This would only really make sense if they were trying to throw around the weight of the authors, which they clearly are not. Who makes these points is irrelevant when it's simply highlighting rms' own words and linking to them directly. Why should I care who wrote it?

Entirely possible but he's also a stubborn man obsessed with his own ideological consistency and absurdly precise (if not commonly understood) language. He's clearly a creep but having kept up with him over the years I think it's similarly possible that those statements aren't self-serving and are instead sincerely held dominoes 15 down the line from following the implications of some core principles.

That doesn't make them not disgusting and also does not mean he should remain the voice of our movement, of course.

No, but it's coming. Near as I can tell Gallery is the only one with a new release already and I'm grabbing it using Obtainium.

Being run by the project developers left after the primary dev's departure and (if you'll excuse the drama) betrayal by selling to what amounts to an advertising company. Personally I've started supporting this project on github, as losing these tools would be a massive blow to the open source Android ecosystem.

Yes, and there's an irony to it. That doesn't change that it's cruel and absolutely not something that should be happening even to the worst people out there, regardless of how much we hate them or if it's exactly what they were pushing to make even worse.

Like I said downthread, I wasn't really looking at derailing this thread by starting a debate, but to clarify my position, the industry as it exists today collapsing is entirely okay with me. I'd be happy to live in a world where all games were freely distributed public domain solo endeavors, small collaborations, and the rare larger (but still not this large, likely) productions organized as public works or naturally-occurring oddities.

This is not bait, I truly believe that all non-private art and information should be freely available to all for any purpose and liberating it is always a good thing. I'll leave your report unresolved for another mod to weigh in on, but I'm not looking for an argument and gave a minimal response precisely because I did not want to encourage shit-flinging.

Deeply frustrating to see. Their only sin in my book is selling it instead of freely distributing it, something Bethesda is equally guilty of. I only hope they make it out of this okay.

It's a FOSS alternative to Plex, if you're familiar with that. Less like a tv channel, more like a streaming service you populate yourself.

From what Madison said it sounds like it goes far too deep for this to change much. I hope things get better (since it's unlikely LTT just up and disappears immediately), but from what we've seen this culture of dismissal goes right to the top.

I don't even think he's pulling it out as an intentional tactic, I get the feeling he legitimately wants to be a good guy and is barely able to handle the suggestion that he isn't acting like one. Just a fragile ego and self-image.

Honestly they look way cooler with feathers. Older models of how dinosaurs looked were so bland by comparison.
