This is the personal web site of Richard Stallman.
The views expressed here are my personal views, not those of
the Free Software Foundation or
the GNU Project.
For the sake of separation, this site has always been
hosted elsewhere and managed separately.
If you want to send me GPG-encrypted mail, do not trust key
servers!
Some of them have phony keys under my name and email address,
made by someone else as a trick.

Richard Stallman has cancer. Fortunately it is slow-growing and
manageable follicular lymphoma. Treatment put it into
remission, and he can expect to live many more years. However,
he now has to be even more careful not to catch Covid-19.

Julian Assange rallies around the world are scheduled for May 20th.
(London is expecting a large turnout of supporters and mainstream media
outlets. May 20th 'MayDay Countdown’ Call to Action at London’s Royal
Courts of Justice.)
In Boston please join us on Monday, May 20th, 4pm to 5:30, to tell the
rush hour crowd that journalism is not a crime. That's when the Boston
'Free Assange' standout returns to Charles Circle (aka Hamilton Coolidge
Sq) by Charles Station on the Red Line. We'll speak with pedestrians in
the circle and target rush hour traffic. Two banners will hang from the
Frances Appleton Pedestrian Bridge on both sides and give oncoming
traffic the message “Journalism is Not A Crime – Free Assange!”
Also, please join us at Senator Warren's house on Saturday, May 25 from
10:30 to noon to call for her help. Paula and Julia will be there to
bring the message to her that we need her help. Signs will emphasize the
connection
between Assange and Gaza. We have tried getting her help for a long time and now
we need to increase the pressure and get her attention.
We have sent 5,000 postcards, many personal and handwritten, to 100 senators,
President Joe Biden, AG Merrick Garland and CIA director, William
Burns. Now is the time to
amplify
those messages.
Robert Reich explains how the bullshitter and Republicans
are trying to spread
chaos to discourage non-fascists from voting. After creating as
much real chaos as they can, they pretend there is even more of it,
hoping Americans will give up and not vote, or support a fascist
strong man.
I urge you to vote in Democratic primaries for the progressive
candidate, if there is one. And in the final election I urge you to
vote for Democrats, unless a liberal independent had a good chance
of winning.
Canadians: I suggest you seek election advice at a local chapter of a
group that pushes to curb global heating and has the courage to say,
"Canada should stop exporting fossil fuel." It will at least use the
right goals to suggest who to vote for in your area.

