many of you have seen me speak out against Thiel companies participating in Rust and NixOS development, but I don't think I ever clearly said why

as anyone who has opened and read my bio will know, I'm fine with the existence and use of weapons. no, what I have the problem with is imperialism; and Palantir and Andruil, and their acceptance, is currently the means by which it's capturing our communities

I would say that I have a dream about open-source work bringing people together across borders and regardless of nationality, except that I don't, because I do open-source work

it's not a dream. it's a statement of intent, achieved by force if necessary.

a threat, if you will: lie in bed with Thiel or his ilk, and this will happen to you, too

@whitequark beautifully put!!!!

@Gopiandcode thanks

in a few years we'll find out whether what i do has had any relevance to life or just reads nicely
