I'm getting frustrated by this lying back-stabbing nonsense.

Yet, we must also acknowledge that Stallman’s behavior over the years has undermined a core value of the GNU project: the empowerment of all computer users.

That's incorrect and no proof of that is given.


GNU is not fulfilling its mission when the behavior of its leader alienates a large part of those we want to reach out to.

Because lying or repeating lies isn't ?

I know some of the names and people like Matt Lee abandoned Gnu social, fled on twitter and participated in the rms miss-haracterization mascarade, same for Christopher Lemmer Webber (except that he doesn't have a twitter account as far as I know).

Coincidentally the FSF is asking free software communities for advices ? For some reason ?
https://www.fsf.org/news/fsf-and-gnu

As part of our commitment to supporting the development and distribution of fully free operating systems, the FSF provides GNU with services like fiscal sponsorship, technical infrastructure, promotion, copyright assignment, and volunteer management.


Since RMS resigned as president of the FSF, but not as head of GNU ("Chief GNUisance"), the FSF is now working with GNU leadership on a shared understanding of the relationship for the future. As part of that, we invite comments from free software community members at name at domain.

What do you want me to say ? Don't change anything, as far as I know things were ok before inane people began screeching about something that didn't even happen.
Invest in Hurd maybe ? Idk.
I'll just send that:

I'm happy that the FSF asks the communities advice to where to go but it was already going in a good direction to promote software freedom even before RMS was removed from his position. But I fear that RMS seems to indirectly be again under the Damocles of ill intentioned people.
Bending over the people who created the precedent false/malicious narrative has only given validation towards these ill intended people and tarnished the community's viewing of the decision process done in the FSF and other foundations who supported these people.
What will people think when history will report that the founder of the GNU project and FSF was evicted from his own creation because some politically unstable people choose to act in such negative ways ? And that the FSF and other foundations accepted to welcome the decisions of these malicious beings ?
I wish the best for software freedom and the past weeks as showed that some influential, loud mouth people are more concerned about spreading political falsehood than sharing software freedom which is also damaging the foundation of trust that we collectively share.
Take care and good luck."

Edit:
I added at the end before "Take care and good luck."

Here are advices for the FSF as it asked, for one is to propose back RMS's post back.
Second one is to invest in Linux-libre/Hurd.
Third one is investing on hardware reverse engineering for the AMD binary blobs and laptop wifi cards.

And people in hell want icewater.

I would also like AMD to liberate their AGISA code and allow us to have 100% control over the PSP.

Why do people care? It's almost the FSF has actual authority. Stop caring about political figures and do something. Even if the FSF violates their core principles, we can still honour them. It's like when I look at the Libertarian Party and I see them as the "council of Ricks" and they have purity tests to see who the "Rick-est Rick" is, but the idea of a "council of Ricks" is very "un-Rick".

Centralization violates freedom at it's core. This makes about as much sense as begging the FTC to make an anti-trust case against the FTC. You're trusting a centralization, what do you expect?

I don't care for FSF Drama. All I care about is freedom. https://invidio.us/watch?v=KAMEHGTfh4w
