Hi. I originally posted this using my questionable judgement.
Given what I know about the r/Seattle mods, and what I thought was the potential blast radius, I thought that this was important.
Now that we have the write-up at: https://www.reddit.com/r/Seattle/comments/1xhf6qp/archivetod...
... would you agree that archive.today appears to be a "threat actor?"

I am a huge fan of Alex Hannold. I am a huge fan of astronauts.
This is an off-the-rails interview between the Free Solo guy, and the woman who spent almost a year on ISS, and then traveled around the freaking moon.
I have basically watched all Hannold interviews, and he has never appeared to be more excited than to talk to the dirtbag who walked in space.
This interview is extremely non-NASA PR, and I hope that it might connect all of us nutjobs.

This is the most off the rails interview that ideally connects all of us nutjobs:
> Alex Honnold (Free Solo) Interviews Astronaut Christina Koch (~1yr ISS + went around the freaking moon)

Alex gives something like 50% of his income to TFA, and obviously he pays very close attention to details.

Are you claiming that the Cursor extension store - marketplace.cursorapi.com - does not add their own proxy to Open VSX?
One thing at a time. Please just answer this one question. I am just some dude, and I would love to chat about this.
The absolutists have not thought it through. Fallibilism always wins.

Privacy & Agency Rant:
While we missed the boat on Internet tracking, there is still time to avoid sailing through the final frontier of neural tracking.
Thanks to the BCI, we will soon be offered the trade of our privacy for the convenience of password-free login and faster typing. Next, there will be a quick TSA neural scan prior to boarding.
Then, thought crime will become a literal thing. If particular thoughts are not outlawed outright, they will at least prevent you from certain activities.
> Proposed neuro-rights include the right to identity, or the ability to control both one's physical and mental integrity; the right to agency, or the freedom of thought and free will to choose one's own actions; the right to mental privacy, or the ability to keep thoughts protected against disclosure; [0]
