This was apparently the best they could do before mochi ice cream was invented. Took them long enough.

Meshtastic. Let’s get some critical mass. Get single points of trust out of the equation.

Agree with the sentiment. Solar and print farms might be part of the picture though.

Maybe there’s a Nobel Prize for the most notable asshurt exhibited after not winning the Peace Prize.

Sometimes muscles compensate for inadequate peepee in the mind of the person with such inadequacies. There’s also some compensation around inability to be social with other human beings.

Unfortunately humans haven’t evolved from vilifying other groups of humans. What a shitty species we’ve demonstrated ourselves to be.

Sounds like he could have been a bit more creative in implementing this. Having something immediately traceable back to a username is no bueno.

Interesting to see so much interest in this. Boy did BB Bork what they had back in the day. The world was their oyster until it wasn’t because of their own hubris and it took them a decade to realize it.

Just stay in Canada. No need risking your safety or sanity right now.

Might be more fitting if Visa was positioned in the taint

Shadenfreude quotient high. No shame or personal introspection required for such feelings.

As long as the main line kernel remains independent, they can have at it.

Jewel beetles have beer goggles?

They have a predatory business model. “Hey we’re cheaper than the competition”. Once you’re soaking in it and need features, they have options but it’ll cost you. I reckon they have slick sales people who know how to pander to the egos of middle management as well. You know … The people who don’t actually have to use the tool but sure like to feel like they somehow matter.
