Without the mention of FOSS, these types of pro-market “solutions” will always end up dead in the water.
This is not just a matter of competition for its own sake. This is about guaranteeing users the fundamental right to technological self-determination, a right that corporate monopolists will not yield willingly. This is nothing less than empowering users to seize the means of computation.
Can’t have tech self-determination if everything’s a black box controlled by corporate entities.
This seems probable but do you have a source for this? Last time I read he was “cancelled” for being weird to his colleagues especially women.
Here’s the first link I found. This was after a long history of publicly and internally making similar comments. I’ve heard rumors of that type of behavior but I don’t know if anyone ever publicly came forward.
Honestly kind of surprised that people here are defending him.
I remember it now. The enitrely willingly part reignited the memory. Yeah this is unacceptable.
I think he was cancelled by ableist people. If I would leave my home, I would also be seen as “weird” by neurotypical people.
Doubt it honestly
