He had a full career and he’s still alive. Quit being ridiculous.

#4I wonder if he'd take donations for a personal break rather than for GNU?
Judging by his website, he gets wrapped up in the whole world's biz. A stretch of RMS-time is probably long overdue.

had a new "Socrates" that defended a serial sex trafficker* and made those who worked around him extremely uncomfortable very often. Also as others have mentioned, he still had a very full career and is most likely still doing what he enjoys, just not in the same context or places as before.
edit: never directly defended Epstein, my error. this does not excuse his other behavior in any way.
