Richard Stallman: Trento new addition

TWO days ago we pointed out that, starting this weekend, Richard Stallman would be giving talks in Italy. From what we can gather, this year's public talks by Richard Stallman only started a couple of weeks ago (late March) and he battles cancer, so the 'cancel culture' might not be the sole factor here.

Richard Stallman is going to also speak in Trento. From the respective page:

April 10^th, 2024 in Trento, Italy

Free Software and Your Freedom

Time: Wednesday, April 10^th, 19:45–22:45

Location: https://www.openstreetmap.org

The talk will be in English.

That is also mentioned in his homepage (screenshot at the top).

Now that Microsofters fling around the words "back door" (to distract from what really happened) one must recall what Stallman said about it decades ago [1, 2]. GitHub bad. Proprietary worse. █
