Tobias Bernard Speaks On GNOME Foundation Bans

So after Bill Gates decided to publicly make ridiculous remarks about the death of his friend Jeffrey Epstein there's news about a suicide committed by his most famous victim (it's in our Daily Links already) and we already know about GNOME and Microsoft people asking women to kill themselves because they decided to courageously blow the whistle (turns out the same people resort to other abuses against women or even literally strangling them).

Earlier this week we wrote a lengthy article about the GNOME role in all this and less than a day later it went "viral". One day later GNOME 'blew up' (other people in GNOME try to put out the fire without making things worse). Since then high-profile people in GNOME wrote about the problems they'd suppressed, Daniel Pocock responded to that last night, there are viral videos about it (e.g. "Tobias Bernard Speaks On GNOME Foundation Bans"), and it came just days after the Open Source Initiative (OSI) had come under fire by the same vloggers. The Foundation has gotten absolutely terrible publicity and bad reputation this past week; be patient and stay tuned because later this weekend we shall resume the OSI series. We have new information. The series may go on and on until June.

We're only getting started. The two SLAPPs against us [1, 2] motivate us to write even more about these profound (and typically interlinked) issues. It is abundantly clear that those SLAPPs are intended to censor us. The lawyers' letters are a giveaway.

"The role of the CoC at GNOME and those that pushed it into the project do need sunlight very much," one associate has said. Well, GNOME is controlled by GAFAM interests and there are some rogue elements in the project - ones we've not named yet. We'll come to that later this year. We've been doing lots and lots and lots of talking here. We mostly try to figure out the best order to tell the story, even if it can take years to tell the whole story, potentially occupying over a thousand articles. They try to stop us. It won't work.

If GNOME is melting down after last week's scrutiny (some long articles published here, leading to others elsewhere) imagine what years and years and years of that stuff will do.

We've fortunately attracted many whistleblowers, who have good reasons to trust us (we have 100% source protection record and we never censored anything) so we can capitalise on a good grasp of what's happening behind the scenes, based on the experts. If there was a book about it, the book would have to be split into volumes.
