Many Topics to Cover

Drops in a big ocean

Since the beginning of August (page #18029) we've published nearly 1,200 more pages/articles (#19202 is the previous one) in addition to over 2,000 in Tux Machines (first for August was #46736 and latest is #48777 regarding 23^rd anniversary plans). My personal site turned 24 some days ago and since August I've published nearly 500 blog posts there (28 this month, 231 last month, 234 in August), so a grand total of almost 3,700 in all sites/blogs since August 1^st. In relative terms, pages that mention the SLAPPs are a drop in the ocean, maybe 100 out of 3,700 or less than 3%. We intend to keep if not strictly preserve that sort of ratio in order to focus on topics that matter to us and to readers: patents, Free software, GAFAM, and so on.

Malicious tongues want to pretend we only ever focus on one topic^* that we must avoid. That's pure nonsense. From a numerical point of view, it is outright laughable. █

^* Someone told Garrett: "Wow, Roy Schestowitz is still posting fresh shit about you today. Best of luck."

HOW DARE I explain what was done to me and to my wife? HOW DARE I?

Related to this, revisit Victim-Blaming in Debian:

Wouter Verhelst (Debian) said [to Garrett] about my wife and I, "they brought it on themselves now, didn't they."

I just wanted to correct him (I don't do social control media, where people issue threats against other people to entertain Microsofters). To quote the Judge's own words: "There is not the slightest suggestion that either Dr or Mrs Schestowitz did anything to invite or deserve it."

The right to self-defence is a real right. Nothing takes that away.
