F'ing bad-faith Karimov. People didn't just decide DHH was evil, it was based on evidence counter to a decade or two of widespread adulation. It's very OJ Simpson.

While I'd agree on that, attacking 3rd parties that are 'just' ignorant towards these statements or their effects, is one of the reasons why our society feels so split atm. Not everyone cares. That might be sad or infuriating, but maybe we should endure this inconvenience and focus on the author.

Good to hear!! As much as it sucks to have to switch around, the only lever we have to pull on this sort of conduct is "voting with our wallets". If people don't do that, especially in the face of noxious conduct, the entire system is broken.

"You believe in your heart that DHH is evil" Yes dude, that's how a functioning human brain works. See someone constantly saying evil shit, the logical conclusion is "boy, that guy must be evil."

That just reminds me: I've been about 85% done migrating my passwords to Apple Passwords for the past 6 months - this is good motivation to finish the process and cancel my 1Password subscription (that I've been on for over a decade).
