Here's the link for that:

IMO you're not telling the full story if you post to something he wrote 16 years ago without posting his own retraction of that.

@amsomniac @MadestMadness

BTW, in July Stallman made this statement:

"Many years ago I posted that I could not see anything wrong about sex between an adult and a child, if the child accepted it.

Through personal conversations in recent years, I've learned to understand how sex with a child can harm per psychologically. This changed my mind about the matter: I think adults should not do that. I am grateful for the conversations that enabled me to understand why."

@amsomniac @MadestMadness

You quote an email from 2003 and then you pretend as if it's in the context of Epstein/Minsky.

This is deceptive and wrong, but I've come to expect it from people by now.

Just like the blog post that started off this witch hunt flat out lied about what Stallman's stated position was concerning Minsky.

@badrihippo

Yeah, me too :)

I can't wire money to my bank account in South Africa (from EU) without first going through a bureaucratic process of providing the SA bank all my details and explaining to them why I'm transferring my own money to my own account.

Also, some German banks don't want to wire to SA at all, so I have to carefully choose the sending bank.

Maybe this bitcoin thing has a usecase after all.

Oooof. Was just subjected to the most credible phishing attempt I've experienced to date. Here were the steps:

1) "Hi, this is your bank. There was an attempt to use your card in Miami, Florida. Was this you?"

Me: no.

I'm glad you like it. By being the author I'm hyper-aware of all its flaws, so it's nice to hear that people get value out of it :D

More to come!

I guess that's the best possible argument for feature inconsistency but I doubt it's worth it.

IMO you can get biodiversity by having multiple independent implementations in different languages and platforms while still implementing the same spec and being largely mutually compatible and feature consistent.

@strypey @Wolf480pl

I'm not aware of anyone who sees "feature inconsistency" as a feature. The actual feature is extensibility and the cost is inconsistency.

The compliance suites are an attempt to "fix" this as much as is possible in a distributed, anarchical community.

The XSF is working on adding compliance badges so that projects can advertise their level of conformance.

Things however happen slowly because the FOSS XMPP community is small and largely made up of volunteers.

I think there's been a resurgence of interest due to the work of "Architects and Engineers for 911 truth" which AFAIK made this and other videos and are calling for a new investigation into 911.

https://www.ae911truth.org/

If you really consider and digest the implications of what's apparently happened here, it really is a sort of "red pill" moment.

I'm careful to try and stick to verifiable facts though (even circumstantial) and not get involved in crazy speculation.

I've fallen into the #911 #WTC7 rabbit hole again recently. Seems like there is more activity around this topic online due to the recent study from Alaska showing that fires couldn't have collapsed that building.

Here's a recent video that sums up much of what's known about the apparent cover-up of how WTC7 collapsed (and therefore questions the entire official 911 narrative).
