1. Social Justice Hooey Killed the Free Software Movement

1. Microsoft is Slipping Out of Control, Let's Keep Free Software Momentum Until They're Gone (or Too Weak to Matter)
  
  from Techrights
  
  There are positive signs and reasons for optimism; opponents of software freedom are in some sense on their last leg and we just need to persevere and stick together (while openly discussing the strategies leveraged against us)

  Unless we put every piece of Free software in Microsoft's own nest (all the eggs in Microsoft's basket so to speak) we'll always have fallbacks for the moment Microsoft pulls the plug on GitHub; at the moment Microsoft pumps a lot of money (losses) into GitHub to keep it running and it is even bribi

  from Techrights
  
  Kids need to decide for themselves what they want to do and what they wish to use when they grow up; schools need to provide general tools and the mental capacity to make good decisions (rather than make these decisions for the kids, sometimes at the behest of foreign monopolists)

  from Techrights
  
  Divide-and-rule tactics seem to have been exploited to weaken collaborative work on Free/libre software; the response to these tactics needs to start with realisation that this is going on (even if it's done in a somewhat clandestine nature)

#freespeech #rms #freesw #freesoftware #supportrms

Dr. Richard M. Stallman ("rms") is an activist and programmer who campaigns for the freedom of software users to use, study, distribute and modify the software they receive.

Stallman is (still) the object of an Internet defamatory campaign -- motivated by mischaracterizations and intolerance -- that forced him to resign from MIT and even from the FSF which he founded and led. See <https://jorgemorais.gitlab.io/justice-for-rms/> (updated).
