Richard Stallman Talk 'Delayed'

posted by Roy Schestowitz on May 15, 2024

Hours ago we said Richard Stallman would give a talk later today. But being unable to read French, we couldn't comprehend the preceding two sentences. Apparently it is being "delayed", but no date is given ("Repousé à une date ultérieur. Du au congé, il n'était pas possible de l'organiser bien dans le temps disponible."). So we probably don't know yet when (or if) he will give that talk in French. Being not his mother's tongue, this probably required a lot of preparation. And remember what happened when he had prepared a talk in Spanish and then came to people who speak Portuguese.

What is going on behind the scenes? If you know, please contact us discreetly.

Does the cancel mob also attack old cancer patients, trying to prevent them from speaking about technical matters? Because that would be very sick.
