Imagine losing an election to Donald Trump and then blaming "Russian trolls" for your failure.

Creator of Yarrow algorithm and EEF board member Bruce Schneier wonders "Who Are the Shadow Brokers?"
What??? He doesn't take for granted that it's Russia??? I don't either. I think it is Israel. They probably stole the Equation Group malware from Kaspersky when they hacked them in 2015. I'll tell you more if you ask.

Two pengiuns are standing on an iceberg.
One said to the other, "You look like you're wearing a tuxedo."
The other replied, "Well, what makes you think I'm not?"

Mahatma Gandhi: Truth never damages a cause that is just.

An actual war criminal is going to run the CIA. She apparently oversaw Abu Zubaydah's eye being gouged out.
She got five confirmation votes from Democrats. If the Democrats united against her, she wouldn't have been confirmed.

The Federal Circuit has reversed ND Cal on Oracle v. Google, finding that Android's use of Java APIs was not a fair use. If anybody has any questions about the opinion or the case I'm happy to answer them.

There should be a Debian-based distro called Eugene Debs.

Anyway, welcome!

I've made a deliberate choice against a quoting feature because it inevitably adds toxicity to people's behaviours. You are tempted to quote when you should be replying, and so you speak at your audience instead of with the person you are talking to. It becomes performative. Even when doing it for "good" like ridiculing awful comments, you are giving awful comments more eyeballs that way. No quote toots. Thank's

I was just thinking about how sad it is that Henry Kissinger hasn't died yet.

I endorse software freedom.

I do it by using software which is released under GPL licenses and other compatible ones.

I enjoy getting all kinds of work done every day without locking myself into proprietary formats or locked down code.

I don't bemoan that I am not able to write such powerful tools.

I celebrate that others care enough to make them and react when I point out a problem.

If Democrats want gun control laws passed all they have to do is arm the Black Lives Matter protesters like it is the 1970s.

If we were actually serious about gun control outside of its use to manipulate class power dynamics we'd not only get rid of all the citizen's guns, but also disarm the police and the "National Guard" as well.

The bad guys are already destroying America with cultural Marxism. It's about time we allowed the good guys to destroy America with cultural Marxism.
