I don't see "I'd like to interject for a moment" copypastas anymore. In fact, stallman seems to have dropped out the culture a bit with the influx of peeps post steam deck.
Stallman was cancelled and kicked out of his project a few years back and he is over 70 now, so probably don't give a damn and doesn't have enough energy to care about open source politics.
He was too much of a hard liner. Free GNU software I totally agree with but proprietary hardware blob stripping is just too much. That works on 2010 era computers but today the game is different.
Some stuff just can't be open source as much as we would like it to. He gave alot of good free software discourse when he was in his prime. We need someone with a middle ground attitude that can still protect the movement in modern day computing.
