Some type of Lymphoma that is being managed, he said in the video. Does anybody have any other info about this?
`Richard Stallman has cancer. Fortunately it is slow-growing and manageable follicular lymphona, so he will probably live many more years nonetheless. But he now has to be even more careful not to catch Covid-19.`

The audio is really terrible, but he says that the cancer is being managed and that he will be around for many more years. I am glad to hear that. Before that, he talks about covid and long covid. But I couldn't tell if he says that he has long covid now. I know that he was being pretty careful to avoid covid, to the extent that's possible while travelling on planes as much as he does. I had some discussions with him…
No he don't have beards anymore https://www.reddit.com/r/linuxmemes/comments/16ts15z/stallma...
Stallman weeps.

I got a slight feeling that most equipment runs on windows. Could also be wrong.
sadly there's also a lot of QNX :(
I know it's not foss, and I'm aware of mach, but QNX still holds a place in my heart.
Asking out of curiosity, not to be cruel: I wonder if he's willing to use medical equipment that uses non-Free software? To my knowledge, his stated position against using non-Free software is pretty much absolute; but given that medical equipment's software is almost universally non-Free, taking that stance here would seriously endanger his ability to receive necessary medical care.
i'd bet many machines run on old Linux kernels with some shitty blobs and software on top.

But things are changing and linux is getting some traction.
The healthcare industry is very slow moving (as it should be).

Unfortunately, I can't find a link with this claim to share.
