The CoC Means the Founder of GNU/Linux Cannot Talk and a 72-Year-Old Man With Cancer is Somehow a "Safety" Risk?
RMS (Richard M. Stallman) gave a talk today and on the very same day some clowns decided to publish the following:
Notice what the CoC seeks to actually accomplish, in practice. How does this even make sense? A "commitments to safety" means not letting an old man with cancer speak to people who eagerly wait to hear him? He was recently re-confirmed by the Free Software Foundation.
Remember who pushed to cancel a keynote at FOSDEM. Projection, as usual.
Those who don't like RMS are not forced to attend his talks. It took less than a day for the cancel mob to blackmail the organiser/s. █
Bonus: The meeting is in Nuremberg. Given recent antisemitic attacks on RMS this may seem extra tasteless or seem to send a cryptic message. Also see "Deja vu: Hitler's Birthday, Andreas Tille elected Debian Project Leader again"; a few weeks ago it said: "We don't want to jinx Tille's first day on the job so we went to look at how each of the candidates voted in the 2021 lynching of Dr Richard Stallman. This blog previously explored the question of whether Dr Stallman, who is an atheist, would be subject to anti-semitism during the Holocaust years because of his Jewish ancestry. We concluded that RMS would have definitely been on Hitler's list of targets. We can see that Tille voted for option 7 [...] he did not want Debian's name used in the attacks on Dr Stallman. However, he did not want Debian to denounce the witch hunt either. This is scary. A lot of Germans were willing to stand back and do nothing while Dr Stallman's Jewish ancestors were being dragged off to concentration camps."
