It's a dark pattern but you don't have to use the app, if you log in it will let you view.
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.
Does that mean he doesn't drive/fly/ride in/on any cars/buses/trains/aircraft? Because the same applies to those.
He is the one who we need now , in the era of saas/cloud run by big tech. So sad.
Some type of Lymphoma that is being managed, he said in the video. Does anybody have any other info about this?
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…
You can a video of Stallman's now without his beard in his closing remarks at GNU 40th anniversary.

Results in a lot of stuff getting rejected for FSF certification despite being just as open practically as the certified stuff.
A car probably just isn't seen as software to him if it's just the internal control systems. Maybe the entertainment system these days would be.

If RMS made a choice to use proprietary software, with the only alternative being his dead, there is absolutely no moral conflict, or even anything against his principle. The only issue could only ever arises if he claimed "Free Software is more important than human lives", which I am pretty sure not a claim he, or anyone, has ever made.
It's basically the same principle as if you point a gun to my head and tell me to kill a puppy or get shot (and I'm certain you would shoot me). It's obvious which choice I would make, and I hardly see that as an evidence of my hatred for puppy.
