| schestowitz | " I keep looking for a clear-eyed pragmatic argument for supporting Joe Biden. But as soon as the gaslighting start (e.g. "...he does seem like a decent man who actually cares about other people...") whatever suspension of disbelief I've managed vanishes." | Aug 29 23:38 |

| schestowitz | > I know, but when youve heard several lifetimes worth of bullshit already, a lot of it sounds exactly the same. Judge Judy is famous for saying (unoriginally, but not like shes asking for credit) "Dont pee on my leg and tell me its raining"... and heres Bruce with your local forecast! | Aug 29 23:48 |

| schestowitz | > Daniel is in the top ten easily, probably the top 5 for exposing things that show how badly things are going. a lot of what I was saying early on, I knew it was true, but I didnt have half as much idea how true until Daniel exposed what was going on at FSFE. | Aug 29 23:48 |
| schestowitz | > | Aug 29 23:48 |
| schestowitz | > I used to wonder if all of that could even be true. The longer this has gone on and the more Ive looked into it (I spent as much time poring over the Pocock stuff from every angle as other big projects I worked on-- if not more time, trying to find a very substantial hole in it) and maybe spent up to 1/3 of the time trying to Devils Advocate the FSFE into being innocent. | Aug 29 23:48 |

| schestowitz | > Plus where we had a pinhole into Debian corruption, this guy puts in a window seat. It is a damned shame that he shows zero interest in reform, but with his first-hand experience I would be cynical too (this is tongue in cheek, I'm sure most people think I'm cynical already. Even I think so at times.) | Aug 29 23:48 |

| schestowitz | > Derek Taylors "Unfettered Freedom" stuff is worth looking at. I think time and time again he is more neutral, more FOSS than FS, but at the very least I saw "Delete Github" in a big font on a blog he was showing on the video, and he uses Gitlab. He also uses a LOT of software from Github (I wont use qtile for example) but everybody does. And Daniel hosts there, ugh. | Aug 29 23:48 |

| schestowitz | > The next Free Software movement is going to come out of people who formerly were suckered into all this Open Source crap. Why? Because that's practically everybody at this point. And I don't just mean that rhetorically-- the init system for Trisquel is developed on Microsoft servers. The init system for Hyperbola (only the GNU/Linux version) is too-- openrc. Nearly all the free JS frameworks (including the one LibreJS is built on) | Aug 29 23:49 |
