Huh shocked to discover that Elon's "content moderation council with widely diverse viewpoints" turned out to just be a Twitter poll

134 million saw it, but only 15 million voted. So that's a turnout of 11%. Hardly a triumph of democracy.

Stephen Fry used to loudly quit Twitter every time people disagreed with him so I don't think he should be doling out advice to trans people about accepting Jowling Kowling Rowling's vitriol.

There’s a time when I did - and loved doing - late night coding sessions, and had no problem working overtime. I was young, cared little for sleep and had no family. Create a culture that expects long and late hours and you’ll attract this demographic. It is often deliberate.

Amazing how many people have reached out to me over these photos with @elonmusk. Late night coding sessions + whiteboards are at the heart of what this industry was built on.

I don't want to point fingers publicly without more proof, but there is some fairly compelling evidence that at least 1 person involved in organising this conference was also involved in setting up a fairly dubious looking PPE company during the pandemic.

I have a simple rule of thumb with new conferences… if you cannot easily figure out anyone involved with it in advance, you probably don’t want to attend, speak, or sponsor.

Dylan Schiemann (@dylans)Thu, 17 Nov 2022 21:11 GMT

I made this point directly to Modern Frontends when they were asking for speakers. I recommended they put clear details on the site. They dismissed it as something only I (and one other guy??) cared about.

Management tip: BEFORE firing or alienating 75% of your staff, it’s a good idea to understand the significant design decisions that shape the form and function of the software and hardware that defines your business FIRST.

The story of how I could steal credentials on Infosec Mastodon with a HTML injection vulnerability, without needing to bypass CSP. Everybody on our Twitter feed seemed to be jumping ship to the infose

Infosys has a lot to say about security You can check out their website for a lot of buzwords , but it’s clear from all the stock photos that they take security Very Seriously Indeed ™️. However, from what I’ve found recently, it seems that Infosys use the following Comprehensive Management-Endorsed Proficiently Driven Cybersecurity Strategy and Framework items: Don’t use AWS roles or temporary credentials for your developers Instead, use IAM user keys and give them all FullAdminAccess permissions Never rotate these keys and store them as plaintext in git Use these keys to protect what appears to be medical data about COVID patients Have someone publish those keys and the code in a public package to pypi Keep those keys active for days after leakage Make nonsensical pull requests to try and remove all references to the leak The Leak This morning I woke up to a very strange pull request on my pypi-data project.

Tweets were always short-lived. Turns out Twitter was too.

I am really disappointed to see prominent voices in our leadership at Salesforce promoting things that are the antithesis of our culture and our values. The fact that I can say so without expecting to get fired shows we're still different. Let's keep it that way.

When someone writes "thought leader" in their own bio, then copies your work, word for word, without attribution, and gets a thousand responses on social media... Flattery feels awesome.

A quick reminder as folks are glorifying absurd hours again: 1. Sustained crunch mode leads to net negative productivity vs. 40 hr/wk 2. Working sleep deprived leaves you as mentally impaired as being drunk Working longer *feels* productive but it makes you worse at your job.

Bird watching is so perverted. You blow a little noisemaker that shouts “Wanna fuck?! Wanna fuck?!” And then when a bird shows up wanting to fuck you are like “Aha, I see you through my binoculars!” Sick behavior. Twisted behavior.

I'm so glad Elon Musk allows accounts with no profile pictures and only a handful of followers to pay $8 to be "verified" and post this crap. What is this guy "verified" as other than an asshole? No wonder so many of us are looking at alternatives.
