    I doubt anyone is listening to Stallman when it comes to relationship advice. He’s not exactly known for behaving well around women.

    He’s a creep with good intentions for software freedom. It’s unfortunate that he turned out to be such a creep because he did do a lot for the free software cause, and it’s even more unfortunate that the FSF was willing to take him back in. That cost them at least one board member, their advice position with the people behind LibreOffice, the (moral and financial) support of Red Hat, and the sympathies of countless others online.

    I don’t think the consequences of his FSF position are that different of a topic. Stallman hasn’t committed any crimes as far as I know, but his morals are questionable and his behaviour and reputation are damaging the FSF mission.

      Btw Redhat is working on rewriting code to remove racist trigger words like “slave”,“master”,“white list” and “black list”. Its crazy efford but I am really happy about that

        Calling those words racist is absurd. Especially slave and master. It’s literally the function of the device.
