Poor Stallman

I am so sad right now.

Don't be sad.

This is really depressing. It hurts.

RMS has a history of mistreating women and making them feel uncomfortable, unsafe, and unwelcome. For incidents relating to RMS and MIT, please see 0.

RMS’s views on rape and child sex laws were publicly discussed in the Fall of 2019, when Selam G wrote about them.1 Especially chilling is when Stallman addresses the accusations that Marvin Minsky sexually assaulted one of Jeffrey Epstein’s trafficking victims (Virginia Giuffre) by saying “but the most plausible scenario is that she presented herself to him as entirely willing.”2 RMS decries that this is not “sexual assault” because “‘assaulting’ presumes that he applied force or violence” while the report being discussed “says no such thing. Only that they had sex.”3 Rather than discussing this further, let’s instead focus on his personal web site, where he also shares his views on minors being "entirely willing."4 (Note: While several news reports misrepresented Stallman's position while discussing allegations against Minsky, Stallman has previously expressed opinions that were consistent with the inaccurate portrayal.)

He regularly and repeatedly makes comments about “the dishonest law that labels sex with adolescents as 'rape' even if they are willing."5 He compares United States law to Sudanese law in saying that “US laws that define 'rape' to include voluntary sex with under N years of age (where N varies)” and that “both laws falsify the meaning of ‘rape.’”6

Of a woman having sex with a minor, he said “I wish an attractive woman had 'abused' me that way when I was 14.”7 He directly addressed child pornography by saying that “making such photos should be a crime, and is a crime, but that is no reason to prohibit possessing copies of the photos.”8 He defended pedophilia, in general, in saying that “there is little evidence to justify the widespread assumption that willing participation in pedophilia hurts children.”9 (Note: RMS apologized for this comment on 14 September, 2019.Citation. Edit made: 24 March, 2021 - 08:50 EDT.)

In 2015 and 2016 RMS made three posts on his website about Down’s syndrome. He recommended that, should someone find out they are pregnant and the child tests positive for Down’s syndrome “the right course of action for the woman is to terminate the pregnancy.”11 He referred to people deciding to “carry fetuses with Down’s syndrome to term” as “perverse” and said that there is “nothing virtuous” in “[increasing] the number of people that have Down’s syndrome.”12 He also said that “when a fetus has Down's syndrome, you should abort it and try again.”13 On at least one occasion RMS likened having a child with Down’s syndrome to having a pet.14 (Note: Link 14 added 25 March, 2021 - 11:33 EDT.)

RMS has spent years on a campaign against using people’s correct pronouns. This is poorly disguised transphobia. In the original publication of the GNU Kind Communication Guidelines, he said “there are various ways to express gender neutrality in third-person singular pronouns in English; you do not have to use 'they.'”15 This text has since been updated, but is still transphobic.16 The main page on his web site includes the statement that “‘They’ is plural — for singular antecedents, use singular gender-neutral pronouns.”17

The original English letter reads "frequently known as RMS". This is a bad stretch from "also known as" and has no value. The history of his initials and his use of them is not picked up on in the letter.

Leave it if you will, but it translates into the Dutch sentence "vaak bekend als" and in my opinion it's not a strong opening for this letter. I was hoping to be able to adjust some small things in the Dutch translation of the letter: not just translating the words but also reordering a sentence "here and there".

That would mean however a less literal translation of the English words and idioms.

Also calling upon @DankDumpster, @catrope and @ehashman for their opinion.

Holy fuck these people are autists

Stallman's also an autist. Didn't do anything wrong but didn't have the self awareness to not write this stupid shit down.

1. Communication usually fails, except by accident.
(A) If communication can fail, it will.
(B) If communication cannot fail, it still most usually fails.
(B) If communication seems to succeed in the intended way, there's a misunderstanding.
(C) If you are content with your message, communication certainly fails.
2. If a message can be interpreted in several ways, it will be interpreted in a manner that maximizes the damage.
3. There is always someone who knows better than you what you meant with your message.
4. The more we communicate, the worse communication succeeds.
(A) The more we communicate, the faster misunderstandings propagate.
5. In mass communication, the important thing is not how things are but how they seem to be.

Majority of people on the planet discriminate against gays and similar queers,
are they all neo-Nazis or stalinists? Of course not. They follow traditional morality and conservative culture. They don't require totalitarian ideologues to guide their aesthetic ideals and cultural mores.

Don't you realize liberals and their pet LGBTQ alphabet soup culture is a
genetic and cultural dead end? Imagine a civilization that is 90% trans/gay/queers as the apex of its "cultural progress" and families don't exist.

Okay, Luke.

Apparently Stallman is being defended mostly by Russians and that crazed libreboot pedo-trannie.

