When they say "hitting on women" it usually means asking on a date or similar, politely

RMS is an imperfect person (who isn't?), but trying to cancel the father and creator of GNU/Linux isn't about "perfection", it's about orphaning what he created

Let's focus on what real security means

UEFI restricted boot (an attack on all computer users) was originally the reason for its chief enabler - and Microsoft collaborator - attempting to silence me or, failing that, defame me in public fora (shooting the messenger, ad hominem).

Microsoft cannot compete fairly

Right now one of their associates (SFC) tries to spend money to censor us

Of course Red Hat can delay the layoffs to "prove" the rumours 'wrong'

linuxsecurity.com was publishing some weird pages whose titles closely resembled other sites' articles

Yet another example (lots of that lately) of people from Microsoft "speaking for" "Open Source" and for "security"!

Remember you cannot please these online trolls who dwell on fantasies like dethroning founders of key projects that are large and popular

The sad thing is that a group of Microsoft employees inside the Linux Foundation (LF) more or less 'spams' the media, googlebombing 'linux' and bringing up 'Xz' again

Andres Freund works for Microsoft. It was not clear at first. He used his anarazel.de email instead of Microsoft email.

Two talks in Switzerland, where GNU's 40th birthday was celebrated last autumn by a then-hairless GNU founder, who underwent cancer treatment
