The audio is really terrible, but he says that the cancer is being managed and that he will be around for many more years. I am glad to hear that.
Before that, he talks about covid and long covid. But I couldn't tell if he says that he has long covid now. I know that he was being pretty careful to avoid covid, to the extent that's possible while travelling on planes as much as he does. I had some discussions with him about N95 mask fitting and testing.
Can anyone tell from the video if he still has the big beard? That interferes badly with mask seals. I never had such a bushy beard myself, but before the pandemic I was lax about shaving and often had some beard growth. I keep it clean now so that masks will work better,
Anyway, I hope he beats the cancer and stays healthy and active.

- Gigachad 3y agoIt's a dark pattern but you don't have to use the app, if you log in it will let you view.
- microtonal 3y agoAlso, old.reddit.com usually doesn't have all these shenanigans, so I just set up a redirect.
- isoprophlex 3y agoNice, any tips on doing that for an entire home network? Or do you have to do it per device somehow
- ozr 3y agoI use a a chrome extension for it. Otherwise when I hit their wall on another device or browser, I just skip it. Reddit seems fine with killing themselves off, I'm not going to any great length to mitigate their mistakes.
- kstenerud 3y agoThere are browser plugins to redirect to old.reddit.com.
- globular-toast 3y agoYou can run your own DNS server locally. I run an unbound server on my router but you can also run dnsmasq on a raspberry pi or something. Pihole uses that. Then you can do whatever you want with local DNS (doesn't help with devices like Chromecast that ignore your local configs, for that you need your own router, which I also recommend. I use pfsense). You'll need a local webserver running to serve the redirect, but that's a simple nginx config. Maybe I'll write a blog post for this stuff...
- jraph 3y agoCan you do this without triggering SSL certificate validation issue? Or do you have to manually accept your own SSL certificate (at which point you perhaps might as well install a redirect extension)?
- isoprophlex 3y agoI don't want to log in either, so that comes down to "Do you want the shit sandwich or the shit omelette?"
- ornornor 3y agoYou don’t have to login either iirc. If you don’t want to use old Reddit, there is an option to open in the browser anyway. At least for me on iOS + Firefox.
- miramba 3y agoMust be attempt #1000000 to make me get their effing app. Reddit can‘t you see in the cookie that I declined, every time?
- pixelpoet 3y agoReddit knows full well we declined the cookies, but they keep """fOrGeTtInG""" to fix this bug... absolutely infuriating.
- OsrsNeedsf2P 3y agoIt took them a year to fix the redesign opt-out. I'm extremely grateful that Lemmy is a usable alternative now
- psychoslave 3y agoHe probably gave it to Noam Chomsky.
- azangru 3y agoA completely different person. Wow.
- colesantiago 3y ago> Can anyone tell from the video if he still has the big beard? You can a video of Stallman's now without his beard in his closing remarks at GNU 40th anniversary. https://audio-video.gnu.org/video/gnu40/closing-remarks-gnu40.webm https://audio-video.gnu.org/video/gnu40/closing-remarks-gnu4...
- sambazi 3y ago> audio is really terrible almost like a rite of passage for a/v content from the foss sphere
- jwestbury 3y ago> while travelling on planes as much as he does Does he travel on planes a lot? His speaking rider used to explicitly say that you should NOT book a plane for him, because he wasn't comfortable with the level of personal information required. In fact, he said you should book trains under a false name.
- adulion 3y agoI seen him speak in ireland twice in the past 20 years so i assume he got here by plane
- morita2342 3y agoOn the topic of (long) covid, luckily he apparently is fully vaccinated (judging from the many times he wrote about the vaccine and mandates in his blog), so he likely won’t catch the new strands in the process of recovery or be in any danger of long covid.
- ekianjo 3y agoThere are still naive people who believe the vaccines do anything at this stage?

- vlugorilla 3y ago> Can anyone tell from the video if he still has the big beard? In minute 3 of the video he takes off the mask, he no longer has the beard
- orblivion 3y agoHis point about long covid is that it's a small but nontrivial chance of having brain fog for life and it would impede his work, and he suggests others make the same consideration for themselves. I think this implies that he doesn't have it.