California is proposing an interesting approach towards
antisocial
media platforms.
It is exciting that SB 976 turns towards restricting recommendation algorithms. But
these options should not be limited to minors — every user
should
have this choice. (Please do not refer to teenagers as
"children"; that feeds the US tendency to treat them like children and
retard
their development.)
However, I suggest taking a step beyond just choosing to use or not use the
platform's
addiction system. Recommendation algorithms should be completely separated from platforms!
If you want to use a nontrivial recommendation algorithm, you should
be able to choose it yourself and use it anonymously. You could send
it the URLs you want it to base its choices on. These might be some
of the pages you had visited, and perhaps pages you had not visited.
Then it should send you its recommendations. You could pass
all, or just some, or none of those recommendations to the platform to
look at them.
AB 1949 is admirable because it gives a small boost to privacy for
users of all ages, not only for children. It isn't enough, though
— users should also be guaranteed the right and possibility to
access through the Tor network and to use aliases. And collection of
a user's data by the state should require a warrant against the user.
The door plug that blew out of a Boeing 737 Max 9 airplane was missing
four bolts meant to hold it in place. They were missing because Boeing
maintenance removed them and did not put them back in again.
Some workers actually made the mistake, but they were working as part
of a work system that Boeing management was responsible for setting up
and running. That's where the real fault is.
I suggest passing a law to require aircraft manufacturing and repair
companies to have a certain fraction of licensed commercial pilots on
their boards. Perhaps 66%.
Private equity is gobbling up large parts of the
US nursing home business.
This puts patients
in danger since private equity can amass lots of money, create an
oligopoly, and get away with abuses.
The study suggests that "regulation may be needed." I will take a
stronger stand and call for firm limits — perhaps even
prohibiting private equity combinations from owning home nursing
businesses.
I'v also proposed prohibiting private equity from
buying up lots of rental housing.
It should be illegal for a store to charge different prices to
customers depending on whether they identify themselves and/or hand
over demanded personal data.
More items where there
ought to be a law.
Quotes
Here are some
quotations that I particularly like.
(RSS Feed)
You can now read the political notes on
Mastodon.
US employers are required to protect workers from falls, which can be done with
standard methods. They are also required to report such incidents to workers'
compensation. But often
they
don't do either one, and it is hard to make them.
The US legal system is generally inadequate for enforcing workers' rights of whatever
kind. That includes union-related rights, the right to get paid one's wages, as well
as the right to proper safety measures. If the US enforced workers' rights against
their employers the way it enforces the laws that mainly benefit the rich, American
workers would, practically speaking, have far more rights.
There is a new political article:
Fight Modern Slavery, but Leave Astronomy Alone.
*[Life] insurance companies in Australia are fighting for access to
these test results.* The tests show
how
likely a person is to die from some cancers.
It is obvious why insurance companies want these data: to charge more to people who
have the harmful gene variants. The reason that practice is harmful is not so obvious
but it is important: life insurance is presumed as part of the state social safety
net. If you have dependents, you need life insurance.
Life insurance was developed back in the day when states hardly had a social safety
net. In a country with a good enough state system, life insurance becomes
unnecessary. That is the real fix.
The Putin forces torture Ukrainian prisoners of war, but they
especially
torture the musicians of military bands.
*Banks have given almost $7tn to fossil fuel firms since Paris deal,
report reveals.*
Almost all of those trillions has been invested in plunging headfirst
into making climate disaster worse.
The US left has largely come to define "Zionism" as the political philosophy of
the
apartheid system that Israel applies to occupied Palestine.
The danger is that valid condemnation of Israel's actual policies and
behavior may lead to a sort of anti-Zionism, the opposite or reversal
of each aspect of Zionism. This tends to transform the conflict into
one which admits of no resolution other than the destruction of one of
the two sides. That would be a horrible mistake.
I support the existence of Israel, which has the obligation (like every country) to
respect human rights and democracy, alongside a
state of Palestine which would (like every country) have the same obligation.
It is sad to see how little respect people get whet they complain
after companies charged them for mere access to a remote copy of
something, and then put
limits even on that access.
The author of this article bends over backwards to excuse companies for doing
something that is inherently abusive. He grants moral authority to the laws
companies have obtained so that they have power over people. He presupposes that
companies deserve whatever power they can get governments to impose.
When you get a copy of anything that has been published, no one is entitled
to the power to control whether, when or how you can use it. No one is entitled to
the power to make it disappear.
Digital
Restrictions Management (DRM) is an injustice and ought to be a felony.
When people defy that through forbidden sharing, don't call that
"piracy".
Australian border thugs stretched the lax Australian law to demand the
passwords to
unlock travelers' phones.
That they do this arbitrarily, without court orders, is an offense
against the rule of law. That they pretend it is "random", which
clearly it is not, is a lie that shames the entire Australian government.
Of course, Australia is not the only semi-free country that does this, and non-free
countries such as China do far worse. That is no excuse for Australia.
It is amusing, though, to see the complaining passenger complain that
it is unthinkable to travel without a
device that will snoop on him.
A Maga Maggot joked about giving homeless people counterfeit money to
get
them arrested. "How broken must you be to do this and think it's funny?", someone commented.
In the UK before Tory budget cuts, medicine for pregnancy and birth
was adequate, except for some disprivileged groups. Budget cuts have made it
generally
horrible, leading to injuries.
*Israeli public opinion is shifting on the Gaza war — but this may
make
Netanyahu even more reckless.*
*Hospital surgical teams that include more female doctors improve
patient outcomes, lower the risk of serious complications and could in
turn reduce healthcare costs, according to the
world’s largest study
of its kind.*
The Philippines found
a clever nonviolent way
to respond to China's naval
provocations in the disputed sea between them, which China is trying to seize.
*The 2024 Class of Gaza: The Students
Have Done Their Part.*
Night-Mayor Adams argued for allowing unauthorized immigrants to work
in the US by saying that they could fill
New York City's lifeguard
shortage.
I see no racism in that statement. (By the way, Adams is black; for
most political issues that makes no difference, but in regard to
whether his statements express racism it might be pertinent.)
It is true that only a small fraction of unauthorized immigrants reach
the US by swimming, or by water at all. His words may have suggested
otherwise; if so, that was inaccurate. But perhaps he did not intend
that implication. His words say that many of them say they can swim.
Anyway, if he was serious rather than sarcastic about the political
suggestion of allowing them to work, I think we can pardon that
inaccurate possible point.
The corrupter's criminal trial is a tour through a world of pervasive
corruption and immorality — the world he
imposes on those around him.
Global heating is making seasons unpredictable. Some birds
starve because after migration the
things they would eat are not available;
in some years the food has not appeared, and in other years it has already
disappeared or changed form.
The target of limiting global heating to no more than 1.5°C was proposed as an
ambitious plan. The evident failure to reach it
does
not mean all is lost.
Not yet.
The aid convoy attacked by Israeli nationalist fanatics was escorted by Israeli soldiers. They did nothing
to
stop the attack.
*The Nationwide Right-Wing
Attack on Reform Prosecutors
Is Now an Attack on Abortion Rights [as well].*
The four factors of the apocalypse:
global heating, global hating,
global eating, global mating.

