A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Yeah it's a very thorough report and makes it very clear just how little excuse there is for FSF and Stallman's other defenders to continue to enable and support his behavior. Agreed that he himself isn't particularly relevant, but his supporters are still very influential in some areas of the open source community.
hilariously you can see some of the reflexive defense of him over in the FOSS thread of this article. way too many people feel obliged to run defense for this guy and it's just cringeworthy to watch
Yeah. Well, discussions about stuff like this are good at revealing people to block and ban.
