      Holy shit. It's basically "I'm sorry, but terrorists happened and people died, and now we can only build a small thing & only support OSX"

      I think too few are in control of too much when it comes to the internet. That needs to change, but there needs to be earned trust.

      Don't let this damage your trust in the indie web. It's more than one voice.

      @jaffathecake the indie web and indie are not the same thing; in particular, indie doesn't have much if anything to do with the web, I think

      @codepo8 @jaffathecake I don't like the way @aral does things, but I don't think he's that cynical; he's not looking for an acquisition.

      .@sil @codepo8 Yes, good luck acquiring us, Apple, when we don’t have any equity (we’re limited by guarantee). +@jaffathecake

          @aral @codepo8 @jaffathecake as stated, I don't believe that that's your plan because of integrity, not because it wouldn't be worth it.
