This is just the kind of nuanced and balanced commentary that really helps move discussions forward 😏

@tripu Apparently I have whoever this is muted. Meaning he/she almost certainly engages in racist rants and is unstable (I'm pretty reluctant to mute people).

@freemo That's [Aral Balkan](https://ar.al/). He's a #freesoftware advocate and a fierce critic of #surveillance, and I follow him and often agree with him about those matters. We seem to disagree _a lot_ about politics and economics, though. He's quite opinionated and blunt in his commentary. That said, I have _not_ seen him engage in name-calling, abuse, or any other objectionable actions of that sort. But who knows. 🤷‍♂️
