Yes, from a general misunderstanding of how microwave ovens work, and what "radiation" was during the 1960s and 70s.
The problem with the money problem is the money part. As much as I actually do want to donate to ALL the open source platforms I use, I don't have enough to do that equitably between platforms and even cover processing costs of the payment. 25 services split $100? Why bother?
A foundation with an endowment is actually the solution. The Open Source Foundation (or someone like them) needs to become a neutral arbiter and incubator.
But also - I would, and can, provide labor. I would love to give anything FOSS 20-30 hours a week of my time. But doing what? Should I get a part time job to support 25 FOSS services? Take Fivr gigs and donate it all? Or can I just directly hustle a part time work week somehow?
"Brad, I saw you cheating on Stacy at the club last night" [your pgp key here]
I do like this a lot.
Since you sort of need to be there with the hat, it makes me wonder of you might get more response and/or geographic spread if you has some sort of leave behind. A sticker, or a card that you can slot in places.
I do think that leaving it as the gpg key is better, not a QR code. It helps ID this for nerds like you and me. I would never scan a wild QR.
Yes! I spent 20 ~~months~~ uh, just minutes looking for a variation on this exact image! Thank you!
When they're born, they're called foal slippers.

But just in general, horse hooves are amazing and so weird. It's literally if your middle finger was half your leg, and the nail was a huge wraparound thing. Then plus you grew extra keratin on your fingertip like a mega callus from birth. Because why not?
Han Solo - I think my eyes are getting better. Instead of a big dark blur, I see a big light blur.
Wood frog - There's everything to see. The forest is beautiful and rich and vibrant, bursting with life. I love it.
Han Solo - You're gonna die here you know.
Wood frog - Han, WTF? I thought we were having a moment.
Horse feet are so strange. Actually, horse fingers and toes. Most of what you can the horse "leg" is what would be your finger.
With a big beefy nail that looks like horror when born, and smashes and rubs into place in their first day.
If they don't give you nightmares, you don't understand how they work.
There's 2 separate universes here.
Devs and tech companies care only for UX, convenience, and reduced friction to use any service. They would put their granny's home address and SSN in the headers if it made a page load 10ms faster. Their incentives are all short-sighted to hit the next goal to outcompete other devs/companies and ship their end of history killer app that will solve all problems - and that will still get bloated and enshittified within 18 months.
Then there's us, a subset of rational people educated about how much data gets transmitted, who are horrified by the general state of being online, and are hard to impress when it comes to more than just saying "privacy!" when promoting anything at all.
IMO, we have to DIY and cobble together so much of our own protection, we're closer to artists that live a strange life that few people understand, seems weird from the outside, but we love for the peace of mind. Which is not enough to be any appreciable segment of the market to move the needle on any product worth real money.
Not me, but my spouse. I love all the rugs they pick, we always agree, but I can't match or really even understand the excitement.
But if it's shopping for food in an open green market, sign me the fuck up.
OoooooooooK. So, who wants to start a betting pool on which day this week we get martial law? Price is Right rules?
Imma say Tuesday.

This 100%.
Wealthy people essentially pay staff to do make things happen for them, and those staff don't sign up for IG or FB stressing abou making sure to use their ONE email like RichieRich1975@hotmail.com for everything.
PA staff are both IT staff and human password managers, creating and curating massive sets of logins that are functionally disposable. With enough clout and money, if you DO have a problem with a social media platform, or your phone number, a PA calls an Executive CSR and sorts out the problem.
So it's that their "privacy" is masked by the haphazard way they interact with things that track them. For them, tracking them is security to ensure you know who they are so that have a frictionless experience. If they want a dummy account to creep on people or be a perv, they get that easily, too.
