Richard Stallman Is Still Head of the GNU Project

'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."'
