Not originally mine but this is my rewrite.

Did you know there's no such thing as a stolen cybertruck? It's not because no car thief wants them. The moment it is stolen, it becomes an Edison.

The current chaos in WordPress caused by Matt seems like a good time to remind folks that the Mastodon “community” websites and trademarks are 100% owned by one man, despite pleas from current and former project members to make Mastodon a foundation with a board.

We lost a major trans computer scientist a few days ago---Lynn Conway. If you don't know Lynn's story, it's amazing. She's responsible for so much of modern computing. Invented multiscalar processing (basically sped up computers hundreds fold) at IBM but was fired when she transitioned. Restarted her career and wrote THE TEXTBOOK on VLSI (chip fabrication). And worked for DARPA during the Reagan administration. She came out of stealth in the late 90s. Amazing lady! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lynn_Conway
