I’m not saying PGP was great, I’m just saying I haven’t seen any articles in The Atlantic about journalists accidentally receiving secret war plans over PGP encrypted email.

Currently at the Houston Rodeo concert. Power went out halfway through Journey singing “Don’t Stop Believing”. Crowd continued to sing it. On a totally unrelated note the stadium we’re in is sponsored by Reliant Energy.

Yes, this administration is dangerous and cruel, but they are also shockingly dim and incompetent. Opportunities are everywhere. Make everything as hard as possible. Resist every demand. Refuse entry without a warrant. Don’t take the buyout. Their problem solving skills are 📉

That Biden should have to issue preemptive pardons for men and women who defended the Constitution is a sad comment on Trump's vengeful nature.

I get a lot of db & distsys career questions and I generally suggest to ask them in the #careers channel on the Software Internals Discord. I suggest asking there because I prefer you get varied opinions from folks with varied backgrounds. It's a friendly and encouraging group.

How is this not illegal??? Cards Against Humanity is PAYING people who didn't vote in 2020 to apologize, make a voting plan, and post #DonaldTrumpIsAHumanToilet—up to $100 for blue-leaning people in swing states. I helped by getting a 2024 Election Pack: www.Apologize.lol
