Reading the book, A People's Guide to Capitalism, by Hadas Thier, makes me wish I had explored Marx sooner. There are so many things that now seem more easily explained.

Wonder when a truly fair phone will hit the market? A truly fair phone would secure your data against unallowed (by you) and unpaid (to you) usage; it would be environmentally friendly; it would be obtainable by everyone; and it wouldn't make a profit for anyone. Is such a thing even possible in today's society? What else is required to be fair?

#osk-sdl unlocking a LUKS rootfs running PureOS on the #purism #librem5 devkit.

osk-sdl is an initramfs touchscreen keyboard made originally for postmarketOS, for unlocking a LUKS rootfs on touchscreen devices with no physical keyboards.

The long unlocking time is due to the rootfs being encrypted on a big core desktop system (see `man 8 cryptsetup` /--iter-time)

This article by Barton Gelman, in the Atlantic, pulls from sources within the Republican Party, and lays out their strategy to stay in power, essentially engage in a coup, if they lose the election.

Regardless of how many of us feel about elections, this is something we have to pay attention to.

The strategy Gelman talks about has three phases.

The first is using the police and forces from the Right to intimidate voters in cities in swing states.

I came into the company from a much better software organization (who unfortunately was coupled with bad corporate management ). Wishing I was closer to a big city, so jobs were easier to find.

Company has a complex operation application existing in an older product software written in spaghetti code. They decide they need the application on the newer product, but set the requirements as "must work exactly like the older software". (They already had planned to kludge in much existing software to save time on a compressed schedule.) I rewrote the code in a much cleaner fashion, so it works the same. Old guard can't deal with new design; hands off further dev to new temp.

A lot of software developers are rather myopically targeted at a specific software technology. This is a great thing, if you have a known need for that software technology in your project, but it can become a roadblock for moving beyond that technology. The roadblock is much more pronounced if the need is to move to a new abstraction level. Software developers are uncomfortable with step changes. Most programming learning begins with a 3GL and it tends to stick.

Software metrics is the only thing that can save the world from the continuous avalanche of bad software, but most software developers are not interested in (afraid of?) software metrics. They can move you out of your comfort zone just as easily as a new language or development method, but they are the only real path to choosing the best language/development method/tools for your specific project.
