The answer is to leave the mainstream linux ecosystem, sadly. Slackware has been good to me. Openbsd is nice. Rolling your own userland is as possible as it's ever been. Maybe it's time to leave.

Mom and pop shops have so little recourse against this kind of abuse. I grew up in one that was killed by verizon, and this stuff still stings.

Where should we go? I make little things frequently and friends have been telling me to start an etsy shop, but stories like this keep me away.

Swift3 speaks aws4 auth now. The real problem is S3 clients that expect an amazon signed cert. No good way to fake that nicely.

It's probably a lot less chatty, and wireless data transfer eats battery.

Without microsoft, they have nothing. I for one welcome our new RISC overlords.

That's trying to influence people, not express an opinion on policy or candidates up for consideration. Winning isn't as important is being right, in my opinion.

You said impossible. I don't even need to come up with something clever here.

A poll showing huge support for a candidate from the poor queer Muslims would be a hell of a thing, wouldn't it? I grew up poor. I am queer. Winning isn't everything. Sometimes enough people need to care for things to change, and

You can choose to play politics, but nothing says you have to. I think we've done it too much already. If you have to sacrifice most of what you care about to win, you lose yourself, and that is heart breaking.

I love the "throwing your vote away" argument. Sorry guys, by voting for the big two, YOU are the one throwing it away. Third party support growth is a great indicator of the public's desire for real change. So what if you lo

Nah, profiling is no good. Probably a better idea to work on a solid recruiting process that can shake out practitioners of bad behavior from the candidate pool. Then you can handle it and more.

By "scapegoating", the parent post was proposing that they are poofing up the numbers for a nice press release about their anti-harassment activities by firing underlings, and simultaneously minimizing the probe's negative ef

I see a lot of documentation describing how it works, not what it does. I think most README.md files would be better as code comments. Personally, the most useful documentation contains a brief summery of purpose, usage, and then a few exam

Pretty sure protecting your personal space is the government's job. At least in the US. Not saying they are doing a good job in particular, but it's in the mission statement.

I went to a great talk at linuxfest with a mozilla developer talking about ways you could prevent tracking, and some of the means were mind blowing. For example, they can process an audio clip using your audio hardware without playing it to

Yes, you are. The argument is that facebook has become something that causes the rest of the web to be worse off. Less open, more bloated, more central.

Have you read google's website code guidelines? They actively encourage breaking the standards to save characters as long as it renders ok. It's kinda wrong, and I'm sure they have a little list of tricks they can pull to bre

Asking questions, challenging assumptions, bending the rules, and just trying things are all core to the hacker mentality. Well done sir!
