I know a guy who refuses to use Google services, uses linux everything, VPN, used a special open source version of twitter to avoid "tracking", alternative YouTube homepage, etc.
Just told me about his 23andme results.

There's a lot of irony in being extremely privacy conscience (to the point that it is a lot of effort both to maintain and to struggle with worse alternatives) and then giving your DNA to a private company.
@TwitterSupport
What I want explained is how and why it is possible at all for any employee to tweet as another user. What is the mechanism that allowed this and why does it exist?

I'm not big into privacy so imo not much. Some people would say they are worried that this data could be bought/ sold to any number of different organizations/countries/etc. The fear you hear is, a medical insurance provider denying service or inflating cost based on your genes

How did they get everything so perfectly similar without actually stealing the footage, that's impressive.
Feels like someone told some vfx artist, "make this" and they did.

I know him very well, he did not use fake information. Even if he did, because of relatives it would be very easy to connect back to the true owner

I am in fact a developer 🎉. We have something called Access Control in responsible organizations. That said we don't know how the attack was carried out but the answer will be a little more complex than "because they have your data".
I can finally share the big news 🎉 I have been promoted!
My new title is:
Staff Software Development Engineer
of the Community and Partner Engineering team
@CircleCI
🎉🎉ANNOUNCEMENT🎉🎉
Thank you to everyone who helped me over the last 6 months since I started the job search.
I am excited to announce that I have joined
@depotdev
as their Senior Developer Advocate 🥑!
Get ready to talk about containers 🐳
Building in public has officially started for Shoutify! Shoutify will be your ultimate social media manager, completely free and open-source. Follow the repo, leave a star, get involved!
Tip for junior devs:
Find something of value that lacks ownership and take responsibility for it.
Projects often run stale, ideas go untested, workarounds go undocumented. Solutions go unseen.
Become a maintainer or owner of something and be a point of contact.

Government and big business contracts to keep ancient software alive. They get custom builds of XP with modern security patches. Idk how secure it can really be these days but they were doing this for a long time at least if not still
Today I am soft-launching my DevRel As A Service landing page. From video creation to SDKs, I am now offering my services to tech companies looking to connect with developers!
If you know anyone looking, help me out and spread the word!
I'm thinking an M1 mac mini as a home server might not be a bad deal. Just thinking on the most efficient /fastest way to give it mass storage. NAS might just be good enough, they even have a 10GB ethernet option.

Windows for life. Absolutely the best desktop environment. WSL is a game changer for 85% of your Linux needs. If WSL isn't good enough, neither is Mac's terminal. So a real Linux machine to SSH into is a must, but your main PC is all about your experience and software
VSCode is just straight-up incredible. Here are 8 plugins I can't live without.

Got some recognition at work for jumping on a time sensitive issue and releasing a solution. Recognition in the form of actual $$$, the best and most rare kind of recognition.
Feels good!

Cryptographic authentication existed long before NFTs. I use my SSH key to commit to GitHub every day. You and I are speaking via an SSL authenticated connection.
The NFT adds nothing new to the equation.

So I fully believe Apple did this first to save money, BUT you likely have an entire drawer of old chargers already. I'm sure most of those chargers are cheap junk that came with lower powered devices.
It would be far better if we all just bought a high quality charger.
