I've once overheard a conversation in the train where someone said "but cholesterol is good, right? Or are those proteins?" completely unironically. It got a good chuckle from me and several other people in the train.

I eventually learned he was becoming a PE teacher who made diet plans for schools. That was less funny.

How did you respond?

Are you worried the US GOV will start to extend their program from people without citizenship to other undesirables? I don't know a lot about what's going on in the US, so I thought it only affected people without US citizenship (although mostly PoC). Regarding benefits, it seems like that is a program funded by the state itself, so hopefully that doesn't change.

I understand why they want to avoid the liability, also are you okay?

Could you please explain what mean with that? Why would the CEO of Pfizer have paid for that?

EDIT 2025-03-26: Bloomcole was referring to the following: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pfizergate. It refers to when von der Leyen directly negotiated a big contract with the CEO of Pfizer with very little transparency and later refused to share any information about it.

Nobody embodies the EU’s elite-driven nature better than its incumbent president, Ursula von der Leyen. And no action of hers embodies its warped excesses better than her decision, in April 2021, to single-handedly sign off on a €35-billion deal for the purchase of 1.8 billion doses of the BioNTech/Pfizer vaccine. According to one analysis, the price per dose she agreed was 15 times higher than the cost of production — meaning that the EU overpaid the vaccines by tens of billions of euros. Adding fuel to the fire, the New York Times later reported that von der Leyen had personally negotiated the deal via a series of text messages and calls with Pfizer CEO Albert Bourla.

FYI, Tailscale is not fully open source

It's that rule again (vegantheoryclub.org)

Open source maintenance fee (opensourcemaintenancefee.org)
 

I saw this some time ago and wasn't really sure how to feel about it. On one hand it's good to make corporations compensate maintainers, but I also don't want to be forced to ask for a fee because my project uses another project that uses this.
