It's interesting that people keep talking about the Trump incident as a "shocking act" when it really wasn't shocking at all if you've been paying attention to American gun violence and the Republicans' constant calls for political violence and death threats against Democratic politicians and journalists (though these are mainly targeting female, Black and queer journalists and a lot of the targets are women in politics, so maybe straight White male journalists aren't being subjected to nearly as much of this and just don't believe their colleagues).
I wish one journalist would just honestly say 'in a not unexpected act of political violence in our landscape of constant gun violence" or something that acknowledged reality. This kind of gun violence is now terribly mundane in the US and Trump and the GOP helped make it mundane.

and talk about the latest polyfill.io mess. Apparently someone took over a very popular project and started to serve malware. First XZ, now this. What does it mean for open source? We don't have any answers, and it's hard to even talk about this problem because it's so big. The thing is though, even if we can't fix open source, it's here to stay. Show Notes

If there's one thing I've learned as a browser-engine dev: Everything is political!
The most mundane things (e.g. how we answer "what time is it?") has the weight of historical politics behind it.
Software freedom is a political project, you can't "leave politics out of it"!
It makes a lot more sense to ask "how is this political?" than "is this political?". Because it is!
Technology is political.
If your project or organisation has a “no politics” clause, you’re saying you’re happy to exclude people whose very existence is political in our societies.
It’s only defensible if you’re coming from a place of privilege where the dominant politics are to your advantage so you can take them as given.
There is no such thing as “no politics”; there is only “no politics other than the politics of the status quo that I benefit from, which I’ve internalised as normal.”
If you view changing documentation to use generic “they” instead of “he” text as too political to be acceptable, then I’m sorry but your project is deeply unserious.
“The generic user is a man” is a deeply political statement, and hiding behind “we’re apolitical” is bullshit.
