> apotheke (basement, literally "under-box") Actually, "apo" has the meaning of "away" here, so "away-box" would be more accurate. Maybe you are confusing it with "ypo", which actually me

We actually do use both in modern Greek, but "hydor" is mostly used in compound words. In ancient (but also in modern) Greek, "nearon hydor" means "young (i.e. "fresh") water", and at least according

I must say I am very impressed by Kitty's number of open and closed issues on Github. And it has so many features. The developer also seems like a nice guy and open to suggestions. I have used urxvt for a long time but wanted to try so

The website's main goal is made clear in the opening paragraph. There is valid criticism and there is witch hunting. Sadly, many people chose to engage in the latter. Strong phrase, but I honestly cannot see it as something else.

I find it a bit weird that a lot of people have expressed this kind of fear about mRNA vaccines, but not about DNA vaccines such as AstraZeneca, J&J, Sputnik-V etc.

In a nutshell, the author does not want to be considered as part of the mob but fails to hide the fact. Miserably.

I believe him, you might not. In that case you might want to give him a chance, because you are a decent person, especially since he has been through a lot the last 18 months, and a lot of it was unjust.

He is kind of saying exactly and literally this. I mean that this is exactly what is written in the text. Literally.

This text is so exactly what I thought he should write, based on my understanding of him. It is 100% sincere and made me happy.

You have entirely missed the whole point of the situation, which has been going on for a while. Besides, this is about Stallman's own statement.

He did not just technically not defend him, he literally called him a serial rapist and he definitely stated that the girl was being harmed. This is not the only false accusation (which has been debunked to death, yet the blog posts and hea

A user seemingly representing the site you are linking to made some comments on the support letter's github page and they were not very welcome. The comments and responses are still there because nothing has been deleted. Respectfully,

My first tutorial was the Pro Git book, and this fact was stressed well there so it stuck. Thinking of commits as snapshots also has the small advantage of making the first commit less special.

Tomorrow another group of people might decide something about your intent and you might have no way to make your case. Anyway, you have to really stretch it beyond reason to see transphobia behind anything RMS has said, written, or done.

We are currently talking about an attempt to crucify him by mob rule, which is not only about him, but about a dangerous trend in society.

We were barely able to keep this post alive. It doesn't matter. Stallman will probably be out of the FSF soon and people will keep thinking of him as a monster and be happy that they got rid of him in this way.

Richard Stallman has changed his views on the matter with a very sincere newer note. I am not ok with adults having sex with children by the way and I never was. Now, at what age do you think that a child is capable of giving consent to und

The only difference I can see is that he could do himself a favor by amending the older note. Why do you think it could be sign of insincerity? There are also literally many thousands of political notes in his site, but people seem to be fi

Also, he is apparently transphobic because of an article he wrote on pronouns. At least admit that this is ridiculous. The misogyny and ableism claims are similarly stupid, but who cares?

You have to admit that the open letter paints him as something much worse than that though. Quite the vicious and hotheaded campaign that naturally ended up being divisive. At least they did not call him racist.
