Hasn't LibrePlanet been an echo chamber since the very beginning? Would it really be such a big loss if they'll stop inviting Richard to talk about the same old four freedoms in front of the same crowd? What's the point of giving speeches about free software to the people who already use free software?

>>1009416 (OP)

I would ban all these signers instead, since they are acting as agients proprietary/cuck software by sowing discord in the free software community.

>Two months ago, some fellow LibrePlanet speakers emailed to ask if I had heard about Richard M. Stallman’s remarks in 2017 that the Safe Space Policy (i.e., code of conduct) didn’t apply to him

TopGNU! RMS cucking social justice culture again.

WEW, again accusations coming from someones arse. Like when the FSF licensed someone because that person was specifically a tranny.

>Therefore, I can’t say with confidence that LibrePlanet organizers are empowered to “provid[e] a harassment-free LibrePlanet experience for everyone,” to quote the policy.

>to “provid[e] a harassment-free LibrePlanet experience for everyone,”

You could bring a BFG9000 to kill the potential harassers, harassers will come as long as you have a definition of harassment that makes 99% of the population harassers.

>I suppose the FSF could take the Safe Space Policy down this year,

And the earth would still spin around the sun.

> It’s pretty succinct and focuses on harassment being unacceptable at the conference.

The law already covers that. If someone harasses someone else call the cops.

>This situation is not good for the future of the free software movement

What would be not good for the free software movement is conquer and divide tactics, like the one that these people signed for.

>Christopher Lemmer Webber

This is actually very interesting. Webber isn't part of the FSF anymore and has been replaced by someone else.

What's interesting too is that other people are trying to redefine, redirect "free software" by trying to make for example a logo for it (the GNU logo is more than enough), or by trying to redefine other kind of popular networks, so that the attention is directed towards the ones who came with the new definitions.

>There have been multiple instances of inappropriate behavior over the years at LibrePlanet

Proof or gtfo!

> For example, there is a recording of RMS explicitly saying that as president of the FSF he is not subject to the rules in the Q&A of this talk

And president Obama still as presidential immunity and will never be judged for validating the continuation of PRISM. Your point is ?

>>1009421

>Would it really be such a big loss if they'll stop inviting Richard to talk about the same old four freedoms in front of the same crowd?

Imo RMS is more of a symbol of freedom nowadays, is speech are still encouraging and fairly simple to newcomers.

>What's the point of giving speeches about free software to the people who already use free software?

Because libre plannet also attract newbies who don't know about free software.

>>1009431

This

Proof please.

>>1009433

(checked)

What are they even doing there? Have they produced a single line of useful code?

>>1009416 (OP)

>Pls ban RMS because he hasn't subscribed to our newsletter

What a bunch of faggots really.

Has RMS responded yet?

Someone please email him regarding his response.

CoC infringed freedom 0 in free software and here's why

(freedom 0)The freedom to run the program as you wish, for any purpose

What if I want to make an A.I bot software that have antisemitic trait as apart of its characteristic. According to COC agreement, I am not allowed to do this. Therefore, the adoption of GPLv3 license onto software is useless when the COC were added.

>>1009485

When will we finally get free as in freedom gas chambers?

>>1009465

It's a place to get together and exchange ideas in person. At least that is the intention behind conferences.

Conferences are fine in themselves themselves. However, conferences have degenerated into social clubs where you get together and the theme of the conference is just an excuse to have a conference and maybe give a reason to your employer to finance your trip.

>>1009485

You can still build your free as in freedom gas chambers, it's just that no one will want to talk to you. Or to anyone who would talk to you.

>>1009492

found the kike

>>1009465

>What are they even doing there?

Trying to gain control of the FSF leadership.

Just read their bullshit they have nothing and even tho they try:

https://octodon.social/@cwebber/101257297407315956

They don't even link or show proof of their accusations.

>Have they produced a single line of useful code?

They all did more or less software.

