I posted my own comment, but every time Stallman comes up, this is what I refer people to: https://drewdevault.com/2023/11/25/2023-11-26-RMS-on-sex.html
As you said, these are not his “early views”, but a continuing and shifting pattern. You can read his own blog posts and its all there.
He’s a creep and any org still employing him doesn’t care about women or children.

Great! I think there’s 3 separate vcj comms on different instances all with the same problem, so I’ll be glad if one improves.
Lemmy is too small and the mods too inactive. Most of what you see there is genuinely unironic carnism because bans dont get handed out, not what you normally get with a circlejerk sub.
It seems like you didn’t read the link I posted because the point is to demonstrate that he clearly hasn’t changed his opinion in any meaningful way. Using neurodivergence as an excuse for disgusting behavior is also silly af. His presence is harmful because of what it signals to people who have to work with him. That his views and inappropriate behavior (especially toward women) will be tolerated. It isn’t just ‘bad takes’, its sexually harassing people and normalizing pedophilia. Its very strange you seem to be so against bigotry in other threads but have a soft spot for this particular sex pest.
So am I. Being neurodivergent doesn’t excuse making people feel unsafe or uncomfortable in your presence because of your comments about sex with children and inappropriate behavior toward women.
He was a large contributer to the open software movement. That’s fair. But there’s no need to idolize him or anyone else when there are plenty of other capable people who dont behave this way.
It literally links to his blog numerous times, but keep playing defense. It always makes the open source community look great to continue their associations with him.
Stallman would have been jealous. https://drewdevault.com/2023/11/25/2023-11-26-RMS-on-sex.html
Technically true but they belong to the same ‘service’ and because of the vague policy, I dont know whether that means they’d suddenly terminate my account.
So I can’t even use two different Lemmy accounts on different instances? Or have a public social media account and a ‘business’ one I use to share my own music or something? My dual-boxing MMO accounts? There’s a lot of use cases for 2 emails/accounts at the very least.
Install Bazzite and use the Laptop version with Steam Gaming Mode if you have an AMD system. It’s what you’re asking for but for non-deck devices. http://bazzite.gg/
Sorry I don’t give the benefit of the doubt to the man drugging girls in his home. What is he moving them for?
This was an attempted rape that didn’t get far enough for the courts to ‘prove’ it, but the girls report him trying to separate them after they were drugged. He wasn’t just trying to get them to quiet down.
NO
I reject the label because it’s meaningless. I’m a Marxist-Leninist who has nothing to do with the USSR and frankly does not have an opinion on what happened in Hungary because I don’t know enough about the specific event. I acknowledge that Soviet Russia, like all countries, had positives and negatives. I believe that socialism can only be achieved and maintained using centralized planning and authority (which is the not same as a dictatorship) because they exist in a world dominated by capitalist forces that want to see them destroyed (see the ongoing US sanctions on Cuba and the many budding socialist governments the US has toppled).
As a citizen of the United States, I also recognize that my country very frequently lies about its own actions and their justifications (see the Iraq War) to the detriment of people in other countries. Frequently to protect the interests of capital. Thus, I express skepticism when my government tries to tell me that another country is unilaterally ‘bad’, as is constantly the case with places like China, which I’ve visited several times and study academically. So when other countries take action to separate themselves from us, get out from under historical US domination, and practice an economic and social system that is not US-style liberal democracy, I applaud their successes and try to understand their failures. This is true even if those success harm me, usually economically, as I do not want my existence to be predicated on the suffering of others.
To anyone on .world, which is obnoxiously in line with the United States status quo, I am a ‘tankie’ because I do not believe that China is evil, that Russians are ‘orcs’, that the Cuban people deserve to be starved by our sanctions, that Joe Biden has to support Palestinian genocide and continue Trump’s border policy because ‘its complicated’, and anything else that is critical of my own country and its actions that continue to harm people not as fortunate to be born in my same geographical location.
I will also be accused of ‘whataboutism’ for this post unless I also say something like modern Russia is a capitalist hellscape and that the Cultural Revolution and most of Mao’s later career after the Jiangxi Soviet was a mistake due his own incompetence as a large-scale political leader instead of a guerilla fighter. But that’s a level of nuance the people crying ‘tankie’ won’t usually care about anyway.
They already did that because “Trump already paid/signed for it so we had to finish it”
Cosmos Server, Yunohost, CasaOS, Tipi, TrueNAS. There’s projects like this that have ‘app stores’ that are just an interface for you to enter parameters for a Docker compose file (or something similar) like the default username and password, etc. They aren’t flawless but flawless is an unrealistic standard for things with so many config options.
Might not be you specifically, but I think something a lot of people miss with a lot of premade vegan products like hotdogs and stuff is that they don’t need to cooked. The burgers I get even say on the package “this is not meat” and suggest you’re going to burn it if you treat it like it is. You’re essentially just warming it up.
Because they’re asking you to use a source that isn’t an Alex Jones analogue? Lol. Someone linked the UN report above. Go read it.
Its not okay, but do they also warn about how much data Facebook, X, etc collect and share willingly with the US Govt? That’s the problem with most of these stories is people only care when its China specifically. As if the US doesn’t have a greater ability to destroy Canada if it ever had the incentive to do so. The framing is never ‘spy apps are bad’, just ‘this one spy app is bad’ when its the government saying it.
What part of how he’s been treated? Nobody is making fun of him for being neurodivergent and picking his toes in public. Its gross, but ultimately not harmful. People have problems with his inability to understand how his comments about sex with minors are not appropriate either. There’s a big gap between these two things and if you fall into it, you’re probably okay.
