You're totally offbase. It's Anarchists vs Libertarians who think they are, and some even write code. AFAICT this was NEVER a 'pure coders list'. There ARE going to be ebbs and flows between the junctures of politics and pervasive surveillance, it's amelioration, and tidy code .... and an occasional stack overflow too.
"You're either on the bus or off the bus..." Some logger that hippies venerated said that.
Yes it was never "pure coders," but it was at least 90% PET and PET politics and maybe 10% schizophrenic rambling. Now it's maybe 5% PET politics, 80% racial strength/bicycle regulation opposition, and 10% schizophrenic rambling. -- Sent from Ubuntu