What webber is trying to do tho and has successfully shilled for is the ActivityPub protocol standard at W3C for Mastodon and for some reason it passed quite fast. But that's all EEE shenanigans with MS, github and journalists in the background.

I don't think they understand whom they're dealing with here. Stallman is an autist like Ralph Nader, he has strong enough convictions that he's lived his life without a cell phone. They're not going to break him with this kind of name-and-shame pressure.

>>1009499

(checked)

I am so sick of hearing the term "safe space" from grown men. Life isn't a safe space. People will be complete assholes to you, and it's easy to ignore. If they push you too far, break their nose. The end.

>>1009501

Pretty much, the power of most SJW's is limited to twitter bullying, and hell will freeze over before we see Stallman on there.

>>1009501

>he's lived his life without a cell phone.

Oh is this considered extraordinary? Glad to be part of the club.

>>1009559

Well he's actually a person of note so yes. Some random NEET on a chan, not so much.

>>1009562

>No-phone equals NEET.

Imagine walking around life with this mindset. How far below 100 is your IQ if you don't mind me asking?

Alright how many of the signatures are from trannies

>>1009564

Sorry no one cares about you.

>>1009568

Yeah, that wasn't what you were asked. I'll put down 84.

>>1009569

Still 14 higher than you, thanks

>>1009570

Remember I said 'how far below', smaller number are better. Autism wins

what are YOU doing to survive the coming global gas shortage?

>>1009601

Is he not rich though? He gives talks all the time.

>>1009605

Not for much, he gets travel plus expenses from what I remember. He isn't paid by the FSF either. Taking a wild guess I'd say he's in the 7 digits as he's old and lives frugally.

>>1009574

I'm going to die because the only thing keeping me alive is oil.

The free software and open source community have turned me off from being such a big supporter. Over the past two years I've been using exclusively free software on my computer, but now I think I'm not going to be as strict anymore.

It's an embarrassment being associated with these weirdo freaks and maybe writing proprietary software means I don't have to deal with these faggots. This doesn't mean I'm going to switch back to Windows or use all proprietary software, I'll just use whichever I find best for my needs.

>>1009647

>I'll just use whichever I find best for my needs.

That's a smart and pragmatic approach. In theory I really like the spirit of FOSS, but at the end of the day, it's end results that matter to me, so I'll use whatever works best. I cannot imagine the pain of dedicating years of your life to an open source project, only to be rewarded with a "community safety" reprimand because some comment made X years ago was not in compliant with the feelings of a CURRENT_YEAR tranny freak fighting WHITE MALES for intersectional justice. Let them rot.

If I have to pick RMS vs. the whole rest of the GNU Project, I'm throwing my weight behind the toe cheese man.

>>1009664

Why though? Name one thing he has actually contributed in the last decade.

>>1009666

Hitler's most likely dead, where RMS isn't. That's an unfair comparison.

>>1009647

>>1009663

Yeah I hate it when my friends come and go through my software then make fun of me for using libre programs

>>1009665

Keeping the Free as in Speech software alive

>>1009670

Making sure people keep give him software for free (as in gratis) is not a contribution.

>>1009671

So... he hasn't contributed anything

>>1009674

Right he isnt the central force keeping free softeaware going or anything.

Name one person who did a tenth of what stallman did in their lifetime

>>1009665

>the transfag otherkin who hates that mean old white male RMS reveals xerself

>>1009666

Checked.

>>1009647

>>1009663

If this ain't a pasta it's a two-part shill act.

>>1009675

Ironically Terry A. Davis

Unironically Ken Thompson

I'm sure that are plenty of other people who would qualify.

>>1009676

>the transfag otherkin who hates that mean old white male RMS reveals xerself

Hating jews and trannies is completely normal

>>1009677

still not pasta

>>1009647

>>1009663

This is a sign of a weak will. Libreware has always been an ethical standpoint first and practical second.

>>1009680

Well when the ethics surrounding it are queer, I'm not sure how much I can support it.

