r_schestowitzThank you. This will help shift the discussion back to facts, not gossip and misinformation.Sep 18 06:52
r_schestowitzPS - I spent all day yesterday, 3am until 8pm, tackling misinformation related to these accusations. I think I did a decent job overall and reached hundreds of thousands of people. It very much upsets me to see this; they did something similar to Jake Appelbaum. One day similar tactics could be used against me. Or anyone...Sep 18 06:52
MinceRdoes history matter if humans exterminate themselves?Sep 18 06:53

r_schestowitz"Sep 18 07:16
r_schestowitzRemember Eich's issue? When I showed it to my left-wing non-tech friends, they mostly smiled. They didn't valued the role of Mozilla in the IT world (as they know little about both), and focused on Eich's stain: "his bad, he should've know what he was doing". Sep 18 07:16
r_schestowitzI could write a lot of things, but I will not. Partly because I'm frankly depressed by the whole thing, and so I lack the energies. But there's one thing I'd like to take out of my chest right now: It's a terrible day, and I'm so, SO afraid by this.Sep 18 07:16

anthk_Hello, here is the new head from the FSF using Google Maps, and this is Jackass http://gallery.wjsullivan.net/v/public/East+Boston_+Boston_+MA+to+Sullivan+Square+-+Google+Maps+-+Chromium_002.png.html?g2_imageViewsIndex=1Sep 18 07:37

r_schestowitzkaniini: ask the person...Sep 18 07:38
r_schestowitzI am guessing that alludes to people being disguised with social causes for the purpose of advancing a corporate agendaSep 18 07:39
kaniininoSep 18 07:39
r_schestowitzmaybe I didn't understand the meaningSep 18 07:39
kaniinii understand that many people here are upset that RMS was firedSep 18 07:39
kaniinibut we must be certain not to allow this incident to play into the neofascist agendaSep 18 07:40
r_schestowitzanthk_: it just boils down to convenienceSep 18 07:40
kaniiniwhich may or may not have corporate alliance, i don't knowSep 18 07:40
r_schestowitzI don't think we need to pick on himSep 18 07:40
r_schestowitzhe's actually one of the closer to RMS people.Sep 18 07:40
r_schestowitzkaniini: yes, I put quotes around thatSep 18 07:41
anthk_another Spanish saying: en casa del herrero, cuchillo de paloSep 18 07:41
anthk_at smith's home, wooden knifeSep 18 07:41
r_schestowitzthe person who sent it is sort of liberal leaningSep 18 07:41
kaniiniwell, RMS, like everyone, is flawed -- and while there are clickbait articles that misrepresent what he wrote to CSAIL list (i have the entire thread and have read it multiple times now)Sep 18 07:41
danielinuxI'd suggest we should just ignore the fact from now on, take the focus away from RMS, and talk about the future of the movement, the foundation, etc.Sep 18 07:41
r_schestowitzkaniini: it's not goodSep 18 07:41
r_schestowitznot much to defend in itSep 18 07:41
kaniiniyes, the e-mail is highly unfortunateSep 18 07:42
anthk_if you are from the FSF you have lots of alternatives to gmaps, FFSSep 18 07:42
r_schestowitzbut the media did take it out of context, esp. in headlines, and that causes communal shameSep 18 07:42
kaniiniyes, i agree that the media leveraged it for clickbaitSep 18 07:42
r_schestowitzsee Michael MeeksSep 18 07:42
kaniinibut, it is important to understandSep 18 07:42
r_schestowitzhe wrote a decent rebuttalSep 18 07:42
kaniinithere is a lot of fatigue at FSFSep 18 07:42
r_schestowitzfor agesSep 18 07:42
kaniiniwith having to explain these thingsSep 18 07:42
r_schestowitzsince Peter Brown left if not earlierSep 18 07:42
kaniiniand also with certain decisions made by RMS as the head of FSFSep 18 07:42

