RMS should just tell these people to fork off. We neither want nor need politics in software development.

Finished reading the entire discuss chain from the link. Now...
What I can glimpse from it is RMS and major maintainers should start searching and training their apprentices to reduce the key person risk factors on the GNU projects, reduce reliance on decisions made from FSF, and find a way to ensure that after the current generation leaves, the core principles of GNU project will be unchanging.
Or am I missing something?

Same shit on every thread.
Sexism
It's not even related.
And yes, if I see someone that claims "As a man, you don't get to decide what counts and what doesn't." I'm going to react because that's sexist as shit so they need to get down from their white horse.
All. The. Time.
People working in retail can confirm.

the reaction to my post here makes it very obvious that I wasn't just overreacting or misunderstanding. there was even a (now deleted?) ridiculous James-Damore-style "women can't code" rant.

I just don't think bottoms-up would work for projects like Linux or GNU. It will turn into a deadlock of differing opinions.

GNU is an explicitly political organisation, and was founded as such - on gnu.org they have a 'take action' section with (at the time of writing) the current goals:- Support the efforts on net neutrality in the USA, and in your home country.
- Defend privacy, and support global copyright reform
- Support current FSF campaigns.
- Fight against software patents: worldwide, and in Europe.
(Only partially related: my country has a misandric supermarket which strongly favors women (regardless of experience!) (despite them being the majority when it comes to shopping, according to my parents), and since then the cashiers only got slower and the queues take so much longer. It's getting on my nerves!)Last edited by tildearrow; 23 October 2019, 05:23 PM.

Are you assuming his gender?
