K-pod Billionaire Hunters?
Shame on Fortinet
They tied their engineers bonuses to their sales team, resulting in NO bonuses to their technical workers
Then had the NERVE to pour salt in the wound by sending a phishing test email about 2025 holiday bonuses.
GROSS.

What's it made of?
It's about 80-100% of something we call HDP.
Human
Designed
Privacy.
And well, it's pretty much what it sounds like. A privacy focused app framework built for humans, by humans. No vibe coding, VCs or profit motives.
Sorry for the video, but We still need some space, Carol.

“Nearly” everyone 😉
Veilid does rely on volunteers who run inbound capable nodes but they can be anywhere (and on any port). AWS, Digital Ocean, a raspberry pi at your house, whatever 😃

Meaning that infrastructure like AWS is not something that Signal, or almost anyone else, could afford to just “spin up.” Which is why nearly everyone that manages a real-time service–from Signal, to X, to Palantir, to Mastodon–rely at least in part on services provisioned by these companies. 8/

Update- once she saw the dress on, she was like "you look great and I'm stealing that dress"
And I went and half the moms were wearing similar dresses. And one mom was wearing a smash the patriarchy shirt, I was amongst my people. So no embarrassment.

So tonight I am volunteering at my kids theater event, serving root beer floats. And I was planning on wearing a nice business casual modest floral dress, and she instead is insisting that "I dress like a normie"
So now I'm threatening to wear my shirt that just says CUM (in the doom font)

Omg new AFI album is exactly what my soul needed.
It's about time davey havoc went full new wave- he's got that voice, it's perfect.
New album sounds like it could have been made in the 80s, with Robert smith co producing
