So this whole desperate push to redistrict Indiana will probably lose Republican seats in the end.
Yes, of course they want to steal the election, but they could fuck up a one car funeral. They are doing their level best, and their level best is shooting themselves in the foot. This is why dozens of elected Republicans are retiring. These people know better than anyone what the plan is to steal 2026, and they are voting with their feet that it won't work.
In the meantime, we keep going.
@phnt@fluffytail.org But what if I need rescue binaries that I can run from a random kernel when the system borked itself and have them work.In all my years of GNU/Linux hacking I have never ever broken my system this badly.

So when we're talking about safety in software, if we aren't also having a really robust conversation about Safety To versus Safety From, then the people aren't really safer.
Both in their physicalism and their design, mechanical interlocks are specific. Safety From What, Specifically. Safety To Do What, Specifically. If we don't have those Specifics, we do not know if the safety measures work.
In software, that conversation isn't just What. It's Who.
Safety From Who. Specifically.
@paco Sure there have been dubious awards in the past, but none where the person was so thoroughly antithetical to peace in their character and life work.
In the case of Obama, I saw it at the time as an award for his campaign of hope bringing the US out of a dark period of Islamophobic war mongering and a symbolic victory ovet our racism.
