It seems like there is no rock bottom with this guy. Even after having his embarrassing Reddit history exposed and being exposed as the man behind The Stallman Report, he only doubled down. He added all of this (minus the Luigi sprite, which has been there for a while) to his blog's bio section shortly after the Charlie Kirk assassination, and Antifa being declared a terrorist organization, by the way.

Knowing him, he probably has some Charlie Kirk sniping game in the works.

This is bullshit. If a law is repealed, you can still be arrested for breaking said law if it turns out you broke it when it was still in effect and the statue of limitations haven't expired.

The results were more or less what I was expecting. It looks like people are a lot more optimistic about it than a few years ago, judging from the people who voted option 2, 3, and 5.

I don't know. Sometimes, it does feel like it's less likely to happen, that it would be half-assed, or that it will happen but collapse. However, it also feels like they are just going to rebrand it to make it appeal more to conservatives and some libertarians.

There are also some things that I can't see happening in five years. I get that home ownership is declining, but I can't see people not even owning the clothes they wear by 2030, and there is no way you are going to condition people to accept a new social contract that says something like that within five years. Everyone has cherished possessions that they even value over their own friends. You have a better chance at getting Americans to give up their guns.

Which is exactly why they don't put intelligent people on jury duty.

And it turns out that people are already developing meat allergies in some places, to the point that some restaurants are now offering vegan menus.

Also the meat allergy can even make you reactive to the smell of someone cooking meat. It could force an entire household to become vegan.

If only everything wasn't a fucking political statement then people wouldn't bitch about the technology a person or company chooses to use. But no. If you use crypto, then that means that you are pandering to the evil ancaps or the dissident right, and you are a climate denier.

The woke, far-left, Drew DeVault-aligned, anti-Stallman faction of the FOSS movement clearly has no idea what they are talking about.

Imagine being so far to the left that you think that Richard Stallman, someone who has openly supported free healthcare, taxing the rich, expanding the welfare state, and even a universal basic income, is somehow a far-right libertarian who supports bombing children (which he wouldn't if he was a libertarian btw).

These people are so far gone, that they think that because Richard Stallman keeps the FOSS movement politically neutral outside of challenging our current copyright laws, then that makes him "far-right".

The only reason why FOSS allows people to exploit others (outside of making it proprietary in the case of copyleft software) including committing war-crimes is that most other things created for practical use allow you to do that too. But when it comes to software, suddenly people feel the need to create contracts dictating what you can or can't do with said software. That's why we have EULAs when it comes to proprietary software, and free software does the opposite by giving us freedom 0.

Finally, you can never prevent the government, including the military from using your code. The government does what it wants and will break any license and get away with it. If the DPRK can violate the GPL and create a proprietary fork of Ubuntu, then the US military (or any other military for that matter) can use your code to bomb children.
