It's a dark pattern but you don't have to use the app, if you log in it will let you view.
Also, old.reddit.com usually doesn't have all these shenanigans, so I just set up a redirect.
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…

This is what's on his personal page, stallman.org: `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.`
Asking out of curiosity, not to be cruel: I wonder if he's willing to use medical equipment that uses non-Free software?

Does that mean he doesn't drive/fly/ride in/on any cars/buses/trains/aircraft? Because the same applies to those.
You can search his site for the word "ticket" to get an idea of how he feels about software systems in public transport.
What's cool about RMS is that he perfectly foresaw many decades ago the world that we live in today: your car or smart fridge refusing actions because its software says so. And you cannot change the bloody software! I cringe every time I see encrypted firmware running in trusted execution environment, DRM, DLCs for fucking physical products, websites or apps that scam you into signing up or giving up some other freed…
He is the one who we need now , in the era of saas/cloud run by big tech. So sad.
I always thought the advocacy was fundamentally correct, but way too distanced from achievable and realistic compromises within a system that wants profit over everything. The only real path would've been through legislation, and now we're back to setting your expectations to realistic.
