana under the bed.

I cannot imagine a hairless RMS. He should have insured his beard and hair, just like Tom Jones’ insured his chest hair for $6.8 million.
