Cishet white male. Offspring of immigrants. Free software and self-hosting advocate. Socialist. Anticapitalist. European. I acknowledge the incongruence of this list! Right now I'm enjoying retrocomputing projects on an eight-bit Atari 800 and 130XE, a sixteen-bit Atari 520STFM and a 32-bit 1996 IBM Thinkpad. I'm interested in operating systems, application and utility software, the claims made about the future we were promised with these machines, and the present we've ended up with.

@webmink indeed. It's not clear from the article what's actually going on. I mean, obviously it's some kind of misguided power grab - but what's the point?
It saddens me when Machiavellian types co-opt community structures for their own little power games. It's pathetic and destructive.
