Stay safe, my friend. And don't you dare go hollow.

It must be so difficult to make sense of the world when you believe money might magically flow to projects run by people who hate capitalism and its prosperity.

Medic Kevin McPadden rushed to the World Trade Center to help save lives on 9/11 only to be left in shock

This video keeps getting removed from social media.

The first rule of engagement is never to accept the premise, the second is never to defend against the "allegations". You must reject their tribunal outright.

If they will try to trick God, do you not think they actively work to trick you too?

And still so many will support the deceivers.

Wake up.

Talking about it like it’s a baby in Gaza

Yesterday, @Parodyjeffx posted a screenshot showing Grok admitting Israel is committing genocide.

It went viral.

Then X permanently banned his account.

@hindulebron @themainbozz @BrodieOnLinux Luckly we have people like Linus Torwards fighting agains the politization of open source:

[Niles Sankey @NilesSankey]

Wrong.

The video game industry was built by a significant number of conservative men.

The pioneers of the Western game industry came from all sorts of political backgrounds (many were conservatives). From a social perspective, however, the majority were generally outwardly apolitical. Politics would be discussed, but there were no meltdowns over misgendering someone, or because someone voted for literally Hitler. It was a completely different social landscape. People were able to politically coexist.

Then in the 2010s, far-left identitarians invaded the industry and, through bullying and cancel culture, forced everyone else to comply.

Two groups of people were negatively affected:
1. Political normies who just played along because they didn’t want to lose their jobs (probably 80% of the industry)
2. Conservatives who spoke out and were ostracized/fired/quit

After vocal conservatives were pushed out, you’re left with a company of 25% woke assholes and 75% who either didn't speak up or just didn't care. That’s when the decline started. The leftist purity tests became more insane, more people were pushed out. Now it’s all collapsing.

But the tide is shifting. I have so many people (former colleagues, industry veterans) reaching out to me because they are tired of this bullshit and want to see change.

More people will speak out and reject the woke identitarians. The industry will shift back to its roots. It’s just a matter of time.

Doesn't matter if you like @dhh or not, you can't discredit what he's done in good faith.

I've created 3 distros, 2 of them grew to among the most utilized operating systems in the enterprise (CentOS and Rocky), if I can give credit where it is due, so can others.

It's really great to see the diversity in these meetups, given what you get called for just talking about Omarchy. Great work there @dhh

[DHH @dhh]

Now up to 34 upcoming Omarchy Meetups! Join the fun or start your own. https://t.co/ZbFktXHDq5

@TheFrogletWitch @typecraft_dev funny because you could not even entertain the actual topic. This is Linus:

[Laurentius of the Great Swamp @SwampLaurentius]

@TheFrogletWitch @typecraft_dev That is funny because Indiana Jones is one of my favorite movies of all time. But from what I can recall he only punched actual n*zis... you you know... you.

[Laurentius of the Great Swamp @SwampLaurentius]

@TheFrogletWitch @typecraft_dev This is extra funny because you are saying Im an holocaust denier for posting proof of the holocaust.
But not unexpected, as this is the same logic you use for calling, DHH, Linus etc nazis.
History will remember people like you for enabling atrocities like the genocide in Gaza.

[Laurentius of the Great Swamp @SwampLaurentius]

@TheFrogletWitch @typecraft_dev So is even Linus a n*zi now? Do you see these "n*zis" in the room with you right now?

[Laurentius of the Great Swamp @SwampLaurentius]

@TheFrogletWitch @typecraft_dev try again https://t.co/HQNbZc5ECA

[Laurentius of the Great Swamp @SwampLaurentius]

@TheFrogletWitch @typecraft_dev Are you illiterate or something? He is talking about his own views there, not about who can and cannot work on open souce. Did you even read the interview? Im pretty sure you didnt, because you are just a tool.

[Laurentius of the Great Swamp @SwampLaurentius]

@TheFrogletWitch @typecraft_dev lol, nice argument, that is not even true. Did you read what Linus said? Of course not... Reality must be too hard for you, so everyone who tries to show it is a "n*zi".

[Laurentius of the Great Swamp @SwampLaurentius]

@TheFrogletWitch @typecraft_dev lol, just as expected, liking technology is being a n*zi for these people https://t.co/mFfQS7rNy6