-TechrightsBot-tr/#techrights-jxself.org | ArchiveSep 18 07:43
kaniinibut yes, RMS was done dirty by the mediaSep 18 07:43
r_schestowitzmaybe Bruce PerensSep 18 07:43
danielinuxkeeping the discussion on RMS is not good for anyone, and it's already harming the reputation of many, e.g. techrights. You know you cannot win, you should not insist on defending the man.Sep 18 07:43
r_schestowitzyes, exactlySep 18 07:43
anthk_jxself is the linux libre backer, among lots of projectsSep 18 07:43
kaniiniit's complicatedSep 18 07:43
anthk_he is the one who took RMS's "token" really wellSep 18 07:43
r_schestowitzdanielinux: I said I would not write about it anymoreSep 18 07:43
r_schestowitzif I said something in social control media, that's me aloneSep 18 07:44
kaniiniit's also frustrating to read about alleged microsoft conspiracy theories intersecting LGBTQIA folks (which is what "blue and pink hair people" is referring to)Sep 18 07:44
r_schestowitzI have something about patents on the way, about 3 articles, once I split them suitablySep 18 07:44
r_schestowitzkaniini: well, I cited the OSI thingSep 18 07:44
r_schestowitzsome in OSI tried to frame my critique as sexistSep 18 07:45
r_schestowitzeven though I never named a person or genderSep 18 07:45
kaniinii think you should say what you need to saySep 18 07:45
r_schestowitzat the end that person left their BoardSep 18 07:45
kaniiniit's just frustrating and disappointingSep 18 07:45
kaniinithat we are turning on each otherSep 18 07:45
kaniiniinstead of figuring out how to move forwardSep 18 07:45
r_schestowitzit's nothing news, it's the OSS/FS thingSep 18 07:45
r_schestowitzthe goals differ somewhatSep 18 07:45
r_schestowitzif someone wants to make "cheap code" for FB, I'm not a fanSep 18 07:46
r_schestowitzor make "Linux" for AzureSep 18 07:46
r_schestowitzwe just made commodity platforms for bad agenda and rigid programsSep 18 07:46
kaniinii'm here for software freedom, always have beenSep 18 07:46
r_schestowitzthat harm usSep 18 07:46
r_schestowitzI knowSep 18 07:46
r_schestowitzPeople like Mac Asay, for instance, are in it for AWSSep 18 07:46
r_schestowitzOr AdobeSep 18 07:46
r_schestowitzor whoever pays his agenda to move off copyleftSep 18 07:46
kaniiniMatt Lee has plenty of reason to be upset with RMS fwiwSep 18 07:47
r_schestowitzand those are a threat to the very goal set forth by GNUSep 18 07:47
r_schestowitzBlack Duck, Skyn, Zemlin/LFSep 18 07:47
kaniinithe FSF promised to take projects like GNU.io (which brought us GNU Social) seriouslySep 18 07:47
kaniinibut they never gave him the support promisedSep 18 07:47
kaniiniwhich is why Pleroma is it's own thingSep 18 07:47
r_schestowitzkaniini: you said that yesterday, but I don't know the context. I just know he said he had quit all GNU-related thingsSep 18 07:47
kaniinimattl wanted us to develop Pleroma under FSF umbrellaSep 18 07:47
r_schestowitzOh, I seeSep 18 07:48
r_schestowitzI was the most active user in identi.caSep 18 07:48
kaniiniwe said no, because FSF did not support GNU Social in the way that is necessary to build thisSep 18 07:48
r_schestowitzstatusnetSep 18 07:48
kaniiniit is similar with Mastodon btwSep 18 07:48
kaniiniMastodon devs turned Matt down, for the same reasonSep 18 07:48
kaniiniif you have to bootstrap an entire community infrastructure from scratch by yourself, why develop under FSF?Sep 18 07:49
kaniiniso, Matt has legitimate reasons to be mad at RMSSep 18 07:49
r_schestowitzI always wondered why Pleroma is modeled like statusnetSep 18 07:49
r_schestowitzFSF is an 80s thingSep 18 07:49
r_schestowitzpeople can federate nowSep 18 07:49
r_schestowitzno need for github and savannas Sep 18 07:50
kaniiniPleroma's default UI is modelled after StatusNet (well Qvitter) because it started as a rewrite of GNU Social ;)Sep 18 07:50
kaniiniyesSep 18 07:50
r_schestowitzahaSep 18 07:50
anthk_pleroma's amazing, it has even a gopher interfaceSep 18 07:50
anthk_useless, but it looks supportiveSep 18 07:50
r_schestowitzwell, I use that always since earlier this year, when the notification area became usable enoughSep 18 07:50
kaniiniFSF need to make a pivot to working on the current areas where software freedom is erodedSep 18 07:51
r_schestowitzlain wrote the gopher thing iircSep 18 07:51
anthk_on fsf, the sw page from savanah is chaosSep 18 07:51
anthk_inb4, I read some gopher sites at SDFSep 18 07:51
r_schestowitzkaniini: they're years behind, they haven't kept up with threatsSep 18 07:51
kaniiniyesSep 18 07:51
kaniinithis is what i meanSep 18 07:51
kaniiniwhy is this?Sep 18 07:51
r_schestowitzthey never even wrote about this listening devices ("smart" "assistant") crapSep 18 07:51
kaniinimorale is low at FSF, because RMS wanted to push a specific set of goalsSep 18 07:51
kaniiniGNUStep, DotGNU, GNU.io, LibrebootSep 18 07:52
anthk_RMS was wrong on TCL for example, against schemeSep 18 07:52
r_schestowitzthey keep advertising job openings -- a sign of departuresSep 18 07:52

kaniinigotta keep your eye on the ballSep 18 07:53
r_schestowitzTechrights wrote a lot about it a decade+ agoSep 18 07:53
r_schestowitzRMS took lots of flak for opposing monoSep 18 07:53
anthk_gnustep well, if it wasn't for gnomeSep 18 07:53
anthk_gnustep would be the GNU DE against KDESep 18 07:53
r_schestowitzMiguel would not be unemployed, Microsoft's door was always open to himSep 18 07:53
kaniinignustep killed as wellSep 18 07:53
