My apologies β I'm ridiculously bad at email. π€·
βπ€·β
I declare indefinite email inbox bankruptcy!
But do email if you'd like to receive an autoresponder with instructions on how to contact me.
Fediverse shortcut: a Private Mention (PM) to here does usually get a reply. (Now that I said so, I'm sure that will soon no longer be true.π¬
)
Use sfconservancy.org for SFC-related matters & ebb.org for everything else.
(We don't have individual copyleft.org email addresses set up yet.)
Over next 1-2 weeks,I'd appreciate an extended thread re: #FrameworkLaptop, #mntreform, & #FOSS.
TL;DR on my idiosyncratic needs:
* minimize binary firmware blobsΒΉ
* Having 2 disks in RAID-1Β²
* Runs stock Official #Debian stableΒ³
* Understanding best current replacement keyboard optionsβ΄
* Form factor that works for my travel needs.
Is @frameworkcomputer@fosstodon.org or @mntmn@mastodon.social better for me?
I'd be glad if β active engagement on this!

Response to a troll for the opportunity to say publicly why β in 2015 β I stopped saying βGNU/Linuxβ:
I say βLinux-based systemsβ β which I also recommended for SFC's stylesheet.
I ceased saying βga-new-slash-lynn-oxβ when Richard Stallman (RMS) chastised me for saying βLinuxβ (but not βGNUβ) in a post about VMWares #GPL violation. I had mentioned GNU GPL; no GNU software was in their product.
RMS told me I harmed #GNU every time I didn't footnote the word βLinuxβ & explain GNU/Linux.

IMO, Richard Stallman (RMS) is a genius intellect.
But RMS is a human being who is terribly wrong sometimes. RMS is likely correct 90+% of the time. But #SoftwareFreedom should not incorporate papal infallibility &/or divine right of kings.
The #GPL Agreements are some of the best licenses ever written; I thank RMS & I've dedicated my life to adjudicate them.
Judge #FOSS folks on their actions,not their technical vocabulary.
This is my last word on βGNU/Linuxβ. (Posted for posterity.)
