Don't get me wrong. I'm not in any way anti-RMS, but the free software movement needs to be about freedom respecting software, and not hero worship (whether that person is RMS or some other "hero") Long term, what are we going to do, the whole trans-humanism thing where we worship a "computer" who is encoded with the "flawed" personality of a dead person?

Many people signed up, took the time and filled out the form to participate in LibrePlanet 2022 as speakers, including me. It is not fair to those who prepared and filled out the form before, the deadline has passed and it was very well publicized by the way. Also, we should pay close attention before saying something like "we or X people (or community) need this". I respect the RMS just as I respect and treat anyone well, but I think you should note that the people who are going to speak are also leaders and no one is leading above anyone else. We all follow the same philosophy, and I respect everyone's opinion on the matter and show my disagreement on the issue respectfully here. -- Kaio Duarte Costa (Kaiod) _______________________________________________ libreplanet-discuss mailing list [3][email protected] [4]https://lists.libreplanet.org/mailman/listinfo/libreplanet-discuss References 1. mailto:[email protected] 2. https://lists.libreplanet.org/mailman/listinfo/libreplanet-discuss 3. mailto:[email protected] 4. https://lists.libreplanet.org/mailman/listinfo/libreplanet-discuss
