The sad part is that it took RMS making excuses for sex trafficking for him to get kicked out. He's been a hindrance to the free software movement for many years now, in technical/licensing/endorsement/general image matters.

Call me when the FSF isn't actively hurting the cause for hardware freedon by having bass-ackwards certification rules that result in designs where non-free parts are made invisible and untouchable and unfreeable.

Here's a Twitter thread on how stupid their rules are:https://twitter.com/marcan42/status/1040626210999431168 …

Also RYF is a joke in practice; if you actually look at the list of certified devices, it's a bunch of off-the-shelf stuff that is largely identical to something you can buy at any random shop, and a bunch of proprietary ROMs are involved, but those are exempt.

Remember how as a response to AMD releasing all their documentation and making their blobs freely redistributable, the FSF returned the favour by... Only certifying NVIDIA based laptops as RYF, because they *had* to reimplement them from the start to make things work?
