@pesekcuy @bonkmaykr Sui literally takes everything the FSF and GNU project says as gospel. He will even scold you if you use the word "Linux" to mean the whole GNU+Linux operating system or if you use the word "FOSS".
That's a point that I forgot to bring up: the FSF's insistence on using certain words. I agree that using "Google" or "Photoshop" as verbs for searching and photo editing respectively does re-enforce their monopolies, but I never understood why Stallman insisted that you don't use the word "hacker" to refer to security breakers. That has nothing to do with software freedom. That's just him defending some subculture that doesn't even exist anymore.
I will scold you if you call GNU, "Linux" or refer to free software as "FOSS".

He insists you not use the wrong word to describe crackers and smear him.

The hacker subculture does exist - many people know what a hack is and what hack value is and that it has nothing to do with cracking except the rare crack that requires playful cleverness to pull off.