>>1009675

Stallman doesn't want to be the central force keeping the free software movement alive. In fact, he's not the central force keeping the movement alive. Stallman is the father of the movement, the first one who spread the message that it is good for users to fight for their freedom in software. There are plenty of people around who understand his message about freedom in software and are happy to do things to promote it such as writing free software and teaching people about the ideals.

>>1009692

Well, first of all, “the code above all else” and ethics are not mutually exclusive. There's no “code” when you're dealing with proprietary software.

Second, ESR is known bullshitter too, so I wouldn't trust every word he says in public. Did you read his post on LKML about the CoC situation? He's really good at raping people's minds with clever words.

Oh, and yeah, fuck OSI. Their compromising nature was a big red flag from the start that it's either a corporate psyop or it'll become one eventually. Compromises always lead to defeat, RMS understands that.

>>1009695

>There's no “code” when you're dealing with proprietary software

One could argue it even more of a code than source code

>>1009683

You're not forced to associate with those faggots. Also, muddying the waters with your retardation to encourage the use of botnet isn't welcome here; MS/Apple/Google are even more pozzed than something like the Ruby or nodejs gay community.

>>1009695

>Did you read his post on LKML about the CoC situation?

If it wasn't the one I linked, link that. I need some faith. Torvalds accepting the CoC really shook me even if he's back in charge now.

>“the code above all else” and ethics are not mutually exclusive

Nice quotes. But while you're right, it's more of a side-effect of the main principles driving open source, and it should definitely focus on just that. Ironically, "show us the code" is inherently equality without needing to be preachy about it.

>>1009698

Who says he supports MS/Apple/Google?

>>1009698

>encourage the use of botnet

proprietary software isn't necessarily botnet

>>1009699 (checked)

It was the one you posted.

>>1009702

You can't know, that's the entire point. Software is engineering and engineering is about objectivity, and in objectivity there's no such thing as “trust”.

>>1009702

>proprietary software isn't necessarily botnet

That's like saying taking it up the ass from a stranger is not necessarily poz. Technically it's correct, but why even take it up the ass to begin with?

>>1009680

Perpetuating mental illness is not ethical.

Gas them.

>>1009647

>It's an embarrassment being associated with these weirdo freaks

>and maybe writing proprietary software means I don't have to deal with these faggots.

Google, intel, microsoft, AMD all of these companies employ and encourages these furry freaks to wright non-free code.

>I'm not going to be as strict anymore.

>I'll just use whichever I find best for my needs.

So your saying that you'll voluntarily be fucked in the ass by corporations because the software isn't made by people who likes being fucked in the ass by corporations ?

You are aware that you don't need to promote it when you use it ?

>>1009663

>That's a smart and pragmatic approach

>maliciously agreeing with him

I wonder who's being this sort of post ?

>That's a smart and pragmatic approach

That's actually a very biased post.

>In theory I really like the spirit of FOSS

>In theory

> I cannot imagine the pain of dedicating years of your life to an open source project, only to be rewarded with a "community safety"

1: if you write code because you are preoccupy about software freedom and to make a living then you reward was being paid to do it.

2: if you write code with the intent of pleasing random people on the internet prepare to be surprised.

This is nothing new.

>>1009664

Not everyone is mad with mixing politics in the GNU project some really cares about software freedom like RMS. And RMS has proven that a software projects/communities survive by not mixing other politics and not deviating from it's original goal.

>>1009665

He shilled software freedom around the world.

Now name one thing you contributed this last century.

>>1009666

Checking these satan trips.

>>1012478

saved

>>1012476

>SJW

If you actually spent any degree of time following Stallman's news feed rather than a cherry-picked /pol/ compilation you'd realize that he's actually a fairly principled social democrat who calls out identity politics all the time.

>>1012476

There are no good jews, but RMS is the very next best substitute. He's /useful/.

Stallman will have a chair saved for him at the Intellectual Dark Web with the other "not-woke-enough" jews and libtards.
