I need again to speak about #guile #guix, #gnu and #fsf.

The so called #GnuSocialContract is misleading.

Go read the document: https://wiki.gnu.tools/gnu:social-contract

First thing, 80% of the document (dubbed "contract" for some reason) is old stuff.

Re 4 freedoms: those do not reflect the world socioeconomic needs. In particular, giving the freedom to ANYONE to run the program, for ANY PURPOSE: is socially counter-productive. Economically speaking, it would help the world strive if / when more #diversity happens, more exchange and curation of ideas (that was dubbed noise by a gnu maintainer), instead of giving more power to the powerful. **The gnu license, give more power to the powerful.**

Re second paragraph about a consistent system: that is full garbage. I guess, it is in the document, to rule out "inconsistent". Who decide what is consistent? #rms?! It is more food for establishment trolls.

Re 3rd paragraph: collaborate with the broader free software community: there is two idea "collaborate" instead of "cooperate". I leave the exercise to the reader to read what historically "collaboration" means at least in #Europe. Second idea: "free software", that continues to hijack the definition of "free" and "freedom" to what gnu/fsf/lawyers decide is free (but not gratis #meme).

The last paragraph, is somewhat something like the pseudo-kind community guidelines. Here is it in full:

> The GNU Project welcomes contributions from all and everyone>> The GNU Project **commits to providing a harassment-free** experience for all contributors. It wants to give everyone the opportunity of contributing to **its efforts** on any of the many tasks that require work. It welcomes all contributors, regardless of their gender, ethnicity, sexual orientation, level of experience, or any other personal characteristics.

GNU wants to trick you into thinking that it is "kind", giving the definition of kindness.

@dthompson

Mind to define "positive change"?

For example I would consider very positive if #GNU becomes less and less welcoming to #US corporate #hypocrisy.

Actually we should look for the #weirdest people to join, as #RMS is not #weird enough to me.

BTW, are you going to block/mute me too?Beware: I'm not from the #US?I dare to be #Italian!

Sorry for the #sarcasm, but I've found this https://guix.gnu.org/blog/2019/joint-statement-on-the-gnu-project/ as a political abuse against my people.

You are marginalizing #hackers because they are weird.

You joint a mob lynching #RMS for what he said, forgetting that #software is a form of human expression, so #FreeSoftware IS #FreeSpeech.

The abrupt resignation of #RMS is a victory to the big brother. It leaves a political vacuum that those who applaud the resignation can never, and will never fill.

... those who were at the receiving end of his scathing criticism of surveillance state/surveillance capitalism. #RMS has been an outspoken defendant of #Wikileaks, Julian #Assange, Chelsea #Manning and Edward #Snowden.

A Thread In Defense of Richard Stallman #RMS

The identity politics crowd / #metoo lobby destroyed Richard Stallman with the support of corporate media and many others. Among those who applaud will be tech giant companies, opponents of software freedom and most importantly, ...

How can this go unchallenged? This is a campaign that bends and stretches facts in the most surreal way. The principal rule that has been applied against #RMS is "anything goes". The similarities this has to the witch-hunt against Jacob Appelbaum are astonishing!

Soon, they will start packaging it in combination with attacks against his resolute defense of software freedom, opposition to the surveillance state and US-lead imperialist war drive around the world. Those who replace him will undermine what #RMS stood for, politically.

#gnu #fsf #rms

Ludovic Courtès (Guix) is accusing Stallman of Thoughtcrime. By using the same platform that was provided to him by chief gnuissance Dr. Richard Stallman, the subdomain guix.gnu.org on gnu.org domain, Ludovic Courtès is defaming and harassing Stallman for reasons of thoughtcrime (see the book 1984).

By that same act Ludovic Courtès abuses the Guix code of conduct and the GNU Kind Communication Guidelines as set in the community by Richard Stallman himself.

Hatred, animosity and separation are products of Ludovic Courtès in October 2019. His disgraceful statement was published on https://guix.gnu.org/blog/2019/joint-statement-on-the-gnu-project/ whereby no prior Guix discussion have taken place. How did those people get together to publish such statement? There are no references that I could find on the Guix mailing lists.

It is in contradiction to GNU Kind Communication Guidelines: https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/kind-communication.html where by it says: “The only political positions that the GNU Project endorses are (1) that users should have control of their own computing (for instance, through free software) and (2) supporting basic human rights in computing.”

My domain gnu.support is not connected or sponsored by FSF, neither it is part of GNU project. It is there to publish my opinions or maybe opinions of other people, I am welcoming opinions on every page of this domain.

I have asked Ludovic Courtès to state the facts that will prove and evidence their statement “that Stallman’s behavior over the years has undermined a core value of the GNU project: the empowerment of all computer users. GNU is not fulfilling its mission when the behavior of its leader alienates a large part of those we want to reach out to.” — as such statement is baseless, fact-less, pure generalization and rumour.

References to his answers can be found on 2019-10-07 IRC log and 2019-10-08 IRC log. This same log is not accessible as of 2019-10-09 (504 Gateway Time-out). This page will be updated.

Yet, Ludovic Courtès, is asking people to join him in such nonsense on the GNU.ORG domain, and he does not give people an option to comment on that page.

I have asked Ludovic Courtès to enable comments on his political blog that he publishes on Guix operating system, yet he justified himself that they have no option to enable comments on that blog. Pardon me. Hacker of the operating system that has no option to enable comments?!

The disgraceful statement gives impression that all GNU maintainers including the GNU project is against RMS, which is absolutely not true.

So Ludovic Courtès could not answer “which behavior over the years undermined a core value of GNU project to empower all computer users”.

Ludovic Courtès could not provide any fact supporting his general statement.

He mentioned abort() joke, and Emacs virgins. One big X$%*&#X LOL!

Thus RMS is made guilty of thoughtcrime, harassed, and defamed on his own website GNU.org on the subdomain guix.gnu.org by his own project maintainer.

Yes, it is true that GNU.org domain belongs to FSF and FSF is organization, but those are legal matters. Legal entity is legal entity in the legal world. In the world of people, both the foundation FSF and GNU.org are creations of Dr. Richard Stallman, and are thus HIS OWN. It does not matter how he has organized the system of people and made legal entities to protect his creations. This does not matter. The domain is his own and it probably existed before the FSF was founded.

To publish his political opinions where Ludovic Courtès is defaming and harassing Richard Stallman on his own domain is disgraceful and shameful activity!

That would be like me to kick my own mother in her stomach.

I do not mind what they are speaking and what is somebody speaking or thinking bad about RMS, me, or anybody else. Everybody is entitled to their opinion.

They are participating in rumour based ruination of his character.
