> To say business tools and confidentiality are at odds with open source is comical at best. Some of us work on FOSS as a career. We still have to sign NDAs with customers, we still upstream patches to core components. It makes sense th

Oof. Confidentiality, NDA's, and other business tools like it are at complete odds with open source, free software, transparency, and honesty. It's comments like this that cement the idea of getting off of Freenode to Libera.chat

That's fine. We've already switched quite a few rooms to Libera.chat due to this debacle. More are moving as we speak. I don't know who's right or who's wrong. What I do know is that a LOT of volunteer IRC OPs left

Im honestly surprised that there aren't unemployed mech/elec/chem engineers out of a job, making and setting off bombs and demanding to be paid in cryptocurrency. We're already seeing a digital version of this terrorism

When the more puerile culture of The September that Never Ended happened, we saw most of this machismo garbage take hold. Myself, having access to AoL for a time, saw what that place was like and agreed it was a seething cesspool. Sexist, r

Weirdly enough, "Tits or GTFO" was primarily a 4chan-ism. Everybody was "anonymous", so if someone claimed to be a woman, she needed to show tits. Thats not to say I've never seen discrimination of any sort on irc.

And this is a post as a reminder that SQLite has hooks for encrypting. Although SQLite is in public domain, the encryption is not. They charge $$$$ for it. https://www.sqlite.org/see/doc/trunk/www/readme.

I'd confidently say it's harder. In person documents: requires being at a single location in the world single copy in secured storage in a secured building filled with people who can shoot you legally

Absolutely. You know, like "Confidential Police Informants". And its hella hard to hack paper in a locked filing cabinet, in a locked building, filled with police.

If it was only police conduct reports was in the leak, who cares. But its not. Part of the leak also contains all confidential informants TO the police. This, in the hands of criminal enterprise, is a hitlist. And given how the police opera

My big question, and I would love an answer: Why is it that an organization can topple to malware and ransomware by some L1 tech clicking on a "bad email"? People are going to click on shit. That's a 100% guaranteed fact - be

And the trick behind that is when you leave a company, they have to normally pay for unused PTO.... Unless the PTO is "unlimited" aka not accruing. And much research done academically and in business magazines shows that people us

It's also a great way to garner fake empathy and "create" a better working environment than you really have. People with lower/average mental faculties are more susceptible to these kinds of doublespeak. Its like those o

If a company relies on wage slavery and the implicit American threat of 'no work: no housing, no food, no medical', then those companies should die. Edit: it's funny how I'm modded down, but this is straight up 'Soc

How much of that is genetic, and how much of that is societal? Pretty much everything I keep reading in this area never comes to anywhere near a conclusion. Nature vs Nurture - it's this combined with a lack of scientific rigor that I

Even Hollywood feature films offer from 30 sec to 2 minute trailers. And that even goes for the mega-hits like the Marvel Universe. These folks think they're better than Hollywood at buying before you try.

I'd also play around with throwing C levels in jail for a week. Once its real skin in the game, I'd imagine they would have a real good look at their company-level actions.

Well, the only reason why the throwaway user was dishonest was because they didn't use ellipsis to indicate snipping content in between. They're technically correct. The app used a dark pattern and you responded by subscribing. Fr

Why should a private company be able to: 1. Store private goods permanently on the public commons? 2. Hinder the use of the public commons for long-term? 3. Treat the public commons as a refuse-dump? 4. Privatize the gains

I've always been more of a Caroso fan, especially his second treatise. I've even learned Alegrezza d'amore from both his first and second works and did them back to back :) Then again, Petit Riens is my favorite danes of Pesa
