What links those accounts is not special, it's OAuth2. I don't think there's anything stopping different groups from running open OAuth2 endpoints that just provide a PGP based identity service. I actually wondered why Keybas

Yeah, I was probably a bit spoiled at the time. I was at startups that leveraged AWS in the early days and their reps and support people were at least somewhat accessible but at the very least knowledgeable. That flew in complete contrast t

100%, I agree, going back to the Wild Wild West probably isn't the thing to do, but I think we can look at decentralization through the lens of modern tools for a brighter and more equitable future for the internets new and old denizen

Yeah, I agree. If I remember XMPP was dropped while using that old adage of "scale", which maybe was real, but in the end the net effect is the same. Advanced users know a broader breadth of the internet while most internet users

I understand the motivation. I work on platforms teams internally for companies (and have for a number of years). In smaller scale, this concept largely makes sense because developers at a single company come from a single culture which tho

I don't think the internet was ever going to become regulated. What did occur post-2007 was that what made the internet work as a disparate ecosystem of loosely connected destinations (news groups, message boards, blogs, misc websites)

I worked at a startup where we used Google Cloud. Even as a paying customer, when I'd try to talk to their "support" all they would do is try to upsell their consulting partners to answer a question about their own services.

I can tell you both from an inner source and open source standpoint, executives (more than engineers it seems, but that could just be my friends) have an outright fear of forks.

Man, this really represents the rift in Open Source and Corporate development right now. It seems like there are developers who contribute to Open Source because they like the mission, the impact, and the values. In contrast, there are othe

> I think great UX designers just grew up naturally having much more empathy towards others and having a much better ability to place themselves in others shoes and see the world from their eyes. This is nothing more than a trope.

Sure, I posted a reply to my thread that has some more constructive feedback and examples.

This guy is all sorts of irony, I've assembled some tweets from the last four days: - Preaching on how to "win allies" with positivity that he doesn't use https://twitter.com/hhariri/status/1315

Calling git a "failure" blanketly is dubious and I'd expect a "developer advocate" to know that. He actually goes on to say that he's "marketing his frustration" ( https://twitter.com/h

This is a really stunning representation of how someone started out with the right idea, shifted to the wrong idea due to outside pressures, and then wrote a blog post about it.

Man, I thought the first one was damning, but uh, this second explanation is just more plain non-competitive behavior.

There's also the good old argument that your argument has been used in respect to Google for decades and it has yeilded the exact sort of outcomes this paper is warning against.

The author fails to mention that changing SSH to a non-privileged SSH port also has other security implications that can be exploited. The other example they gave that it's "more costly" to scan your host to find the non-stan

The US has fought some interesting cases that have extended US law outside of the United States and cases that allow foreign nationals to use US law outside of the United States. A good example of the latter is when Iraqi citizens were able

Most tech companies are in-line with some form of abuse. Whether it's creating campaigns against reasonable salary increases to installing highly intuitive applications to track and monitor your activity as an employee. More simply put

I've been thinking lately that Open Source, much less FOSS, needs to separate itself from corporate entities entirely. I've seen FOSS/OS communities use proprietary technologies like Slack over Mattermost or IRC, GitHub over
