    This is the first time in far too long that it feels like there’s an org willing and able to throw down to back the individuals against the corpos.

    I know there are others, but it often amounts to fighting in court which, while valuable, feels more removed, slower, and doesn’t have the same immediate, tangible feeling of support like “We’re setting up a repo to reverse engineer your corpo shit and we’re even going to make it better. Bring it.”
