Hello!
I’ve noodled my way up from quieter parts of the fediverse to talk tech (and increase my general visibility to and of the fediverse)!
I’m a helpdesk tech who loves retro computing and videogames. The more obscure the tech, the better, and I’m a big fan of underdogs and unloved machines. Here’s a rare Cyrix-only motherboard I picked up recently as an example of just that.
Nice to meet you! Hopefully I’ll see you around? 👋

Taken as is, this is a complete slap to anyone who directed the FSF in RMS's absence. If the organization is so rudderless as to be cast adrift without one man then the bus-factor of that organization is too great for long-term survival.
The FSF needs to consider what their mission is, because right now their mission is in jeopardy and the folks willing to carry water for the FSF are vanishing.
