somebody autistic shouldn't be in a leadership position managing people. that's not what they're good at. it's like putting somebody with dementia in a chess-tournament and then complaining that "the game is rigged".
- sildur 6y agoThis autistic had successfully led the free software movement for more than three decades. So maybe he's more fit for the position than a PR spewing drone.
- DyslexicAtheist 6y agowhere has it taken the free software movement? nobody cares about Hurd or GNU these days because the ones getting the applause are FAANG, but not the thousands of small (or big) maintainers doing the actual work. can you picture him as the head of a company like Nokia, CISCO, an insurance company, bank or literally any other thing outside the raggedy FSF? He would have not survived past day #1 because public perception matters in power. I wouldn't applaud the FSF as an organization too much considering how well it has served the majority of people doing the legwork nor even as a "movement".
- moistbar 6y agoJudging from where free software has gotten, I'd say he's quite good at what he does.

- pureliquidhw 6y agoDyslexicAthiest, for most of history dyslexics, and for that matter atheists, had a pretty rough go of things. Are you sure you want to paint with such broad strokes regarding those on the autism spectrum?
