If there's anything I'm learning from all this vlogging... Video hits in a way that text does not. Especially short videos. It's no wonder TikTok and Instagram are so popular.

You can discuss anything you want on here. That's kind of the point. Especially the stuff that's uncomfortable, outside the Overton Window, provoking strong emotions. If you want milquetoast, conventional takes go back to the centralized silos.

Once you deny the existence of God it's a slow downward slope to the denial of imago dei then to the denial of human rights, then to nihilism and finally a might makes right, will-to-power ideology. It's a dark and sociopathic ideology, without hope or redemption. And it's this darkness which was exposed yesterday which has rocked me. I'm a Christian, so it's days like this where I have to suppress all of my sinful instincts to hate on my enemies, to point and wag my finger, to even enjoy the condemnation they are receiving. Instead, I follow my master's commandment to love them and to pray for them. Because it's not Charlie or his family that need saving, it's the people celebrating his death.

Shocked that Charlie was so young. He goes out a martyr. May he rest in peace.

So the npm exploit happened because the developer was on bluesky and clicked on an email from them. Had he been on Nostr, all those npm packages wouldn't have gotten compromised. image
