GNU is fully struck from my list of things I will use willingly. I will now actively avoid anything to do with GNU unless it's my only option or it's a very old version of their software. What the fuck is wrong with them? To be honest, it makes sense. They refuse to deal with RMS so why do I expect any different? https://mastodon.nu/@newbyte/116873299033649897

@mrmasterkeyboard@mastodon.social I think you are overestimating the amount of central control GNU has over invididual packages. For example, there are several GNU packages hosted on GitLab.com and GitHub (specifically GNU Mailman and GNU Radio, maybe more), both of which require proprietary JavaScript to use and are officially considered by GNU to be unacceptable for hosting GNU packages.
