So this Suez Canal blockage thing... uh.... that's them right?

Ship leaves spy-haven Taiwan, draws a dick in the navigation map and then just jams itself in there, human error the only factor. Sabotages global trade for.... everybody but the US. China to Europe route blocked. Tens of billions burnt per day that it's stuck, prices skyrocketing in the short term, spiking so bad that the last time it happened it caused the Arab Spring "revolutions".

the ship weights 220000 tons the wind didnt run it aground so far up the submerged bank of the dredged ship lane that half its mass is no longer floating. something happened but collossal fuckups do happen, even in the favor of us interests.

https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2021/03/richard-stallman-returns-to-fsf-18-months-after-controversial-rape-comments/

quote:

Richard Stallman has returned to the Free Software Foundation's board of directors 18 months after his resignation over controversial comments about Jeffrey Epstein's sex trafficking of a minor and age-of-consent laws.

"I have an announcement to make," Stallman said at the FSF's LibrePlanet conference. "I'm now on the Free Software Foundation board of directors once again... Some of you will be happy at this and some might be disappointed, but who knows. In any case, that's how it is. And I'm not planning to resign a second time."

Video of Stallman's announcement is available at It's FOSS News. Stallman gave a talk at LibrePlanet yesterday on "growing injustices in computing," including "locked-down operating systems; user-restricting app stores; [and] requiring nonfree client software, including Javascript."

Stallman founded the FSF in 1985 and served as its president until September 16, 2019, when the foundation announced that Stallman had "resigned as president and from its board of directors." While Stallman is now re-joining the board, he is not serving as president. Geoffrey Knauth holds that position.

Stallman resigned from the FSF and from his visiting scientist role at MIT after the public release of leaked emails about the late computer scientist Marvin Minsky, who was on the MIT faculty from 1958 until his death in January 2016.

Virginia Roberts Giuffre, a victim of Epstein at age 17, testified in a May 2016 deposition that "she was directed to have sex with Minsky when he visited Epstein's compound in the US Virgin Islands," The Verge wrote in 2019 when the deposition was unsealed. (Minsky's widow, Gloria Rudisch, denied that allegation, telling the New York Post that she and her husband "were always together" when visiting Epstein.)

The leaked comments that led to Stallman's resignation were made in an MIT CSAIL (Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory) email thread about a planned protest against MIT's involvement with Epstein. Stallman objected to the text of the event announcement, saying that it "does an injustice to Marvin Minsky" by saying that Minsky was "accused of assaulting one of Epstein's victims."

"The word 'assaulting' presumes that he applied force or violence, in some unspecified way, but the article [published by The Verge] itself did say no such thing. Only that they had sex," Stallman wrote.

Stallman added that "the most plausible scenario is she presented herself to [Minsky] as entirely willing. Assuming she was being coerced by Epstein, he would have had every reason to conceal that from most of his associates."

After one person wrote that "Giuffre was 17 at the time; this makes it rape in the Virgin Islands," Stallman responded, "I think it is morally absurd to define 'rape' in a way that depends on minor details such as which country it was in or whether the victim was 18 years old or 17."

"We know that Giuffre was being coerced into sex—by Epstein," Stallman also wrote. "She was being harmed. But the details do affect whether, and to what extent, Minsky was responsible for that."



https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2021/03/statement-re-election-richard-stallman-fsf-board

quote:

We at EFF are profoundly disappointed to hear of the re-election of Richard Stallman to a leadership position at the Free Software Foundation, after a series of serious accusations of misconduct led to his resignation as president and board member of the FSF in 2019. We are also disappointed that this was done despite no discernible steps taken by him to be accountable for, much less make amends for, his past actions or those who have been harmed by them. Finally, we are also disturbed by the secretive process of his re-election, and how it was belatedly conveyed to FSF’s staff and supporters.

Stallman’s re-election sends a wrong and hurtful message to free software movement, as well as those who have left that movement because of Stallman’s previous behavior.

Free software is a vital component of an open and just technological society: its key institutions and individuals cannot place misguided feelings of loyalty above their commitment to that cause. The movement for digital freedom is larger than any one individual contributor, regardless of their role. Indeed, we hope that this moment can be an opportunity to bring in new leaders and new ideas to the free software movement.

We urge the voting members of the FSF1 to call a special meeting to reconsider this decision, and we also call on Stallman to step down: for the benefit of the organization, the values it represents, and the diversity and long-term viability of the free software movement as a whole.

More on the Suez boat

Here's another bizarre story featuring the same one:



I'm also hearing it was also Evergreen / Ever Given that was famous for blocking a major Chinese highway with a truck.

Possible it's an intelligence front company. What if the rubber duckies were a test run to track currents to evaluate the consequences of a bunch of debris in the canal, to supplement active plans to block the canal at some indeterminate point in the future to affect Euro-Asian trade.

Also, the Ever Laurel != the Ever Given, they just share the same ownership company and gimmicky naming scheme.

fwiw just dumping whatever in the ocean is basically common practice and widely ignored, the only problem with the toys is plastic is indestructible and they floated, so it didn't just sink to the bottom of the drink to be forgotten about forever.
