I'm not saying Corbet is saying that. It's just that these articles crop up relatively often, and yet... It seems precarity in open source is an essential feature of how it is currently being organized.

‘A federal appeals court on Tuesday rejected former President Donald J. Trump’s claim that he was immune to charges of plotting to subvert the results of the 2020 election, ruling that he must go to trial on a criminal indictment accusing him of seeking to overturn his loss to President Biden.
The unanimous ruling by a three-judge panel of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit…’

"In a stunning reversal, Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-K.Y.) is urging the Senate G.O.P. caucus to vote against the bipartisan border security and foreign defense aid package. It comes after spending weeks helping a bipartisan group of senators craft it, and just hours after he spoke in favor of the legislation."

Being pro Palestine doesn't justify staying silent about worldwide fast rising antisemitic hate crimes and how terrified Jews are these days of speaking our languages and wearing our Jewish signs.You having whichever view on what's happening in the middle east can't ever be accurate without living it. But ignoring what's happening in your own streets, campuses, workplaces makes you complicit. Don't be like those who watched the Holocaust. Don't be fooled into the new excuse for #antisemitism
