When Christ is truly in a church, they start whipping the moneychangers.
This is exactly what churches should be doing, calling out injustice.

I'm wearing earplugs today to help with my abnormally tinnitus. Surprise side effect: a LOT of youtube content is helped by sounding like it's coming from the deepest, most cotton-filled well in history.

The changed code is a small fraction of an open source contribution. Your commitment to understand the issue, how your proposed solution fits with the project, and be ready to own and push the review process forward is the biggest chunk of the work. Your effort is the contribution, not the code.

My favorite Lovecraft quote:
"There are vocal qualities peculiar to men, and vocal qualities peculiar to beasts; and it is terrible to hear the one when the source should yield the other."

Demolishing the East Wing of the White House before finalizing plans for what will be built above its ruins is a near-perfect metaphor for Trump's approach to economic policy. The only difference is the wrecking crew doesn’t claim the rubble is evidence of unprecedented growth.

As I always do with boycotts, I urge: be tough with corporations, gentle with individual buyers. For some people, Black Friday sales are the way they get their kids jackets that fit, shoes that hold up to the weather. Yelling at them doesn’t help the cause.

I'm talking with a friend about the history of white supremacy. We got into the "lineage of supremacy". I'm slowly starting to think the problem isn't a pan-caucasian problem. Seems to me the Saxons inherited their lineage from the Vikings. Discussion paused for research but it's interesting.

I think we should lean hard into the Pareto principle. Let's all of us sit back and not work while the billionaires and their sycophants do all the work.

Can we please stop using the word "sideloading"? It makes it sound like hacking a device. Sideloading is not a term with real meaning other than "not bought in an app store". Sideloading is normal usage of browsers, phones and ebook readers. But using that word makes normies think it's illegal
