The developer isn’t accepting a job offer to develop it, they’re accepting donations. That’s literally how the software devs for Opensnitch choose to receive payment.

Responsibility is entirely your own fault for letting the “someone” know of your safe and it’s value. Do you know in America most gun safes are kept unlocked? Most gun safes are rather large too, hard to hide. Why doesn’t chaos ensue when this fact is known? Someone COULD go an steal all the guns and use the guns to kill everyone then rob everyone. But do you think they’d get away clean and no one would have any idea what’s going on? It could happen but hasn’t yet.

It’s another day, why hasn’t some nut captured Back yet and done any of the fearful things you’re insinuating yet?

In fact why didn’t someone just kidnap and torture ALL of the possible Satoshis? The names have been known for quite some time. I’m sorry but your theory that revealing who Satoshi is, is bad doesn’t hold water.

How? Knowing who Satoshi is, is a great thing. Don’t create a diety out of the pseudonym.

What? They murdered me then stole my money. I’m dead before I knew I was robbed so in your scenario I can’t die knowing the thief would be prosecuted, because I’m already dead. I literally dont care what happens then because I have no agency at that point in time.

The negligent driver was driving the vehicle though. The NY Times writer isn’t holding Back hostage and holding a knife to his throat nor indicating anyone should do that. Your metaphor is nonsense.

Then the person who harmed him will be prosecuted. And life will go on.

The NY Times isn’t calling for violence.

New comment by righthand in "Blackholing My Email"

righthand — Tue, 07 Apr 2026 13:25:30 +0000

There’s nothing to fall through, email fits it’s exact purpose. Email is supposed to have 0 sending/receiving friction. So one idea to fix it is to only accept email from addresses you’ve allowed. No one wants to constantly update their address book though, they just want the email (forgetting to remove the marketing email allowance after you receive the account verification link). So then there’s nothing to fix.

The abuse is by design.

Please go away. I do not need to do any of that, you’re just upset I don’t slip down the slope with you. Have fun with your age verification software.

I may have introduced framing but you made the threat of punishing me.

You have an attitude problem, you just can’t accept that you’re cattle with no agency and helping build your own prison.

The movie was made before handheld devices were a plague. Though you get a similar sense of it in the way that Frito is addicted to TV surrounded by ads.

The bullets appear to be suggestive tags not an inverse-feature list. Which is the confusion, perhaps changing the “x” to a red or “cancel” symbol (circle with line through it).

You’ve already rejected the advocacy why would I be trying to convince you of anything?

You’re in denial if you think the average person isn’t being turned more and more into cattle. Yes seriously, cattle camp.

> And since you brought it up: honestly, I wouldn't feel bad "punishing" you with this policy, just because of the attitude displayed in your comment.

> You're not going to get far acting self-righteous and pissing on other's legitimate concerns

Look in the mirror as well. You started with the “punishing you just because”.

100% agree, and to add it can be tough sometimes to walk away from a cool project. I had worked on a project building scientific trial software, an app to review 3D lung scans, and an ML model to detect lesions in lung scans. It was really empowering, but after the first scientific trial the customer stopped paying their bills and ended up in back payment of $1M. My boss closed the project which sucked but it ultimately cost the company and people’s jobs. Just not worth interacting with bad people if they stop the agreement. There is most likely more money later but there is also money that is on time with other customers.

I don’t care about majority developers. Just that Poettering’s will not be forced upon me. I just may fork or look at helping establish a better suite of tools in the future.

Also I never said my ideas were superior. Maybe go for a walk instead of getting upset someone thinks Systemd needs to die.

I think it’s about raising visibility of an issue. What type of code change the issue is tied to is irrelevant. However it helps that the code change has some already existing political momentum.

What other arguments are we going to try and whittle the governance issue down to “its just the code change who cares!”?
