Richard Stallman is the reason I didn’t start contributing to open source (then called “free software”) in the 90s. I’m not the only one. He and his followers pushed out a whole generation of female developers, just at that critical time when open source adoption was widening.https://twitter.com/alicegoldfuss/status/993677847280562178 …

Now Stallman has the unmitigated gall to suggest that removing his disgusting jokes (& believe me, the jokes weren’t the half of it) will KEEP WOMEN OUT. RMS my dude...if you want more women in open source, the best possible thing you could do is leave & never come back.

To this day: - I will not knowingly use any software he wrote. - I will not contribute to any project he's associated with. - I will not attend or speak at any conference where he's present. - I will not promote the aims of any organization he's affiliated with.

How do you avoid GCC? Clang for everything?

Sure. There’s direct usage and then there’s indirect. There’s a good chance that any current movie I go see was influenced by Pulp Fiction, which is problematic due to Harvey Weinstein & Quentin Tarantino. But I won’t give any more money directly to Weinstein or Tarantino.
