    Who writes Linux and open source software?
    [08:01] schestowitz[TR]
    [08:01] schestowitz[TR]

    Even now, I run into those who think Linux and open source software is made by people living in their parents' basement and writing the code out of the goodness of their hearts. Wrong. So, so wrong.

    [08:01] schestowitz[TR]

    Yes, even now, some people write open source code to scratch an itch or just because they enjoy it. But if you look closely, you'll find that the vast majority of today's open source programmers do it for the same reason you do your job: money.

    Online Safety Bill: Spy clause could force Signal to pull services from UK
    [08:15] schestowitz[TR]
    [08:15] schestowitz[TR]

    The spy clause in the Online Safety Bill will give Ofcom the power to ask private companies to scan everyones private messages on behalf of the government. Quite simply, it is state-mandated private surveillance of the kind that we see in authoritarian regimes.

    The Biden Administration Staved Off Russias First Round of InfoWar on Ukraine, But How about the Second?
    [09:55] schestowitz[TR]
    [09:55] schestowitz[TR]

    Which is why I find these passages, from Politicos oral history of the events leading up to Russias expanded invasion of Ukraine, a good place to start reading it. Finer now Bidens Deputy National Security Adviser described bringing allies around to preparing for Russias attack by bombarding them with so much information they could no longer ignore evidence of Russ [09:55] schestowitz[TR] ias likely attack.
