I've read most of the report and it's got a lot more than "last time". Speaking as someone who has done a lot of my own research on Stallman's bullshit, the depth of this report is…

Your cited source is not really a good view of the situation. He did not reverse his position at all on the Minsky/Epstein issue (and the article quotes Stallman doubling down on t…

I am sympathetic to the cause. I respect the Linux project as a whole forming a consensus on the right direction for the kernel and I respect the right of the Rust developers to pa…

Come on, man, you should be better than this. With so many years of hindsight surely you realize by now that reverse engineering is not some moral failing? How much intellectual an…

In retrospect, our datacenter partner in the old datacenter was unreliable. But, we had been there from the start, since I was just hosting a personal server there pre-SourceHut, a…

Both. We restored from backups and touched up the diff out of band. We then had the drives removed and destroyed.

There was no lost data, and it wasn't just unanswered emails -- several hours on the phone, juggling between subsidiaries on either side of the pond, with no clear responsible part…

Agreed. This is ridiculous.
