Seems like a wonderful win/win opportunity to have the software be FOSS but enable small businesses to provide hosting/support/customization. The biggest win of all is if we had an open/extensible/maintainable data

That's not what I was saying. And "winning" elections implies legitimacy but when that comes via gerrymandering, voter disenfranchisement, and possible vote tampering that claim rings hollow. If you actually believe in democr

I'm working on a project that is based on blockchain for the key purpose of making the data on it effectively available to all to add to and to consume -- basically providing a public utility for the data hosting. It's not a path

It's practice. Our next October surprise very well may be a false flag attack that will be the pretext for martial law. 10 years ago that would sound crazy but today it's very real. I wish very much to be wrong in my prediction.

That is an issue, but it's important to signal to those paying attention that the resistance is there and to not give up. We've entered Civil War II and I fear it will have to get much worse before there's any chance of turni

Yeah, by "Left" I meant "everybody who's not MAGA", because that's pretty much how they see the world. That "our" president is actively demonizing everybody who is not a loyalist fills me with dread.
