  1. Disappointed that I forgot to include the quote from Harry Potter & The Chamber of Secrets where Mr. Weasley tells Ginny, “Never trust anything that can think for itself if you can't see where it keeps its brain.” in my testimony on the #SOFTWAREAct today.

      (yes, the book’s author may have been cancelled, but I still think that particular quote holds up as a pithy way of representing free-and-open-source software values. Tom Riddle’s possession of Ginny represents the dangers of closed-source/proprietary software pretty well)
