There was some pushback, so Drew addressed the haters on HN:
Many people in this thread take offense at the calls to (1) remove RMS because of his problematic behavior and (2) promote diverse people to leadership positions.
I will reply to all of these comments at once: get a fricking grip.
No one, including myself, is calling for RMS to be removed because he has the wrong skin color or s*x. He needs to go because he acts as if his demographics are the right demographics, and those who don't have those traits feel unwelcome and uncomfortable under his leadership. That's a problem with RMS, not with his demographic identity, and someone possessing his demographic traits (which, I presume, are probably shared with most of the commenters upset about this), but lacking his problematic behaviors, would be a welcome change.
As for the inclusion of more diverse leaders:
1. There is more than one leadership position at the FSF.
2. I am not calling for non-proportional representation, or for forcing proportional representation either.
If you feel threatened because someone called for a jerk who looks similar to you to be kicked out of a project, that's a personal problem. If you feel threatened by the prospect of being led by people who look dissimilar to you, that's a personal problem.
Again, to sum it up: get a grip. Jesus.
That's right, do better, chuds!

My official Microsoft Store Windows 10 Pro key wouldn't activate. Support couldn't help me yesterday.
Today it was elevated. Official Microsoft support (not a scam) logged in with Quick Assist and ran a command to activate windows.

Hello social medias, this is a heavy post so please keep scrolling if needed.
I know you remember my Torah portion was about Moses forgiving his brothers.
Sexual, physical, emotional, verbal, financial, and technological abuse. Never forgotten
I'm not four years old with a 13 year old “brother” climbing into my bed non-consensually anymore.

Microsoft wants to move Windows fully to the cloud
Microsoft has been increasingly moving Windows to the cloud on the commercial side with Windows 365, but the software giant also wants to do the same for consumers. In an internal “state of the business” Microsoft presentation from June 2022, Microsoft discuses building on “Windows 365 to enable a full Windows operating system streamed from the cloud to any device.”
The presentation has been revealed as part of the ongoing FTC v. Microsoft hearing, as it includes Microsoft’s overall gaming strategy and how that relates to other parts of the company’s businesses. Moving “Windows 11 increasingly to the cloud” is identified as a long-term opportunity in Microsoft’s “Modern Life” consumer space, including using “the power of the cloud and client to enable improved AI-powered services and full roaming of people’s digital experience.”

I hate the symbols in math so much. It just feels like unnecessary gatekeeping for trivial concepts. How many mathematical proofs could be made widely accessible with just a little bit of psuedocode?

To recap on the start of this drama, it all started with me finding a lemmy moment - a chomo instance being promoted as a popular lemmy instance
Eventually, Aevann pinned the post and carp made his own post about the chomo instance
This became the perfect time for the perfect gayop - call lemmy out and see how the lemmings will react (it wasn't all roses, a couple of lemmings thought it was a LGBT harassment campaign, but one did end up changing their mind)
It started with the RedditAlternatives post
Eventually, knowing that will go nowhere in two weeks, I ended up making 3 posts about this and called out the lemmy devs for allowing this instance to be promoted
https://lemmy.ml/post/5894174?scrollToComments=true (contains dev response)
https://lemmy.world/post/6172502?scrollToComments=true (LW admin inside)
https://lemmy.ml/post/5894385?scrollToComments=true ( this post went nowhere)
But how would it end? Would the admin double down? Would they do nothing? Or would they remove it?
Another dramanaut p-do hunting mission accomplished
Funny how this user banned for trolling on multiple instances ended up successfully convincing lemmy devs to remove and defederate from this instance, and not get outed by anyone.
