Yeah, but pair it with the exact wording of how Stallman walked back the paedophilia comment:
Many years ago I posted that I could not see anything wrong about sex between an adult and a child, if the child accepted it.
Through personal conversations in recent years, I’ve learned to understand how sex with a child can harm per psychologically.
It’s importan to remember that Stallmen only considers people up to the age of 13 children.
It would be weird if the OTW just outright stated that fanfiction was copyright infringement, starting off from the position of “yeah, it breaks the law” would be a bad form of advocatory. The case they link on that FAQ is about a parody of (at the time) 20 year old song, which is materially very different from how fanfiction works. I do think if it ever did go to court that a non-commercial exception would likely be carved out, but as it currently stands I don’t think there’s any precedent in either my own country or America that can be used to argue that fanfiction meets the criteria for fair use/dealings. Then again, I’m not a lawyer so my opinion probably isn’t worth much.
(sidenote: it’s mad that American copyright law doesn’t have an explicit exception for parody)
Fanfics are 100% copyright infringement, there’s no fair use/dealings defence of them. There’s just little point for corporations to go out and enforce their copyright, fanfic authors likely don’t have much money and it’d be a PR nightmare. Obviously this equation changes when people start to profit of fan work, it’s why AO3 doesn’t allow direct links to donation pages.
Sure, but software that targets a moving platform like Emacs can often break. I’m commenting on how stable Emacs is, even past major releases (25->29 in this case).

God, I love emacs
Isn’t Thunderbird completely self-managed? I don’t think they have anything to do with MozCorp.
Aren’t you basically describing readthedocs.io?
The only games that give me any trouble are some Japanese VNs, which can be absolutely cursed for some reason. Like, massive tech juggernauts like Cyberpunk are click and play, but I’ve spent hours getting books-with-PNGs working.
This meme would be so relatable if I had any friends.
To be fair, an ASML engineer explaining some advanced piece of tech would be great ASMR.
