Karl, Please, do _not_ feed the coward troll. Let him starving until learning to be a less boring and repetitive spammer, talking only about deaths and lies. Obs: - Jim Bell is a cutie pie, a real cypherpunk. When I am talking about "JamesD", I call him "Jim" only because of his website. -- ------- "Don't let anyone rob you of your imagination, your creativity, or your curiosity.

Thanks for your reminder and the semi-incredible github news. I did appreciate how p.r. introduced new information with references at a pace I could read and process. It is still hard to code while emailing.

There are ways to protect yourself without throwing the proverbial baby out with the bath water. The internet is a tool, and can be used for both good and evil. Using the internet does not necessarily have to imply a naked clearnet connection (i.e. no VPN, no anonymizing networks). I'm not a fan of a lot of things the FAANG companies (and significant minor players like Twitter, Uber, Lyft, Airbnb, etc) are doing, but that doesn't mean all technology is automatically bad, and everything done with technology is automatically bad. Spamming a list like this with a bunch of death/violence threats against public figures definitely *is* bad, though, and does not serve any constructive purpose. -- Shawn K.

When I think of this, I'm not thinking of whether technology is good or bad. I am thinking of how easy it is for normal users to have their devices compromised by those with the interests of suppression. If you're working on something important, which hopefully everyone is, you don't really want to be surveilled or secretly influenced by people who wouldn't want it to develop.

I agree, and this is perhaps the strongest argument for free software (in the sense of the GPL), particularly free security and communications software. -- Shawn K. Quinn <skquinn@rushpost.com> http://www.rantroulette.com http://www.skqrecordquest.com
