>The foundation has maintained the High Priority Projects list since 2005, when it contained just four free software projects. Today’s version mostly identifies priority areas, along with a few specific projects in key areas:

>A free smartphone operating system, namely Replicant, which is a completely free software version of Android that the FSF supports financially. As the most-used computing devices in the world, smartphones need a free software presence, according to the foundation.

>An intelligent, voice-enabled personal assistant, a la Google Now, Siri, and Alexa. According to the FSF, those systems offer convenience, but come with “unacceptable tradeoffs” where privacy and control are concerned.

>Projects that encourage contributions from marginalized groups in society – free software has a rocky record where women, minorities and the LGBT community are concerned, and more inclusiveness is desired.

>Internationalization of free software, broadening its usability around the world.
In a similar vein, projects that help make free software accessible to people with disabilities are also encouraged, particularly assistive technologies.

>Any projects that help decrease what the FSF calls overly centralized web activities, and “user reliance on servers they don’t own.” Projects that help create alternatives to the walled-garden web ecosystems created by Google, Apple, Facebook and so on are a priority.

>Other priorities include hardware drivers, real-time voice and video chat, security, governmental free software, and assistance for fully free GNU/Linux distributions.

Well the FSF is officially a meme now.

It's over.
>>
>>58603001
What? These changes are perfectly reasonable.

No point writing free software for thinkpads if everyone uses a smartphone- or more accurately, if your goal is to get the most people using free software as possible, you should promote the use of free software for the most used devices.

Literally the most important thing right now. GNU bless FSF.

AH HA HA HA HA - It takes actual money, skill, and R&D to do artificial intelligence and voice recognition. They will never get this done.
>>
>>58603919
A lot of this will never happen

I wish they make HAL 9000 assistant voice. That sociopath machine had a really relaxing voice.

If they don't its free technology, someone will make their own version with that voice

what about making a fucking micro kernel? Hurd is more important than fake ass AI assistants and yet another xXxExtremezROMxXx for your chinkphone.

>Projects that encourage contributions from marginalized groups in society – free software has a rocky record where women, minorities and the LGBT community are concerned, and more inclusiveness is desired.
jfc, maybe the reason they have a rocky record is because they make up a minority of programmers.
Also "minorities" in a global context (because Free software is global projects) would mean White people, idiots.
Finally, there are plenty of faggots that contribute to Free software, just look at Rob Pike.

What the heck are you talking about?
What does this have to do with leftism?
>>
>>58610739
stall"""""man""""" is far left
he is the head of the FSF
which then means the FSF is leftist as well. which in turn means it can't possibly have anything to do with freedom.
please don't try to tell me that his views don't influence the organization itself because that's blatantly false as shown in the OP of this very thread
>>
>>58610814
OK, the LGBT promotion thing. I think is only coming up because of the head of Libreboot jumping ship over someone getting fired.
>>
>>58610889
>I think is only coming up because of the head of Libreboot jumping ship
so? how does that excuse this kind of behavior or change anything I've said?

that isn't the only example of his blatant leftism though. go read his blog. he describes Obama as too """"""conservative"""""" and constantly bitches about "antisemitism", capitalism, Trump, white people and other bullshit.
>>
>>58611023
I don't know, maybe its because I haven't swallowed my red pill yet, but I do see them looking for amateurs that fit the LGBT and colored race quota or turning down people with better credentials because it wont look good in their demographic

But I'm not going to go barking at them yet until I see it happen
>>
Man I really wish free and open source CAD software was a top priority, even stallman admits it sucks
>>
>>58611371
>swallowed my red pill yet
assuming you are over 20 it's too late. you already wasted a good chunk of your brain with nonsense.
>But I'm not going to go barking at them yet until I see it happen
you can be pretty much sure that it has already happened, especially since they decided to post this crap. any leftist organization by definition engages in such practices.
but that's besides the point. your initial post is simply wrong even if we assume they don't do any of this.

They should force an UI designer to make GIMP a proper alternative

This.

I hope they hurry thou.

yes, him using kikery like copyright by definition makes him a kike, as if his heritage wasn't enough.

GNUkeks would have to invent time travel. considering the shit quality of their """""software""""" I don't think that's happening any time soon.

Welp, who is the next on the list for representatives of free software, now that the FSF is drinking the sockjuice?
