Masks needed for protection from virus.
"Masks needed for protection from virus."

"Wearing masks in the community probably makes little or no difference to the outcome of laboratory‐confirmed influenza/SARS‐CoV‐2 compared to not wearing masks (RR 1.01, 95% CI 0.72 to 1.42; 6 trials, 13,919 participants; moderate‐certainty evidence). Harms were rarely measured and poorly reported (very low‐certainty evidence)."
Hhm, who to trust, dude named Hikaru or an actual medical study. I'm going to go with the medical study.
This thread's intended to be about RMS's talk: A tour of malicious software, not about mask wearing. Let's stay on track and avoid debates over mask wearing. Thank you for your cooperation.
All he said was briefly, "you should all be wearing masks, let's leave here as healthy as when we came in". It was probably required by the venue - Stallman himself has given a talks and interviews the past few years without a mask. I don't like being badgered about masks one way or the other, but this short admonition wouldn't have bothered me if I was in the audience.
He looked good, it was a good talk, and I'm glad that he's now speaking about the different forms of AI that are in the news. It's disappointing that the people in the audience could not prepare themselves to speak clearly when they asked questions. Stallman must get annoyed having to teach so many people how to speak correctly in order to be heard. I think young academic people probably tend to be mumblers.
Maybe PublicLewdness meant that they feared some virus may propagate through the video.
Such things have been known to happen. In fact such things may be one of the main threats we are currently facing. Of course, no such virus is to be feared from an rms talk. They are actually antidotes to many viruses.
"All he said was briefly, "you should all be wearing masks, let's leave here as healthy as when we came in""
Not entirely true. He also said "everyone here should have a mask. please don't endanger the other people here". It occurs starting around 26 seconds. I'm not going to sit through someone with no medical background tell me i'm endangering others. I tuned in for a software talk not to be talked down to by someone.
Now, this otherwise-would-be an interesting thread is all about wearing masks or opposition to wearing one.
Moderators, please tidy this shit up a little, will you.
We should be happy to have an opportunity to watch RMS give a talk.
"I see at least some people got it."
