Richard Stallman's Talks in Switzerland This Week
DR. Stallman was in Switzerland (again). Maybe he still is. We know who else is in the area [1, 2]. It's where he first disclosed that he had gotten cancer (end of September [1, 2]) and celebrated the fortieth anniversary of GNU, which he calls his child.
The typical pages do not have his talks [1, 2] (not yet anyway), but his personal site started mentioning them only a few days ago:

We tried searching YouTube (via Invidious) for his talks, even if just a portion of these. No luck at this time... maybe the Swiss folks respected his wish not to upload to YouTube (and in proprietary formats, which it defaults to).
The 'cancer culture' looking to cancel him (if not give him bad health, even hoping for a suicide) didn't quite stop. We'll revisit some of the things they did next month and in May/June. The same tactics have been used against other people, including Eben Moglen. The responses here are akin to prebunking. We need to put an end to 'cancer culture'; it's trying to kill people and it is even swatting people. █
