mekkaokereke@hachyderm.io - Students of US history understand what Lincoln knew: One reason you can't have slavery in some parts of the country and not in others, is because slaves run to the free parts.
But many of those same students don't realize that you can't block women's reproductive rights in some parts of the country and let it be legal in others. People travel to California. This frustrates the racists.
The racists are coming for women's rights everywhere. Nationwide. And they will use racism to accomplish it.

I’ll raise a quiet glass to Robert Mueller here. In the public mind, he was first the messianic savior of democracy and then an emblem of inadequacy and institutional failure — and both those visions did him a disservice.
He tried to do the right thing in a principled way. His effort failed, and we’ve paid dearly for that failure. The failure was his, but also all of ours to share: for every one of his choices that I can second-guess, I can name half a dozen places where others failed to hold up their/our end of the bargain, took the work he handed off and dropped it flat.
He failed, but he tried his damndest — and that’s more than I can say for a lot of folks in the USA over the last 10 years.

I've seen a bunch of "the CA age verification law is the best way to do a bad thing and so we shouldn't oppose compliance" takes, which others are rightly pointing out is a bad stance because it's blindingly obvious that compliance now sets the stage for compliance later and the clearly set up later is mandatory verification of age data. Even if you think that, for example, California's current "progressive" government won't go there, we're all currently seeing just how easy it is for a new government to pick up the oppressive tools the "good" government was using "restraint" with and put them to worse ends.
On the other hand, I'll freely admit that distros *do* need a way to shield themselves from liability right now. The clear (to me; IANAL) correct solution is to say on your website "don't download this OS if you're in a jurisdiction where it's not legal for us to provide it."). Assuming this does put you in the clear liability-wise, it has several positive effects:
- Stops zero people from downloading it.
- Makes it clear that your project will not collaborate with fascists/oppressive regime enjoyers.
- Means that when the next law makes verifying user ages mandatory (and/or explicitly requires using Palantir-adjacent services to do so) you've already got a strategy in place and there's no need for a "debate" in your "community" about compliance.
- Gets users more practice with "the law is malicious/needlessly bureaucratic/oppressive; let's ignore it" which to be honest people in general clearly desperately need at this point.
- Is the most effective political move if you want to resist the way things are going. Forcing the other side to explain why "California bans Linux" is good rhetorical strategy. Make *them* try to explain "well it's actually not so harmful since we let users set it themselves" and answer your follow-up "but what if next year the requirements change; I just refuse to go along with this slippery slope stuff and I'm not bothered if that means you want to *ban* me."

Here is wisdom. I learned this too late in life, and am still not sure I’ve learned it well:
❝Don’t feel like you need to fix everything. A common response to bearing witness to another’s trauma is to try and fix it. We don’t want others to suffer. That said, you may not be offering what the other person or group is clearly stating they need. If they need you to listen, and you choose to act but not listen, then you have both not supported them in their trauma and violated a boundary.❞

But it's worth recognizing the most brutal elements of church violence were directed at "others": Jews, pagans, Muslims, even other sects of Christianity. The Church's persecution of "heretics" neatly folded into the state, as the diest god of "Providence," represented by the "all seeing eye" atop a pyramid, ultimately justified a violent "civilization" of indigenous people.
The "Christianization" of the crusades became "civilization,' which, more recently, became "spreading democracy." Where once Atheists resisted the crushing oppression of the Church, they used the same arguments to justify the invasion of majority Muslim nations and the oppression of Muslims at home...

“How may the compulsive programmer be distinguished from a merely dedicated, hard-working professional programmer? First, by the fact that the ordinary professional programmer addresses himself to the problem to be solved, whereas the compulsive programmer sees the problem mainly as an opportunity to interact with the computer. The ordinary computer programmer will usually discuss both his substantive and his technical programming problem with others. He will generally do lengthy preparatory work, such as writing and flow diagramming, before beginning work with the computer itself. His sessions with the computer may be comparatively short. He may even let others do the actual console work. He develops his program slowly and systematically. When something doesn't work, he may spend considerable time away from the computer, framing careful hypotheses to account for the malfunction and designing crucial experiments to test them. Again, he may leave the actual running of the computer to others. He is able, while waiting for results from the computer, to attend to other aspects of his work, such as documenting what he has already done. When he has finally composed the program he set out to produce, he is able to complete a sensible description of it and to turn his attention to other things. The professional regards programming as a means toward an end, not as an end in itself. His satisfaction comes from having solved a substantive problem, not from having bent a computer to his will.”

Donald Trump has a strange effect on others.
I’m not the first to note that it seems like half his cabinet and strongest allies were virulently against him before they fell in line behind him.
These kinds of flips have been known to happen in politics before,
but never anything approaching the scale of the Trump phenomenon.
And it doesn’t just happen with officials serving under him and prominent allies in his administration.
The effect extends to people in …

Trump acknowledged this week that “most” NATO members have said they’ll stay out of the U.S.-Israel war with Iran.
So far, the only NATO members that have come out in support of the U.S.-Israel strikes on Iran are the Czech Republic, Albania, Kosovo, North Macedonia, Lithuania and Latvia.
Others, including Denmark, Finland and Luxembourg, have remained neutral in their opinions of the strikes, while issuing broad criticisms of the Iranian regime.

If there was a moment when the absence of a US strategy on Iran was exposed, then this was it.
Donald Trump demanded on Saturday that the UK, China, France, Japan and others participate in a naval escort for oil tankers through the strait of Hormuz.
Despite launching the attack on Iran, with Israel, the White House does not seem to have fully anticipated what was likely to follow.
Iran had few good military options for fighting back, but attacking US bases, US allies and m…
