Confusing event that crosses boundaries? url ends in .com, uses
centralized hosting infrastructure + javascript. says it focuses on
web3 i.e. dapps. looks like a real event.

Really heartening and grounding quote, thanks.

This second older paper regarding Assange came up in search results,
not certain why. Connecting wikileaks to the quote is interesting,
reminds of the recent post on leaving from dal (dal mentioned to me
privately of briefly resubscribing to share the newer article then
unsubscribing) regarding wikileaks change in public behavior.

Wikileaks is like a non-sequitor, and I'm sorry about that.

Regarding this, the apparent new public behavior of wikileaks seems
similar to behaviors of organizations after falling apart after
controversial publicity. If it was (likely) coopting, infiltration,
network redirection, etc driven by one or more spy agencies, it's
notable to have the display on the global stage of such a well-known
organization.
It's also possible that dal and i are ourselves experiencing these
things, resulting in us receiving different behaviors of public
organizations due to something intercepting or influencing our media
and websites.
