Missed opportunity to have Atlas recreate Raygun's Olympics breakdance.

Please keep up the great work on this! I love this split flap project. It's gotten me into electronics. I haven't had the chance to build it out yet, but I want to put together a sign as a project.

Your move, Aaron Rodgers.

I got a minor in philosophy in college and we read this book for one of my classes. At the time it was one of the hardest books I'd ever read. But someday I'll go back and reread it.

I'd be interested in recommendations about books like this.

Forgive my ignorance, but what does this do? I'm interested. Would I just add Twitter/Reddit/whatever to the file with an IP of 0.0.0.0 so it throws an error or something?

My comment doesn't meet any of this criteria. The original article was about a Chinese company's unauthorized fork of OBS. It's semantics whether or not you consider an "unauthorized fork" as stealing, but I certainly do.
So it's neither unrelated or a generic tangent, as it relates to intellectual property theft. It's beyond question both that China as a country is known for stealing intellectual property, and that Chinese companies work closely with the CCP.
In the introduction of The Wires Of War by Jacob Helberg, he cites a statistic that estimates that "Chinese theft of intellectual property costs Americans anywhere from $225 billion to $600 Billion every year..."

China stealing intellectual property? If only we could have seen this coming!

The Impostor's Handbook https://bigmachine.io/products/the-imposters-handbook/ has been helpful for me. Been using it to supplement learning from a coding bootcamp.

Rebecca Black from 10 years ago would've liked this.

For price & ease of use, https://divjoy.com/ would probably be where I'd start. The community and support are great.
https://nodewood.com/ Is another option that I've come across. I've seen usegravity previously but the price is outrageous. As a developer I don't want to pay that much of a premium for stuff I could do myself. Saving a little bit of time, sure. But not at that price.

What doesn't sit right with me is that a lot of this stuff is becoming very polarized. The same thing happened with Parler, when AWS et al just decided that it was too toxic to do business with and suspended the platform's infrastructure.
It seems to me that nobody on either side wants to tolerate freedom of speech. When you see something you don't like, the answer is tolerance, not "This person/thing/company" should go away and never come back. I'm just starting to see it far too often where something gets "cancelled" because it makes some subset of people uncomfortable. Inevitably the pendulum will swing the other way, and those who engage in this kind of activity aren't going to like the precedent they've set.