No national identity cards
I'd like to make a list of countries that do not require a national
identity card, and have no plans to adopt one. If you live in or have
confirmed knowledge of such a country, please send email to rms at
gnu.org.
Here's my list of countries with no national ID cards
and no plans for one: Australia, Canada, New Zealand, UK.
Australia's previous government tried to
institute national ID cards, but the Labor government dropped
the plan.
India has mostly finished imposing a national biometric ID number
in a grand act of oppression.
Switzerland has national ID cards which are optional,
but they or some other government ID card are needed for some purposes.
Iceland doesn't have ID cards as such, but they
have ID numbers that citizens are forced to use frequently.
For example, the national ID number is often required to
rent a video or use a gym.
Denmark issues non-photo ID cards with a "person number", and many
services use this card to identify people.
Norway will impose a national
biometric
ID card.
Ireland
- national ID card by stealth.
ACLU: the
five dangers of national ID cards.
Wikipedia has a list of identity card policies by country.
Borders
Stay away from certain countries because of their
bad
immigration policies.
Flight connections
Avoid flight connections in these airports because
of their
treatment of passengers.
The Lifelong Activist
People often ask how I manage to continue devoting myself to
progressive activism (such as the free software movement) for
years without burning out. The best way I can answer is by
recommending a book,
The Lifelong Activist by Hillary Rettig.
I disagree with the book on one theoretical point in the last
part of the book: we shouldn't think of political activism as
being marketing and sales, because those terms refer to
business, and politics is something much more
important than mere business. However, this doesn't diminish
the value of the book's practical advice about borrowing
techniques from marketing and sales.
Disclosure: I am friends with the author.

"Those who profess to favor freedom, yet depreciate agitation, are
men who want crops without plowing up the ground. They want rain without
thunder and lightning. They want the ocean without the awful roar of its
many waters. This struggle may be a moral one; or it may be a physical
one; or it may be both moral and physical; but it must be a struggle.
Power concedes nothing without a demand. It never did and it never
will."
