In this context that's implying that rms has done things such as looking for child pornography online, which is something we don't know and can't prove. Defending the right to do something != doing something

The article mentions how Windows reads an ACPI table, looks for a specific executable file, and willingly runs it. It's not the BIOS forcing anything to happen, Windows goes out of its way to look for an .exe that is bundled in the BIOS and then happily runs it.

>What's your basis for believing this?

I don't know. It sounds reasonable to me that as time passes more people become transgenders because it's more acceptable. Similar to homosexuality.

>If n trans people are killed one year and > n trans people are killed another year, the number of trans people killed has gone up, regardless of the size of the population itself (which, for reasons stated in the article, can't be accurately measured anyway.)

Yeah but the headline makes it sound like it's a problem that's worsening but if the % is not going up then the problem has the same severity.

I suppose there are more transgenders every year. Are killings of transgenders actually going higher when we compensate for that?
