Honestly, I’m a little surprised.

In time, I’m sure they’ll lean all the way reich

We are so back (to the 1900s)

Normally people quote something like that when they’re trying to point out something damning or draw attention to something that’s internally inconsistent… Is that what you mean?

Never let a good tragedy go to waste. Sanctify evil and call its detractor’s behavior abhorrent. Lie, confuse, dilute, and sow chaos. This is what they do, and they’re well practiced.

The sanewashing I’ve seen is wild. People crawling out of the woodwork to yap about him being a martyr for dialogue. Saw someone say “we sent a messenger and they shot him”… Aside from the fact that we know nothing about the shooter or their motive, buddy: have you seen the ‘message’? Because, yikes. I don’t think he deserved being killed and i condemn such violence, but i must acknowledge that the world is a better place; that’s just how the cookie crumbles when you live life as a morally bankrupt promoter of abject evil.

I was getting tired of all the bad news

I’ve been been deepdiving the cryptcom privacy space over the last week, refreshing my knowledge that was last updated about a decade ago. Signal spooks me because of the number requirement and centralization, but the tech is fine. Matrix is the new hotness but the clients kind of suck. I wonder if there are any i2p based apps? But Signal (or in my case, Molly-FOSS) seems to be fine for most purposes. Unless you’re the secretary of defense… There’s always Tox if you don’t mind the fact that it’s in dev and unaudited.

“Blue no matter who” UNLESS they’re even slightly against the status quo… Complicit traitors.

“I am not going to participate in this because it’s not legal, and I don’t want to promote something that is against our president’s laws, as well as against my own religious beliefs”

The kids are not alright

cries in 200 NixOS generations

No thanks

Could it be because they’re a zealous ethnostate in the midst waging a genocide? Or perhaps there’s some other minute nuance being overlooked… I guess we’ll never know. A mystery for the ages.

To be fair, “that I ever met” is doing some lifting there. Kinky trans&nb programmers are a minority of a minority of a minority. But a few of the best programmers I’ve met over my years while doing low-level C and C++ systems work just happened to be in that demographic… And wow: they were REALLY good at what they did. One was the kind of person who earned the right to wear a clip-on fluffy tail to the office, and no one would talk shit about. Different times, different places, but they were all the kind of people who would make competent management sweat about the low bus factor.

The company I keep tends to be quite private, but there’s no shortage of “it” pronouned puppygirls doing significant work in Linux spaces; god bless them. Nix has a lot for some reason… Also cybersec communities.

What a timeline…

I made aliases because I’m lazy.

Funny that the pride flag is on the left when the most impressive Linux devs I’ve ever met all did their best work while caged and plugged in thigh highs but… Whatever
