r_schestowitzOOF!Dec 21 06:07
r_schestowitzthats a real shot across the bow. and i admire your candor, there are so many fake voices creating a din right now. my hopes for the fsf are small, but i have at least a bit of renewed faith with oliva on the board (imo thats the best thing to happen to the fsf in a long time, and not at all expected.)Dec 21 06:07
r_schestowitznow you often know something i dont, which could be a game changer. so this is not a critique, just a minor difference of opinion.Dec 21 06:07
r_schestowitzi think as long as the fsf is around, salvage is likely worth trying. because it isnt merely “a free software organisation.” it is the homeworld of free software. i strongly agree that creating new worlds is beneficial-- i wrote a book about it. but may i say: “fixing fsf AND making an alternative?” this is no joke. perhaps the latter is more likely than the former. but we got into this to do the impossible, and sometimes that Dec 21 06:07
r_schestowitztakes a while. i certainly dont think we should put all our eggs in that basket, but i think we can “spare a dime.” anyway, this technically doesnt negate your statement. it is closer to an “okay, but…”Dec 21 06:07

r_schestowitzI’ve told people that you want them to stay with the FSF, and why you don’t want them to leave but that it’s better to make certain they continue to promote the core ideals of free software. That’s what the FSF should be doing. Unfortunately, the FSF is not very good at listening to its members. The way it is structured, (according to someone who used to work for the FSF) an associate membership does not give anybody much Dec 21 06:08
r_schestowitzinfluence or ability to hold the FSF accountable. I know this first hand, I was a member years ago.Dec 21 06:08
r_schestowitzFor what it’s worth, I agree with you on people staying. I don’t believe the FSF is likely to get better if all the pro-free-software, pro-stallman people leave. And if the FSF were ever to let members influence it more, it would be important for it to do that much differently than OSI did.Dec 21 06:08

r_schestowitzim sure this is true regarding the people who said it initially, but i never thought rms would have a say in it, and i only answered the question because you asked.Dec 21 06:12

r_schestowitzone of my favourite things to ask people who make comments like this is–Dec 21 06:12
r_schestowitz“alright, say you managed to do that today. what would you do as a result?”Dec 21 06:12
r_schestowitza lot of times people are hung up on an intermediary step that they believe is required to accomplish the goals afterwards.Dec 21 06:12
r_schestowitzif you define the aftergoals out loud, sometimes there is a route to them that is more likely to be achieved. so this is a practical exercise that goes beyond mere curiosity. (of course if its the stuff you already wrote about, you dont need to go to the trouble of repeating yourself.)Dec 21 06:12

r_schestowitz> you changed gender-neutral "protege" to gender-specific protegee, when i was actually referring primarily to a male. the accent marks are fine, but if i had the ability i would fix this myself.Dec 21 07:26
r_schestowitz> Dec 21 07:26
r_schestowitz> whether you correct it or not, im content to have mentioned it. im also pleased that it was reshared by someone at the fsf. cheers and thanks again for what you do. this is a quibble, im very grateful for it.Dec 21 07:26
r_schestowitzYes, I was aware it's the female form. Spanish, French etc. have genders in words. Sometimes it's good to alternate genders, as RMS does, when referring to a hypothetical person of an unspecified one (undefined, template). Sometimes he alters genders even in the same sentence. "He can code... she can share".. I noticed that several times.Dec 21 07:26
r_schestowitzThe gender 'politics' can be crazy at times. Because of those who are too sensitive.Dec 21 07:27

r_schestowitzmy concern is the “when good people do nothing.” angle.Dec 21 07:30
r_schestowitzthe corporate corruption is a given, its the good people doing something that keeps it out. once that stops, the given becomes more relevant and urgent. it becomes “do or die” in terms of organisational relevance, and linux foundation has already opted for “loot the body.”Dec 21 07:30

A world where everything is planned by someone (could be a god, goddess, or devil, but doesn't have to be) is a world where everything might serve some purpose or have some meaning, even the death of your child.

r_schestowitzno, fundamentalism does that. ive told people a thousand times, its simple algebra. if you take the religion out of fundamentalism, you still have people killing each other and destroying peoples lives over money, government, race, jealousy-- you still have companies like microsoft and monsanto. you still have the dod, saudi oil and kings and queens.Dec 21 07:52
r_schestowitzyou take the fundamentalism out of religion on the other hand, and religion is harmless. so fools go after religion as the culprit, but they should go after bloody fundamentalism. its the real problem. you can make a jealous, spiteful god out of anything, and its just as bad when you make it out of religion.Dec 21 07:52
r_schestowitzlistening to atheists pretend they have the solution when all they want to treat is a symptom is just inane. fundamentalism is the cause and its still deadly when religion is gone-- but then so is star trek, so is martin luther king, so is the dalai lama. you idiots tell me how the dalai lama is a bigger problem than people killing each other over money and race, fucking go ahead-- the argument is as stupid and poorly thought out as Dec 21 07:52

r_schestowitzflat earth. you just dont get that humanity is just as capable of the same kind of categorical stupidity on its very worst day over other matters than god-- the stupidity you think religion causes is clearly something else. but its bad when it combines with religion, too. its bad when it combines with anything. religion played a minor role in hitlers regime, it would have happened with or without religion, but atheists are so full of Dec 21 07:52

r_schestowitz> the part about not blaming her personally isnt rhetorical, incidentally. i got the firm impression that she wasnt writing those words from the heart and they dont reflect her true feelings-- thats an argument in her defense, and it further removes blame from her participation. im actually involved in a debate about this very thing, where i am repeatedly taking her defense.Dec 21 07:54

r_schestowitz                        <p>On December 19, Mozilla announced that it will switch to Matrix and Riot as the main synchronous communication platform, replacing IRC. This post is aimed to give you an introduction to using Riot, the most popular Matrix client, with a screen reader. </p>Dec 21 10:37
r_schestowitz                        <p> Matrix itself is an open standard protocol that defines how a chat client, such as Riot, talks to a server, such as Synapse, and how servers communicate to each other to exchange messages in shared, or as is the jargon, federated, rooms. In the Matrix network, rooms can be federated across the whole network, so no matter which server you choose as your home server, you’ll get the messages in rooms you join Dec 21 10:37

schestowitzMr. Epstein may have had ties to people in leadership positions at the lab before meeting Mr. Ito. In a deposition unsealed this month, a woman testified that, as a teenager, she was told to have sex with Marvin Minsky, a pioneer in artificial intelligence, on Mr. Epstein’s island in the Virgin Islands. Mr. Minsky, who died in 2016 at 88, was a founder of the Media Lab in the mid-1980s.Dec 21 18:20
