Why I every time I hear something about Discord it is next level fucked up nuclear waste?

False compromising claims (sexual abuse etc.), death threats, hate campaigns and other aligning stuff that is better to keep distance off.

Never been there so might be wrong.

I just live by these rules in all scenarios:

1. There is a situation.
2. I figure out the AR's.
3. I do my best with varying success rate (I'm pretty good at fucking things up too sometimes).

That is not same as being ignorant. If there is something that I can prepare based on actual evidence, I will.

Future is fucking hard to predict anyhow. All I can say: don't panic.

Speculaversum is just not my cup of tea. Neither judging nor saying that my thoughts are better than anyone else's but this just works for me, and keeps me going.

If the shit blows up, then the shit blows up.

Don't panic.

@eLearningTechie Good! I salute to that :-)

@dec_hl @eLearningTechie SWIFT would be a lost cause then. Or soon like something that is a local payment system within the US borders :-)

Possible agreed, but not likely.

@eLearningTechie @dec_hl Even without this, universities really should have their own servers to be honest.

It was like that before, for better.

That at least I would count as +1.

@dec_hl I don't know how that would be executed in practice. It's not as trivial as you make it sound tbh.

Smartphones, within limits, I can imagine how execute that. I get that part (at least in some level).

Being Dr. Evil is not as trivial at the scale you are projecting it. It would be an accomplishment in my books.

I was not amazed e.g. how tariffs were executed. Why put tariffs in parallel when Trump could have scattered them within a timeline? That would have kept market in speculative paralysis state.

Now the market will reform and restructure more and more outside the borders of US. In the current time quantum it is worst possible situation outside US, and longer it takes, it will be worse for US.

Not played well, so based on that, I don't believe this fully.

@dec_hl I use this apparatus called "computer" for accessing Internet, and my email provider is within the borders of Finland: https://www.kapsi.fi/english.html.

I'm not sure I fully grabbed the economy part of this, despite the difficulties and unfortunate economic consequences. How do you even zero out economy?

I removed WhatsApp. The very last Meta service I had.

When I read this I was thinking that "I wish I was smart as Kalle" ;-) Best wishes for him.

@jani @laho Yeah I've read that article and that is a valid argument bring up here. Not dismissing the concern but there's too many unknowns to say anything conclusive (even how much there is risk that anything in status quo would change).

Probably Greenland situation could play a role here but in that how Linux development will continue is least of my concern to be honest. In sensitive matters it is better to really consider before you open your mouth. It's not ignorance or self-protection but instead it is about making sure that you don't spread any more FUD than there already is on Internet...

To be crystal-clear: diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility are core Fedora Project values.

Finally, I don't like aerc's manual (which does not exist). You end up searching stuff from Internet.

mutt's manual: http://www.mutt.org/doc/manual.txt

I switched back to mutt from aerc after two or something, and it was a good decision. Two or something years of using aerc made me more ineffective. I used mutt since 1999 before trying out aerc.

- Multi-account is counter-productive over "mutt -e "source ~/.mutt/kernel.muttrc", if you use subaddress extension for multiple email addresses (RFC 5233). I often e.g. send to LKML from wrong email address.
- Mutt has more effective search and filtering out of the box with no external programs required.
- Less confusing configuration. It's raw and simple.
- User-defined headers (my_hdr).
- Having a terminal is a disadvantage because I neither need it or want it.
- The source code of aerc is alien to me because I don't use Go. In mutt I can directly read from the source code what it does.

This has been grown for some time but it requires always a bit of effort to switch.

FOSDEM kind of pushed me to finally do it because I have no respect on Drew DaVault's recent actions but it does not root to that (as you can see above) :-)

@laho Personally, I'd be more pro-actively concerned about CSAM in EU if anything. It's a world full of risk factors ;-) If there was anything related to non-profits with HQ in US ever that would not be specifically for LF. It is just one of many. It's speculative as hell risk factor tbh. Not something I'd spend energy on thinking.

@laho not making a statement or expressing an opinion so I'll pass :-) It is just smart thing to do since it is not wise to travel instable countries.

And I don't know about US legislation on non-profit organizations so would not make sense to speculate anyhow.

I only express my opinion in social media, if I can go to a court hearing and fully disclose the facts.

Just for the sake of example, in the case of FOSDEM I was vocal because:

1. Organizers had all information available on Jack Dorsey when they accepted the talk.
2. No new evidence has been disclosed that would compromise Jack Dorsey after that.

For example, it has been a known fact that Jack sold his shares to Elon Musk for the last couple of years already. Even if I hated Jack by gut I still would think that it was wrong doing because I defend integrity over my personal feelings about a person.

Objectively you can draw only two possible scenarios from this:

1. FOSDEM organizers are incompetent as fuck.
2. FOSDEM organizers have no integrity.

Both are quite unpleasant outcomes, but either of them must be 100% true, and I can't help it.

However, if I said anything about non-profit organizations in US, exports and related legislation that would be based purely on a belief system. It also comes down to the question of integrity: if I cross that line I will loose it.

At least when it comes to bigger possible issues. Everybody has their ups and downs, and talks nonsense sometimes. That's just life.
