the years as a system admin taught me that you can identify the influential contributors because they were the only people whose accounts were not immediately shut off when the management identified a bus factor.

and now i have a name for the phenomena; thank you.

very true and as has happened to almost all projects once they get a critical mass of users and presence in the ecosystem.

yes and they either become popular because of their usefulness and get organized like firefox/mozilla or they get co-opted by corporations and invariably enshitified like chrome/chromium

When people protested the continuing support for Israel’s genocide, Harris’ response was “I’m speaking.” It’s hard to imagine a better example of Democrats showing themselves as self-important, uncaring, and entitled than that response. In effect, Harris told everyone who cares about Palestine to just shut up about genocide and defer to her.

that was the exact moment when i could no longer convince myself to vote for her after wrestling over it due to project 2025 & ukraine and i think if she had not gone diet-republican on immigration, i wouldn't have been wrestling about it at the time.

i'm convinced that the dnc miscalculated our response to the election choices that they let us have and i wish i knew what it was about lgbt, ukraine, and latinos that made them confident that they could leverage these groups to cover for a genocide and a diet republican platform during this election.

the answer is always the same: look towards the future.

the accelerationism that trump is going to unleash of all of us is going to galvanize american voters into action and the last time that happened, we ended up with things like social security and unemployment as appeasements from the people in charge to neuter support for further leftward shifts in my country.

maybe this time around we'll get ubi after the dust settles.
