It was pointed out to me that this post is now quoted on their website, and misinterpreted at that. Roy, since I know you're following this thread: No, I did not say that you deserve to be harassed. Nobody does. When I said "you deserved it", that referred to your continued false accusations in the face of evidence to the contrary.
Also, sorry to spoil your thunder, but quoting Daniel Pocock is not the flex you think it is.
You are not wrong. Part of this is because Keith Packard spent a few years at Intel teaching corporate structures how you upstream a driver for Linux into X11 (at the time) and Mesa:

The internet was not a mistake
Social media was not a mistake
Allowing Corporations to dictate and control both of these things was the mistake.
(1/7) I suppose #Fediverse isn't the place people are discussing #RobReiner. But after 36 hours of deliberating whether to say anything, I feel compelled. This thread will be long,but I start w/ most important part:
It's an “open secret” in the #FOSS community that in March 2017 my brother murdered our mother. About 3k ppl/year in USA have this experience, so it's a statistical reality that someone else in FOSS experienced similar. If so, you're welcome in my PMs to discuss if you need support…
(It's called 'AIStor' these days, presumably to be buzzword compatible 🙄 but it's really an S3 thing, SDK at https://www.min.io/download/aistor-sdk
I mean yes if you're going to be serious about building a binary repository then higher-level tools like reprepro to track packages and their versions in different suites so that you get auto cleanup of old versions and easy metadata signatures are definitely useful, but they're absolutely not required.

A deb/rpm repository isn't much more than that. You dump packages in a directory and run a single command to extract the metadata into an index file. 'createrepo' or its C reimplementation for rpm, 'dpkg-scanpackages' for deb. That's all that's *required*. You then export said directory over http or mount it and you can install these packages with all the dependency tracking.

more than just a beautiful mug
my friend started making these gorgeous mugs with the goal of creating a beautiful pottery mug a friend with Parkinson's could still easily hold, but she noticed it's just in general very pleasant to use
It's comfortable and relies on balance more than grip strength. She makes the top handle different on each one so you can find your best fit.
another example about how accessibility and beauty can easily commingle
Well, kind of, what totally put me off COBOL though is its verbosity.
No, 'a = b+2'. In COBOL, you say 'ADD 2 TO b GIVING a'.
No, 'a = b', either. Instead, you say 'MOVE b TO an
Etc etc etc, the list goes on. I mean, if I want to write a novel, I'll use English rather than COBOL, thank you.
Not as religiously (in multiple senses of that word) as some of the people around me, but yes
You can drop the 'personally' part in that last sentence. Not only were you not alone in that, I have yet to find a person who *is* able to tell them apart without looking up the details, myself included.
