On Thursday, Richard Stallman reminded the GNU Project mailing list that “On September 16 I resigned as president of the Free Software Foundation, but the GNU Project and the FSF are not the same. I am still the head of the GNU Project (the Chief GNUisance), and I intend to continue as such.”
The next day, with no explanation, a one-sentence update appeared on his personal blog at Stallman.org announcing that “I hereby step down as head of the GNU Project, effective immediately.” But a few commenters on social media speculated that the post could have come from someone who’d hijacked Stallman’s site — and sure enough, that sentence had been removed by Sunday morning. In addition, for what it’s worth Techrights.org posted an unconfirmed claim Sunday from “a generally reliable source” that “Stallman.org was defaced by an FSF employee. The deface has been reverted, and the domain appears to now be operating on non-FSF infrastructure…”

But whatever’s happening, Richard Stallman is still living the life of Richard Stallman. Friday he also posted that he’s looking for a room in a shared house or apartment for at least two months.

“There should not be a cat (unless hypoallergenic), or a dog that jumps up excitedly on people (unless quite small), or a digital listening device such as Echo, Siri or ‘Hello Google’, or a card lock that records who opens the door. I will ask about cameras.”
