I am a FSF supporter generally and financially but let's be entirely honest about what the FSF has done in the last twenty years, and that's actually very little in terms of making good Free Software.
They lack a cohesive vision or the expertise to move projects forward. I'd love if that were different - we *need a Free Software org with vision, but the FSF hasn't had any for a long time.
- greenhouse_gas 8y agoWhat happened there? In the 80s they were the next big thing. Then they finished their OS project (when the Linux kernel became available they finally had a FLOSS OS). But they never took off with their high priority projects. Is it that they can't find programmers? Is it that they pay so little that you might as well write your own code and host it on Git*.com?
