In a surprising move, open-source software guru Richard Stallman has announced plans to launch his own brand of smartphones, running on the GNU/HURD operating system and programmed entirely in LISP. The cherry on top? These smartphones will reportedly sport a 486 processor, which Stallman believes is all that's necessary to run GNU console apps.

The announcement has left many in the tech industry scratching their heads, with some questioning the viability of such a project. However, Stallman remains undaunted, insisting that the combination of GNU/HURD, LISP, and a trusty 486 processor will make for the ultimate open-source smartphone experience.

According to sources close to Stallman, the phones are set to hit the market as soon as the GNU/HURD kernel reaches a stable status. However, given the notoriously slow pace of development for the GNU/HURD kernel, it remains to be seen whether Stallman's project will ever come to fruition.

Nevertheless, Stallman's fans remain optimistic, with many eagerly awaiting the chance to get their hands on one of these unique devices. After all, who wouldn't want a smartphone that runs entirely on LISP and is powered by a processor that was last popular in the 1990s?

Despite the uncertainties surrounding the project, one thing is clear: Stallman remains committed to his vision of open-source software and will stop at nothing to bring it to the masses. Whether that means launching a brand of smartphones programmed entirely in LISP, only time will tell.
