October 14th, 2024 Richard Stallman (aka “RMS”) is the founder of GNU and the Free Software Foundation and present-day voting member of the Free Software Foundation (FSF) board of directors and “Chief GNUisance” of the GNU project. He is responsible for innumerable contributions to the free software movement, setting its guiding principles, organizing political action, and directly contributing to a flourishing free software ecosystem. The majority of Stallman’s political activity has been of priceless value to society at large.

    Damning, but nothing that hasn’t already been talked about for a while now. Just formalizing the review. He’s a creep who did some cool things with software. It’s time to move on and leave him behind.

        Went to look him up and the Wiki link showed as already visited. Yeah, I remember reading about this guy. Sad what mental health issues can do to people. Said the guy with mental health issues, fortunately less severe.

    Well, ick.

    I knew Stallman had some uh, wrong, opinions on some of that, but I think I need a shower now.

    Good thing there is no long list of signatories in this one. I had to double-check the open letter when it came out to make sure no one fake-included me there.

    Hope the nu crowd are winning their arguments hard… in their own echo chambers. Because no one else is going to even feel their presence outside of them.

    (found on /g/)

    Edit: LMAO, he wrote this on hn:

    I’ve read most of the report and it’s got a lot more than “last time”. Speaking as someone who has done a lot of my own research on Stallman’s bullshit, the depth of this report is astonishing. The allegations it makes regarding the conduct of the rest of the FSF is particularly alarming.

    Edit 2: Even more evidence
