most counties in colorado offer public tours of the whole process. also anyone can sign up to be an observer. literally none of this is secret you just have to do like two seconds of research to not sound like a moron.

colorado audits every election by law. every vote is cast on paper. even if you got past the trusted build process (which is done by the secretary of state, not dominion), the paper audit would catch any rigged tabulation by dominion machines.

people should at least read their state's election security briefing. i live in CO, i've read a lot on our we run elections here (and most counties use dominion). there are SO many safeguards built into the entire election system that make rigging dominion machines both near-impossible and POINTLESS

The really fun part is that hash maps end up treating URLs that point to different places as equal so they are the same key. Now imagine using a hash map to route outbound requests…
I’ve seen some horrifying security incidents from this thing. If your linter doesn’t already ban it, go do that now.

my grandfather never spoke a word about his service in the war (european theater, normandy to battle of the bulge to remagen to leipzig). it was just a Thing You Don't Ask Grandpa About because it was so triggering for him
i only learned the details when he finally wrote it down at age 80

i was one of the few named authors of the internal memo at twitter, signed by like 800 employees, demanding jack ban trump after 1/6 and i have to admit i’ve spent too many sleepless nights since then wondering if we—twitter employees—won the battle but lost the war when we sent that to leadership
