The #Guix leaders are indeed the reason I don't even give it a try despite some great people like you working on it.

I will reconsider when I'll read a public apology for this personal attack to a neurodivergent #hacker such as #RMS.

It worth to remember how that "joint stab in the back" was published while RMS was under attack because he dared defend Minsky's memory from the same sort of mob justice that was then redirected (and amplified on #BigTech social media) against RMS himself.

Some of those "leaders" who signed that "joint statement" a couple years later signed an even worse attack built on top of lies.

These sort of personal attacks have clear political goals, "incidentally" aligned with BigTech interests.

Now @zimoun@sciences.re could try to sort me among #Stallman fanboys to reinforce his beliefs, but in fact I'm pretty critical of RMS work: ultimately I think he based free software on a cold-war biased ideology, without a proper balance between communion (aka sharing strongly protected commons) and freedom. This huge error left space to #opensource and to the current use of #FreeSoftware by all sort of large corporations to abuse and subdue people.
Another (related) issue has been the total lack of a cohesive architectural design for #GNU system: RMS was too (inconsciously) fond of free market ideology to lead the movement's technically, and this lack of cohordination was turned by #ESR to the "bazaar" (not so subtle) sublimation of free market, to ease corporate exploitation of the high skilled labour of #hackers.

But in fact, with all of his political errors, he's still the most coherent and commited free software activist out there.

So I will consider Guix again when they will publish a joint apology with the same visibility the back-stab had in 2019.
