Is this one of the ways that Palantir plans to do mass surveillance? I would not be surprised.

That’s just untrue. The NSA even has a pretty cool repo.

Isn’t most software made by the US government required to be open source anyway?

I have been working for and by myself as a machinist for the last 15 years. The first round of steel tariffs hurt a lot, but I was able to pull through just barely. Now, I am losing every contract I’ve got when they expire (which is soon) and as a small fish I have almost no bargaining power on bids for jobs. I am likely going to have to shutter the business and sell all the equipment.

I am fairly confident that theNSA is aware of this kind of concern and they have an pretty cool repo.

Danger zone. Easy way to get sick.

Try Epicor. Now that is a steaming pile.

My favorite part:

Tesseract is fucking amazing.

What about Misskey?
