  • Nice, thanks! I’ve never had/made the time to learn any kind of programming, but anyone who does open source work is right up there with teachers librarians and firefighters in my book of “people I’m predisposed towards liking” (honestly more of a pamphlet than a book)

    Anyway, speaking as someone who doesn’t know much about any of this yet, where is that at in the development process? I’m guessing people send code ideas to dessalines/their team, the code is reviewed and approved by them, and then it’s sent off to the Google people for a review before it gets to the play store? I’m not in any kind of rush for this fix, so I’m just curious if it’ll get to me eventually on its own or if I will have to have a bit more initiative (sideloading apps is on my list of “things I really should have figured out by now” (honestly more of a book than a list))



  • Hell yeah, I’ll never not be mad that our garbage justice system let him skate for this long, but it’s great to see he’s getting one step closer to the jail/prison cell where he belongs (though I’m just going to get mad all over again when they give him lenient bail; also, where’s the felony murder charge for pushing a violent coup that was the proximate cause of multiple deaths?).

    Honestly, biggest surprise for me is seeing the Independent of all places get this scoop. They’re a fine publication, but they’re pretty U.K. based and not even as big as something like the Guardian, and normally when anything leaks out of DC circles it goes to NYT WaPo or PBS/NPR, so it’s weird to see them get this news.
