First Zelenskyy, now Ramaphosa. Seems like this is going to be a "thing" for him.

I really hope I'm wrong and overly pessimistic, but I just don't see things getting "better" without something of that magnitude.

I genuinely don't know what the court *can* do to actually stop him. He seemingly has enough sycophants and/or people "just following orders" to carry out things like this.

Your one practical option is to actively reject tools that now exist to serve interests other than your own - and to help others do the same; and in doing so support the people who make the tools that put you back in control.

Are there solutions for everything? No - but if we don't start investing in them, and building them, and making them better today then we simply won't have them at all.

Because no tool, no organization, that sells out its users is ever going to stop.

@theruran I feel like there's a lot of "quiet" Ada fans and people interested in or working with the language, especially on the fediverse

@troublewithwords @murderbotbot @octothorpe
Yeah, that choice is one I was particularly annoyed about. I also worry about cis-/hetero-normalizing the gender of other characters in the story.

@octothorpe @troublewithwords I feel like I have to watch it as a big @murderbotbot fan, but I am worried about being having my experience of the overall story corrupted.
