I’m lowkey awed that an organization claiming the name still exists.

    I’ve been following her for a while now due to her technical skills. I haven’t seen her do anything at all for IRL politics since then, so it seems like this was a past phase that she hasn’t commented on. She makes the claim “created the twitter handle” rather than something more substantial like “runs the account”.

    I hope she isn’t still a weird person but it’s hard to know with these ex-Googlers.

      Her lack of recantation leads me to assume the worst, that she is still an NRx edgelord but now is just self-aware enough not to shitpost on main. Also, her technical skills are certainly impressive but I don’t actually want to see ad-hoc binary distribution of software re-normalized. The world doesn’t really need esoteric “actually portable executables”, it needs trustworthy supply chains for reproducibly-built binaries.
