  • If it’s not open source then forget about it, it won’t go anywhere. I’ve had that stance of all software for decades now, but in the last few years boat loads of others have caught on.

    Its simple really. If the software is open source (ALL of it, servers, clients) we can all check it and all be sure it does what is advertised. If not, we have no way of knowing what you’re doing, especially on the server side of things, and if we’ve finally collectively learned on thing, it’s that we can’t trust companies on the server side of things. Data WILL be used in other ways than advertised.

    Since this software is supposed to be a security product, trust is paramount, and it’s bot there at all. Unless this product would be open source I won’t even look at it.








  • I’m not an American…

    I’m also simply saying that ANY kingdom is bad. If you come up with whatever reason like “but muh king is the best!” It’s still bad. It’s still a kingdom meaning that rights are restricted.

    I want another leader? Well, too bad, it’s not a democracy.

    I want to publicly disagree with the leader? Maybe this king allows it. Will their offspring allow it too? No guarantees

    I want to publicly criticize the dear king, or maybe insult him?

    Do I really need to explain this? The Netherlands still has a king but he has zero power and is purely symbolic. That would be fine if they weren’t so fucking expensive.

    If you have a king with absolute power them you’re screwed one way or the other, today or tomorrow, but it will go badly





  • President Trump in an interview published Friday was adamant that he is serious about his talk of adding Canada as the 51st state

    It seriously ticks me off how news organizations are referring to trumps actions.

    It’s always cutesy, nice, polite.

    Trump doesn’t want to “add” Canada, he wants to annex it, invade if necessary. This is a hostile dictator talking about destroying our country and I think we should choose words that describe a little better what the fucker is trying to do

    Dude, these guys don’t want a streamlined government, they want no government. They want no taxes (for them), and just be the government.

    Yeah, government is usually inefficient and we can improve a lot but please don’t think or act like these people want an efficient government, that is not true
