Christmas Personified as a Catgirl
If there isn't one single ad network out there that isn't run by a government intelligence agency, I would be really, really surprised. -

And as I've said and will keep saying, increased client security, by whatever means, isn't going to fix the completely lacking server security that leads to these huge data breaches to begin. -

The more data that must be exposed for authentication, the easier it is to essentially "triangulate" whom is seeking authentication. -

The push for two-factor authentication has nothing to do with security and everything to do with wanting to be able to pierce online anonymity. -

I'm pretty sure what Kosh Naranek actually meant was that if you go to Java, you will die. -

@taknamay Pushing yourself to contribute to these projects with high standards will help you learn to become a better programmer too. -

All they have to do to defeat ublock origin right now is put random data in there. Done. Dead.
I'm not going to stop bitching about this until they fix it. -

@taknamay Yes but not in the way you're thinking. Projects with more restrictive contribution guidelines will look a lot better on a resume. Like, just as an extreme example, if you could say you were a Linux kernel contributor, that would be given a lot of weight versus a much more liberal project, both because of the importance of the project and how discerning they are of code contributions. -

@taknamay It's possible to get paid in free software development too, fwiw -

@taknamay It can be the best in terms of pure skill building, but the internships can offer better networking opprotunities, so there's some give and take. I wouldn't say one is objectively better than the other. -

@taknamay It can be the most practical way to gain real world experience in programming if you don't have a reasonable internship available to you. -

@iron @moonman @augustus Placing "social" as a prefix to any field of study indicates its the bullshit version. -

@archaeme @moonman @normandy Something I do, which I ought to make a way to do easier, or with a script or something, is occasionally check the logs for bad hubsubs/instances that no longer exist/instances that error out with federation and remove them from the hubsub table. It seems to do a good job of keeping things running fairly smoothly. -

@archaeme @moonman @normandy Not really noticing anything on HLA's end so I doubt its network related. -

@archaeme Most of YouTube's content isn't worth that. So if they want to favour that, they need better content. -

@tobypinder Pretty much. Companies that get that large feel they're "too big to fail" so they can do whatever they desire. -

@tobypinder Oh yeah, I mean, I could run my 1000 character limit several times over going on about the unpopular decisions YouTube's made of late, there's a lot of very poor decisions surrounding this, but ... man, a 10% viewership drop. Ouch. It's starting to catch up for them, I think. -

@moonman Have you ever lacked self-confidence so much that you had to write a several-sentence disclaimer preceding an article? It's one thing when you're doing it for disclosure, but this isn't disclosure, this is "oh god please don't come after us progressives"
