@mhoye Horrific stupidity from a group that have never been victims.

@mhoye what the actual fuck

@mhoye iirc the last release was codenamed "Epstein Files" (edit: not the last release, but a few releases back)

@mhoye what the fuck

@multisn8 That was my question as well. Apparently this project has a long history of naming releases out of whatever headlines are trending on the day of; one of the previous releases was called "epstein files".

Doesn't answer the question though.

@mhoye A pattern like that smells of "owning the libs."
"Look at us being all rebellious and politically incorrect!"
@multisn8

@mhoye What the holy fuck. Can we have a list of folks involved in this project to be banned from all reasonable free software spaces?

@mhoye OK from git history it looks like it's pretty much just this Ole Tange. https://cgit.git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/parallel.git/log/

@KatS Could also just be pure ignorance

@multisn8 Given the blowback they've already had about Stallman's behaviour, and having him on the board, that's a pretty determined kind of ignorance.

Association with the FSF had already become a red flag for me.

@mhoye They still absolutely worship Stallman, nothing surprises me about them anymore.

@mhoye what the fuck.

@mhoye wat

@mhoye wtaf

@mhoye wtaf

@mhoye My expectations were low, but this is lower than that.

@mhoye what the fuck. what in the fucking fuck

@mhoye WTFF

@mhoye jfc, these people make me want to not use computers because I don't want to be associated

@mhoye A shame it's named this for troll reasons. Would have been better if it was a sign Stallman was gonna be dealt with.
