>an ideological position on "GPUs" as a category is bizarre even by Late Soviet FSF standards.

The FSF and the GNU project are both paralyzed by their inability to move on from Stallman. He may have been a visionary 40 years ago but now he's an obsolete dinosaur who hasn't written a line of code in decades and has absolutely no idea how modern computers work.

He can't update his own website. He evidently doesn't seem to know how GPUs work. He does his computing in a very unorthodox and anachronistic manner, and that's great for him, but irrelevant to most people who would benefit from more free software.

"obsolete dinosaur who hasn't written a line of code in decades"

The most recent code change in Emacs by RMS was on 2026-04-22 (0fb9d096e38), so ~3 months ago. He can write complex code (without AI), such as the `cond*` macro (707 LOC, all macro code), authored and pushed to Emacs on 2024-08-02 (18491f48d97).

		I stand corrected on the "writing lines of code in decades" portion but not on the rest. I think RMS does far more harm to the movement than he does good, and this ignorant, luddite take on GPUs is a poignant example.
