hdfbdtbcdg··on No Radical Changes in GNU Project
These are not firsthand accounts. Nor are they accounts of actual bad behavior.

There is nothing in what you posted that merits me believing or disbelieving.

I engaged with your defamation in good faith. You provided no evidence of any bad behaviour so there is nothing more to discuss than you apologizing.

I won't be engaging further.

Edit: wow you even reposted the original hit piece.

Nothing here justifies what you said.
hdfbdtbcdg··on IRS issues additional guidance on tax treatment for cryptocurrency
It fits pretty well with how the IRS operates. They don't seem to care how money is made - as long as they get their share.

It is amazing to see a plea for basic standards of justice being downvoted.
hdfbdtbcdg··on No Radical Changes in GNU Project
What is being said about RMS is easily hitting the UK standard for libel including actual harm being inflicted.

Please provide any first hand accounts of actual behaviour that justify what you said. I've yet to see any.

hdfbdtbcdg··on No Radical Changes in GNU Project
Please provide some first hand accounts. No one has done so yet. I've seen plenty of second hand rumors etc but no one has put their name to any of them as the originator.
hdfbdtbcdg··on Re-writing the site of Norway's largest transport provider in Elm
Probably too politically divisive.

Nothing gets Norwegians arguing more than wolf politics.

It definitely needs to removed from the FSF. They have shown themselves to be unable to stand up to the mob. What will the next mob call for?
hdfbdtbcdg··on No Radical Changes in GNU Project
Please stop being obtuse. You know very well that people are 'asked to resign' instead of 'fired'.
hdfbdtbcdg··on No Radical Changes in GNU Project
Please just stop with the libel. Either present evidence or stop defaming people.
hdfbdtbcdg··on No Radical Changes in GNU Project
Yes. They got rid of RMS based on slander and libel.

They are no long relevant to Free Software.

Good hopefully he can separate GNU from the FSF and get it under responsible stewardship.

What? What is happening there?
hdfbdtbcdg··on South Park Responds to Being Banned in China for “Band in China”
Your English is fine. You could work a little on plurals vs singular forms of nouns if you want to present yourself as a native speaker. But your post was very understandable.
hdfbdtbcdg··on The Greening of Paris Makes Its Mayor More Than a Few Enemies
My comment was meant more in the spirit, "It doesn't have to be like that. There are better solutions".

In Copenhagen the airport has bike racks - its a 20 minute cycle to the city center.

OsmAnd recommended a 15 minute walk that goes under the road.
hdfbdtbcdg··on The Greening of Paris Makes Its Mayor More Than a Few Enemies
Google maps routing is rubbish for walking and cycling in Oslo. There is a tunnel under that road...

> How often do you realize you can't go from point A to B because it's impossible to street walk anymore?

Never. Literally never. I live in a European city though.

Edit: In the City I live in there are literally no cases where I can't walk if I have time and inclination. Norway has taken a different approach to city planning to the US.

hdfbdtbcdg··on Ask HN: What happens after no-deal Brexit?
Interestingly Y2K is not over. In Norway for example the national insurance number has year as a two digit string. A small number of people every year find themselves in a position where the state considers them as eligible to for instance re-attend kindergarten... At some point in the 21st century duplicate numbers may start being issued.

There will be long tail of repercussions to using two digit years for most of the rest of the century.

hdfbdtbcdg··on Federal Judge Upholds Harvard's Race-Conscious Admissions Process
Jim Crow was institutional racism designed to suppress one group and lift up another.

This is institutional racism designed to suppress one group and lift up another.

What is the difference?

hdfbdtbcdg··on Federal Judge Upholds Harvard's Race-Conscious Admissions Process
Racism is discrimination on the grounds of race.

Stop re-inventing language.

hdfbdtbcdg··on Federal Judge Upholds Harvard's Race-Conscious Admissions Process
It is absurd that a judge would knowingly make a judgement that a higher court will overturn.

Apart from anything else a waste of taxpayer money.

hdfbdtbcdg··on Boris Johnson uses search terms in interviews to hide negative articles?
I always assumed that that was a dog whistle to that large part of British society that wants the empire back.

They help less than you'd think. In reality the parents of the boys and girls on the inside of the existing networks steer them into in group friendships.

(They help more than nothing but less than you'd hope as a parent - even money can't buy your children entry to the upper classes.)

I strongly disagree that skin colour has anything to do with it.

In reality the elite school doesn't even help.

It all comes down to wealth and connections.

Mine did.
hdfbdtbcdg··on In Defense of Richard Stallman
> We do not have to tolerate terrible people to get results.

You are totally correct.

I see no reason to tolerate people that go around lying and digging dirt in order to defame people...

I also see no reason to tolerate people that blindly jump on rumours in order to push their political goals.

I definitively see no reason to tolerate people that seek to erode principles of justice on which our society is founded.

hdfbdtbcdg··on In Defense of Richard Stallman
In this case there should have been a very humble apology by now.
