I wonder what Arnold Schwarzenegger thinks about software freedom.

"Richard M. Stallman resigns"

https://www.fsf.org/news/richard-m-stallman-resigns

He resigns from both FSF and MIT. Context: https://slashdot.org/story/360908.

The fight for diversity, equality and inclusion is the fight for software freedom. Our movement will only be successful if it includes everyone. RMS does not speak for these values.

"Without a truly open standard for payments, open systems in general have had a hard time competing with their proprietary counterparts."

Coil, Mozilla, Creative Commons have set up a $100 million grant to fix this. Very interesting!

Strong words from Bradley Kuhn and Karen Sandler.

Well Richard Stallman, founder of free software and the GNU project is going around defending MIT professors who participating the Epstein sex assault ring; from student protestors.

I think it's important when people, even leaders in your community do this sort of thing; that they are criticized.

Honestly, it pains me to say it, but free software has to be bigger than richard stallmen. Its time, probably past time for him to step down.

By the way, please don’t play “surprised” and “shocked” that RMS is fine with pedophilia, he said so for years: https://www.stallman.org/archives/2006-may-aug.html#05%20June%202006%20%28Dutch%20paedophiles%20form%20political%20party%29

People who use password managers, what’s your favorite? What are ones to stay away from?