Maybe he should just move to Russia?

The trannie needs a free one-way ticket to Russia too - Putin could enjoy some help building USSR 2.0.

It is true that Putin has corrupted and destroyed democracy in Russia and runs a corrupt and repressive regime, but war is not the way to deal with that.

*Navalny poisoning forces Merkel's party to ask: how do we hit back at Putin?* Here's a suggestion: switch to renewable energy as fast as possible. It's vitally necessary anyway, and it will eliminate demand for Russia's key exports (fossil fuels).

The cheater tried to set up a hotel deal in Latvia with businessmen linked to Putin, and also to corruption. This particular proposed deal was not necessarily wrongdoing on the cheater's part, but the long list of situations where he has been involved with associates of Putin adds up to a pattern of support for a foreign tyrant.

if you support far-left commie Stallman that means you're far-left yourself

Its going to an uphill battle to understand what is opposed:
We don't support Stallman because of his leftist/liberal/etc views,
we support him against SJWs who want to weaponize cancel culture, who
intrude into software industry with their Codes of Conduct, pronouns and
various post-modern marxist bullshit that alienates people, canceling
people for opinions irrelevant to their professional expertise.
Stallman can support whatever loony non-sense he can, its his private opinion - a right for free speech to advocate any position, not a matter of his professional integrity:
in a SJW eyes there is nothing 'personal' everything is subject to debate as
if every word was a invitation to public scrutiny, analysis and 'consequences'.
The method in which people are deplatformed, censored and cancelled from their jobs is what we oppose, not its victims character - its irrelevant if Stallman is a tranny-supporting loon, radical communist or a neo-nazi:
the people who use this suppression method(cancel culture) are anti-free speech and anti-debate, they're trying to be omniscient moral guardians to dictate how people should live with their "current year" political correctness theory.

Article 2

Everyone is entitled to all the rights and freedoms set forth in this Declaration, without distinction of any kind, such as race, colour, sex, language, religion, political or other opinion, national or social origin, property, birth or other status. Furthermore, no distinction shall be made on the basis of the political, jurisdictional or international status of the country or territory to which a person belongs, whether it be independent, trust, non-self-governing or under any other limitation of sovereignty.

Article 12

No one shall be subjected to arbitrary interference with his privacy, family, home or correspondence, nor to attacks upon his honour and reputation. Everyone has the right to the protection of the law against such interference or attacks.

Basically CoCs removed everything about opinions and (that's the whole point) introduced bullshit concept of "gender identity"

far-left commie Stallman

https://www.stallman.org/archives/2021-jan-apr.html#15_February_2021_(Fight_the_system)

I agree with Ms Farmand's criticism of capitalism as it is practiced by powerful companies in the US today — plutocracy, extractivism and dooH niboR — but I don't believe in eliminating all capitalism (all private business). Rather, I advocate eliminating the political power of business, and restoring democracy.

Russians are threatening the world peace. What do we do?! No! Don't use the superior NATO firepower to seize the hydrocarbons from these Mongols! Libyan scenario is not the solution! Instead West must switch to the wind turbines and play hippie music!

Ok, Ivan.

Stallman is a scientist, has an inquisitive mind, will question the world, the laws, the establishment, has traveled the world. Petty minds have never understood the language of great minds.

I'm not smart enough to have the same opionions as Stallman :(

Please sell copies of my book of essays, Free Software, Free Society,
if you can. In the US, Canada, Spain, Italy and Japan, you can obtain
published copies of this book in English, Spanish, Italian, and
Japanese. You don't need to put up any money to do this. Please talk
with rms-a...@gnu.org about how to do it. In the US and Canada, the
FSF will ship you these books.

>>47
If you use ordinary copying, and avoid fancy covers and bindings, we
can sell them for two or three times the cost of copying, and they
will still be cheap enough that many people will buy them. From the
proceeds you will first retain the cost of printing; we can divide the
gains between your organization and the FSF.

If you see any obstacle, whatever it is, don't just give up. Talk
with rms-a...@gnu.org about it! Most of the problems that might
seem difficult to you, we are already accustomed to solving. Give us
a chance to overcome the obstacle!

>>48
Some organizations feel that hospitality calls for providing me with a
business class ticket. That is indeed more comfortable, but an
economy class seat is good enough. Meanwhile, speaking is my main
source of income, and the extra price of a business class ticket would
be a lot more useful for me if I can spend it on something else. So
if you were thinking of spending extra for business class, how about
if you pay the extra to me as a speaker's fee instead?

>>49
Above 72 fahrenheit (22 centigrade) I find sleeping quite difficult.
(If the air is dry, I can stand 23 degrees.) A little above that
temperature, a strong electric fan blowing on me enables me to sleep.
More than 3 degrees above that temperature, I need air conditioning to
sleep.

