Fun sidenote: I was the very first civilian to contribute to their GitHub project back in July 2015, when SIMP was the only project they had up on GitHub.
It was literally a one letter change in the README file, but I still have the privilege to call myself the very first civilian to contribute to the NSA's open source project: https://github.com/NationalSecurityAgency/SIMP/pull/1 https://github.com/NationalSecurityAgency/SIMP/pull/1

- temp1245 9y agoFrom the Stasi's wikipedia page: "Numerous Stasi officials were prosecuted for their crimes after 1990. After German reunification, the surveillance files that the Stasi had maintained on millions of East Germans were laid open, so that any citizen could inspect their personal file on request; these files are now maintained by the Federal Commissioner for the Stasi Records." I wonder if that will ever happen in the US.
- dangerlibrary 9y agoThere's something .. out of proportion when equating fixing a capitalization error with "collaborating." Collaborating with the Stasi often meant compromising the safety of one's friends, family, and fellow citizens - to the tune of seeing them killed or cruelly imprisoned. Changing "Github" to "GitHub" in a text file isn't even close to the same scale, and using that language is pretty tone-deaf.
