If you hired a translator and they sent you a Google Translate translation, they would be a bad translator.
If you hired an artist and they sent you an image generated by Gemini, they would be a bad artist.
If you hired a programmer and they sent you a slopcoded website, they would be a...?
Yeah.
What is it with programmers and their desire for mediocrity?
Welp, its official. Interstellar will leave discord before 2026 as a response to their age verification measures.
To be clear: Interstellar will **NOT** be shut down, merely moved to another platform/medium.

@GrapheneOS is being threatened by French authorities for refusing to add backdoors and they're dealing with coordinated attacks in French media right now. They're pulling out of France entirely, moving all their servers, and fighting off a wave of bullshit one-sided reporting that makes them look like they're helping criminals.
They need us to fight back. Support them however you can, whether that's a dollar, sharing their story, pushing back on the garbage news coverage when you see it, or just telling someone you know about what's happening. All of it matters because they're drowning in attacks from governments and media and bad actors who want them gone.
This is the only Android OS that actually makes me feel like privacy isn't just marketing. They fight for us now they need us to fight for them.
The EU is pushing Chat Control and creating an environment where governments feel empowered to threaten developers into compliance, and if we stay quiet we're letting it happen. Show up for them in whatever way you're able to.

Do I agree with what Vaxry did? no
Do I think Vaxry is a facist for it? no
The same thing happened when he got banned from Freedesktop, and the same conversation happened when Pewdiepie swapped to Linux.
The Linux/FOSS community needs to learn the difference between a facist, a racist/abelist/homophobe/whatever, someone who's just a bit of an asshole and someone who likes dark humor.
Don't just jump to "FaCIST!", humans are not black and white like that.
Gotta hand it to the authorities. At first, I was mad when they scrubbed the Banksy, but they have unintentionally made one of the most powerful artworks of all time.
Everything they do to hide or erase it makes it look more poignant than the original.
