Radioactive Butthole

I don’t have the time or resources to keep state sponsored actors off my back and its almost impossible for the average schmuck to do anyway. Some people really do need that level of privacy and its great that there are tools available to do that, but for me personally I just need to keep Corporate America off my ass and block passive surveillance by governments.

I’m (almost) completely degoogled and the only Microsoft product I use is outlook for work. For the moment, that’s good enough for me. I’d like to do more but honestly right now I’m up against diminishing returns.

You don’t understand that republicans are trying to outrage you over nothingburger after nothingburger. Its OK, it takes a long time to learn that lesson, but until you do you’re playing into fascist hands.

Everyone who is upset about this fails to comprehend that the world has fundamentally changed since then and Americans literally voted trump into office.

Either that or they’re paid trolls. Hard to tell sometimes.

Mykola was convicted before Hunter got involved.

But since you believe this actually matters for some reason, what did Jared Kushner get 2 billion dollars from Saudi Arabia for after being appointed national security advisor to the president (against intelligence advisement) and given sci top secret clearance?

I am NOT writing a database connector unless you add an additional three months to your projects expectations.

I am NOT writing an LDAP connector.

I am NOT writing code to execute shell processes safely.

And I’m sure as hell not writing an XML parser just so I can say I did it without libraries.

JS devs that import libraries for every stupid thing (lpad comes to mind) are bad programmers, but libraries are useful and have their place.

And if my boss doesn’t want me using those libraries, they need to specify that in advance or there needs to be a company policy to that effect. Otherwise, I’m solving the problem my way since that’s what I’m getting paid to do.

Jesus christ. Uh, are you OK buddy?

If they wanted me to use a specific tool or lack thereof they should have said that. Instead they said “fix this problem” and instead of writing the entire codebase from the ground up I used the tools that were available to me so I could focus on fixing the problem instead of fixing the fix to fix the fix for the fix of the problem.
