The elites don't want you to know this but the boats at the marina are free you can take them home I have 458 boats.

Outside of one-in-a-billion shots like Mangione, we're still at the discomfort level of unreliable whackadoos being the only ones to try violent direct action. Which means that instead of picking targets that would actually make an impact, they're picking personally symbolic targets that they have easy, ready access to. And they're not even hitting those targets with real success / possibly creating innocent collateral in the process.

We aren't there yet.

I'm gonna give them the benefit of the doubt and assume they were referring to self-hosted Gitlab.

But really anything that lessens reliance on and centralization at Github is an improvement.

Well there you go kids, he just explicitly named exactly all the things you should be doing.

And thank god! They raised me all wrong, I always had existential dread and anxiety from the start so I'm adapted better to this fresh hell than to the end of liberal history I was born into.

Oh SHIT, his lawyer EXPLODED? With all the FEDERAL CUTS to staffing I WONDER, did they still have A JANITOR to clean her GUTS OFF THE WALLS?

There is weird politicking and bizarre bedfellows happening in Turkish politics right now. Erdogan's allies to his right are advocating for Ocalan's release as some sort of diplomatic manuever. Ocalan's own nephew I believe has made it into parliament as a relatively outspoken Kurd, and I imagine he is doing the same for more personal reasons.

Meanwhile Ocalan has been pumping out some of the most excitingly radical and revolutionary libertarian socialist ideological literary material in the world in our lifetimes from solitary confinement (Yes it's torture) over the past 15 years, springboarding off the ideas of Murray Bookchin and instructing the PKK to abandon Marxism in favor of Democratic Confederalism, which they mostly appear to have done despite Kurdish culture's continued cult of personality around him. I can't help but wonder if this is a test: Turkey wants him to say one thing publicly, and he's hedging his bets that his comrades will know to not listen.

I've always pronounced it "In-jen-iks". I blame Jurassic Park and it's fictional biotech company InGen, but it does kinda also sound like "eugenics". But I dunno man, if you want everyone to pronounce your software a specific way maybe spell it in a manner where the pronunciation is more obvious? Just a thought.

Good cop steps back and lets bad cop have a turn.

Yup. If there was an encrypted, federated solution that provided all of the services that proton does, even if half as polished, I'd absolutely consider switching. I'd even consider running my own node. All centralized solutions that see success also become over time the thing you want to flee.

I'm not on the exit proton bandwagon. All CEOs are awful and I don't have the energy to do the vote-with-your-dollars ethical consumption dance every time we're freshly reminded of that fact. Especially not with the only service out there that packages data integrity, privacy, and ease of use in a complete suite at the level that proton does.