If there is a substantial chance of indoor temperatures too hot for
me, please arrange _in advance_ for me to have what I need.

If you are planning for me to stay in a hotel, DO NOT take for granted
that the hotel has air conditioning--or that it will be working when I
arrive. Some hotels shut off their air conditioning systems for part
of the year. They often think it is unnecessary in seasons when the
temperature is usually in the mid 20s--and they follow their schedule
like stupid robots even if there is a heat wave.

So you must explicitly ask them: "Do you have air conditioning? Will
it be functioning for the dates XXX-YYY?"

In some hotels with central air conditioning, it simply does not work
very well: it can make a room less hot, but can't make it cool.
Before using a hotel that has central air conditioning, find out what
temperature it can actually lower a room to, during the relevant
dates.

Or look for a hotel that has a real cooling unit in the room, not a
central system. Those tend to work well enough, if they are not
broken.

Paying me a reimbursement or a fee:

Please pay my reimbursement or fee to me personally; do not pay it to
the FSF. The FSF and I have completely separate finances, and the FSF
never pays for my travel. The FSF welcomes donations, but please make
sure that money intended for me is not sent to them, because moving it
afterward would mean accounting headaches as well as extra work.

My assistant is not involved with my finances, so she cannot help you
with that issue. Please send questions about payments to me directly.

If you pay me by check, and you're not in the US, make sure to get a
check that lists a corresponding US bank--otherwise it will cost me a
fee to deposit the check. Please mail the check _in US dollars_ to:

Richard Stallman
77 Mass Ave rm 32-381
Cambridge MA 02139
Phone number: +1-617-253-8830

Do not mail it to the FSF!

A wire transfer is also a good method of payment. I will send you the
coordinates; ask if you need them. The bank you use will charge a
fee, and my bank charges me $10 for each incoming transfer; please add
those fees to the amount, rather than taking them out of what I
receive.

If you are outside the US, please convert your currency to dollars in
your bank, then use one of the above methods to pay me the dollars.
My bank gives very bad exchange rates; yours is surely better.

Cash is also fine.

If you want an invoice, I will be glad to give you one. Let's work
out what it should say by email before I arrive. Please also check
before the visit whether you need any other forms, such as tax forms.
I would like to be able to take care of any necessary forms while I am
there, rather than wait till afterward.

>>52
So I like to go to restaurants that are good at whatever kind of food
they do. I don't arrive with specific preferences for a kind of food
to eat--rather, I want to have whatever is good there: perhaps the
local traditional cuisine, or the food of an immigrant ethnic group
which is present in large numbers, or something unusual and original.

So please don't ask me "Where do you want to eat?" or "What kind of
restaurant do you want to go to?" I can't make an intelligent
decision without knowing the facts, and unless I am already familiar
with the city we're in, I can only get those facts from you.

The only general thing I can tell you is that what I like or dislike
about a meal is the sensation of eating the food. Other things, such
as the decor of a restaurant, or the view from its windows, are
secondary. Let's choose the restaurant based on its food.

A good approach is to ask around *in advance* among your acquaintances
to find people who like good food and are familiar with the area's
restaurants. They will be able to give good recommendations.

>>53
I enjoy delicious food, and I like most kinds of cooking if they are
done well (the exception being that I cannot eat anything very spicy).
If I am ordering from the menu in a restaurant which has a variety,
there's no need for you to worry about the question of what I like; I
will take care of it.

But if you want to cook for me, or invite me to a restaurant that
specializes in just one thing, or invite me to dinner with a preset
menu, you need to know what I dislike:

avocado
eggplant, usually (there are occasional exceptions)
hot pepper
olives
liver (even in trace quantities)
stomach and intestine; other organ meats
cooked tuna
oysters
egg yolk, if the taste is noticeable, except when boiled completely hard
many strong cheeses, especially those with green fungus
desserts that contain fruit or liqueur flavors
sour fruits, such as grapefruit and many oranges
beer
coffee (though weak coffee flavor can be good in desserts)
the taste of alcohol (so I don't drink anything stronger than wine)

Don't ever try to decide what food I should eat without asking me.
Never assume that I will surely like a certain dish, merely because
most people do. Instead, ask me in advance!

As long as there are many alternatives to choose from, there will be
no problem.

>>53
This is why "I Don't Know" is such a great restaurant name.

Where do you want to go?
I don't know.
Ok, I love that place.

proprietary software makes frogs gay.

The main error is that Linux is not strictly speaking part of the GNU system—whose kernel is GNU Hurd. The version with Linux, we call “GNU/Linux.” It is OK to call it “GNU” when you want to be really short, but it is better to call it “GNU/Linux” so as to give Torvalds some credit.
