Hi Zenaan, thanks so much for your communication.
[Apologies for the top posting - I started doing that in this thread.]
I infer there is a norm against that on this list like on most. My phone with internet makes bottom-posting hard right now.
Some learn that going to a movie with really high expectations, results often in a disappointment, especially with the endless Jewish agenda to miscegenate, pornify, glorify violence, and de-white, all of white culture (which agenda as many know is well documented by many Jewish sources).
I wasn't aware of the Jewish thing and would be interested in seeing this documentation.
I reread what I wrote and added this: Most movies are disappointing, and some are blockbusters. Anybody can make a fan sequel to a blockbuster and become a youtube star. If the sequel is crucial, it gets used by everyone, even if it is only a few minutes long. I guess I repeat that a lot below. It's hard to speak in analogy.
Notwithstanding the political and cultural attacks we appear to be permanently under, the principle
I think things are hoping to be temporary. Might be important to relate around permanent, since that is my fear too.
applies to keep grounded, don't get carried away, take a realistic view of the work involved etc - a slow and steady appoach and determination to get your project done - it's much better than a flash in the pan which dies out before you've barely begun.
This sounds wonderful, and would work well in a group.
I'm thinking around any hacker can make a good tool, but they won't reach the oppressed unless it is eventually normalized. Jim and I are likely already surveiled, so things we talk about that stay small and isolated could get censored for people who need them.
Karl, if a "cautiously positive" message is so upsetting to you, you might also struggle with the persistence of intention required to complete the work you set out to do.
I don't think we are hearing each other here. The work happening isn't about my feelings. I struggle for reasons other than having feelings, but I can still contribute a little code to projects.
It was possibly unfair for me to release my stress from responding to other discouraging messages, on your message attempting support. I hear your comfort. I still worry for the project.
Big public projects have many people in them. I am asking to find others who are or want to be those people, too. This makes better persistance.
there's every possibility you will bring it to fruition though, so I remain cautiously optimistic for the time being...
Jim's running it now.
Forget cautious optimism: if you like an idea or hope for something, get involved, connect people together, and make it happen faster! Or it will happen on its own and you may never learn about it while assuming it might not (points to blockchained tianmen tank video and active git archive of ongoing police brutality evidence posted earlier). What are you trying to communicate?
IQNets is neither legit, nor illegit -
A lot of resources, like Tor itself, have strong assumptions of not addressing major public concerns. Of course they are all legit, but struggling. They provide known avenues for compromise without being aware of it. It can be hard to make code that works, or even collect public information together, without stumbling into a situation that results in that.
it is simply a collection of thoughts and email threads from this list, as to how one might go about improving Tor - although hopefully there are sufficient ideas somewhere to actually improve Tor (it needs improvement). If 'iqnets' still lingers, I even hope to have time next year to have a crack at it myself...
Sounds like we need to link that idea list with active Tor forks for community implementation, or start one. Do you need help doing that? Kinda realizing that if you think the idea is silly, disregardable, or nonurgent, which I receive a lot, that might be a strong "yes I do need that, many of these software issues have gone unaddressed for years and are affecting people in serious real danger and i may have been manipulated to stop this from working somehow, which I do not want at all" expression which would be right in context but really not very clear. Maybe a fork is linked with them somewhere already and I should know that?
Thank you for messaging with me. It is hard to communicate.
Listen I hope you don't stress about the CC thing - just remember that folks need only one copy of an email to be able to read it, and some of us prefer one copy (not two) of each email and don't have automatic de-duplication, that's all - no biggie.
Sounds like errors are okay if I remember the norm. Among groups of the severely politically targeted, we have found that sending the same message a whole mess of times, even when the mailperson's job is to delete it, can eventually get it through. How does it land to hear this?
Many folks understand big mood swings, and most have experinced them at some stage in our life or another. How you handle the need to not go too wildly up and down on the rush those swings provide, is a matter for you - good luck achieving what your heart/Soul truly seeks in your life, and remember, if you get confronted, that might be a sign someone is trying to help you - may be to see something they think might be good for you to see.
Sorry if I have upset or worried you too much, and thank you for your tolerance. I worry more about the distracting spam than the tears.
Good luck and God speed fellow Soul,
And to you, Honorable Hero.
