Americans: "Oh no, we couldn't possibly replace Andrew Jackson with Harriet Tubman on the $20; what kind of precedent would it set if we just started changing the picture on our money?"

listen, I've had my moments, but at least I've never mansplained Margaret Atwood's book to Margaret Atwood

When Han Solo casts his vote, you can no longer doubt who is on The Dark Side, and who fights for The Alliance.

Encryption backdoors must never be allowed. To prove that Tuta Mail and Tuta Calendar are free from any backdoor, the entire client code is published as open source. Let's fight against mass surveillance! ✊

- The fediverse is almost optimized for tricking people into starting instances without realizing how the resource/moderation burden will scale as it grows

- The fediverse therefore makes the single chief operators of a server a single point of failure

- Offers those operators no options for dealing with overextension/burnout/cost growth other than shutting down

- And offers the users no facility for saving either their usernames or their post histories when the shutdown inevitably happens

I feel so seen. 🚲

Who wrote this code tonight

I posted this pic to FB a few weeks into covid lockdowns, saying i was "throwing a few beers back with my buds", and one of my family members scolded me for acting irresponsibly

Meta has been storing 600,000,000 Instagram user passwords in plain text for anyone to see since 2012, but the Irish Dates Protection Agency is not having it, and has now fined Mark Zuckerberg USD 101 million.

feels so real

I recently had a client tell me my rates were too high and offer to pay me $1 a minute.

Okay, agreed. $1 a minute, based on how many minutes I trained to provide the experience and education needed to do my job. I practiced 2 hours a day every day for the last 40 years of my life. That's 1,752,000 minutes.

I also attended a university and completed a 6-year graduate degree. At 30 credit hours a year, that's another 10,800 minutes.

I also attended private classes post-graduation with Sir Wladimir Jan Kochanski. I won't charge you per minute for HIS experience, but my own study with him included 8 hours of study a day 5 days a week for 6 years. That's another 748,800 minutes.

So, totalling all that up, that comes to...
Just over $2.5 million dollars.
I accept cash, credit, or cashier's check.
