If you go to house.gov they let you look up your rep by zip code. I’d point out that the data is almost certain to be subjected to a breach, which would expose way more sensitive data than usual to whoever wanted it.
All my reps are Republican. They’ll throw my letters in the trash.
Start looking up freely available information about them on the internet and sending that to them. At some point they will start to recognize that privacy is important.

Why are they pushing Linux so hard? Many here are already on it. (sarcasm aside, ye this is not great news.)
I use 9, so this won't affect me.
But I'm more than willing to start smashing kneecaps if it comes to it.
I misread this as "I am 9".
And I thought, "well, I've got bad news for you, pal".

I don't wish to live on this planet anymore :/
this is insane, but i don't quite understand how will it be pushed on independent linux distros.
even if it'll be magically pushed into linux kernel, mfs will just create a fork without that shit... no?
