As a consumer facing brand, this may be a problem. But as a technology for building custom social media services, I don't think this will harm its adoption at all. I know of two examples already of people modifying Mastodon to build rebranded "alternate" social media networks (Gab and Truth Social,) neither of which still refer to posts as toots to my knowledge.

Or for a more concrete example, look at how both Republicans and Democrats are treating Julian Assange. Investigative journalism and whistleblowing are under attack by all political factions and by the justice system, today. We cannot treat anti-free-press authoritarianism in the West as an "early stage" or tomorrow's problem.

This comment on an earlier post about the event seems relevant.

Yes, as did mine (allegedly.) See <https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2020/10/14/hunter-bi...>

It seems that in both cases the accused was acquitted or the investigation against them was closed. That's hardly a reasonable indicator of innocence though, as just like you said above, powerful people can often make up excuses to get away with crimes and corruption scot-free. You might be entirely right that one example really happened and the other didn't.

I still think the governor can be seen as indirectly responsible, since this is a result of insufficient security auditing.

Right, or allegedly trying to extort the government of Ukraine to end an investigation against the official's relatives. Corruption on all sides unfortunately.

There's multiple semi-active forks of TempleOS.

No, we can't conclude that yet. Gab modified their instance heavily from Mastodon code over several years. People are also pointing to an addition made by Gab, where an SQL query is used without input sanitization, as a possible culprit for the breach.

I mean quantum computers that harness the NLSE in their computations somehow.

Will non-linear quantum computers ever be possible? If so, how would they be made, and what would programming them be like? Do we still model non-linear states with vectors and transformations with unitary matrices?
