After 18 years with the Free Software Foundation, I've decided to resign my position as executive director, effective at the end of a transition period. We'll be sharing further details, including information about that transition, and a few more words, in the coming days. It's been a humbling honor to serve this institution, and to work alongside the FSF's staff, members, and volunteers over the years. The current staff deserve your full confidence and support -- they certainly have mine.
@roland I see no similarity with that. see here for more: https://fsfe.org/about/statement-20201220.html
“Richard M. Stallman, frequently known as #RMS, has been a dangerous force in the free software community for a long time. He has shown himself to be misogynist, ableist, and transphobic, among other serious accusations of impropriety. We, the undersigned, ask for the entire Board of the #FSF to step down and for RMS to be removed from all leadership positions.”
“The Venn circles of Silicon Valley tech folks, libertarians, finance bros and oil and gas bros all seem to meet centrally at whatever the hell #Bitcoin is.”

I hope you see yourself, your own strength.
Not one of the myths. Not a failed man,
a person who can never succeed because success is basically defined as being male."

#EU is considering new plans to ban #plantbased dairy from:
– have informative descriptions like ”doesn’t contain milk”
– use the same packaging as dairy products (eg. cartons)
– explaining the climate impact of food
We are very close to have the first hunger strike dead in #Greece. First one in Europe after 40 years (during Thatcher).
The most conservative and authoritative government of recent history, chooses revenge over justice.
yet another quarantine #ambient mixtape 🎶 🌑
Happy new year everyone! 🥂
Let’s keep the best out of this difficult year and fight even harder in 2021 🌍 🌱 ✊🏻
