@TheQuinbox BTW thanks again for recommending TDSR! I'm still not at the point I can code a lot on it but I've been slowly progressing and it's been really easy to modify it given how small the codebase is.
A weird thing about living in #Massachusetts is constantly having other Americans tell you the life you live every day is impossible.
"You can't tax billionaires, they'll leave."
We have been, and they didn't.
"You can't legalize weed, it will increase crime."
We did, and it didn't.
"You can't make public transit free, it will cost too much."
We did, and it didn't.
And on and on, and the lesson to learn is don't listen to the billionaire media professional whiners and just do what's right for your community AND IT WORKS! But I still have to listen to this stupid shit every day.
«I don’t need a stair-climbing wheelchair that costs $30,000 and requires a maintenance crew. I need better doorknobs and or a ramp. But a ramp is boring. You can't make investors have a hard on for a ramp that doesn't connect to the cloud. You can’t give a TED Talk about a ramp. You can’t get venture capital funding for a slightly wider doorframe.»
Dang, maybe I'll actually get a pair of these now that the reverse engineering has gotten pretty far.
CIRA is the Canadian Internet Registration Authority.
Its CRM system is Salesforce. Its email is hosted by Microsoft. Its website is fronted by Cloudflare.
So much for "digital sovereignty". When organizations such as CIRA don't even make the effort, how do they expect others to do so? Very shameful.
Occult cyberpunk. Yap with me about decentralized systems, wearable computing, and biohacking.
