@ricci @ireneista I second this :)

"Programming is building a mental model. It is not mechanical code production. The shared mental model in developers' minds is the real product. A program is "living" only while the team understands this theory. When programmers leave, it becomes "dead". Without the original theory, new maintainers treat software as a black box, creating patchwork fixes that cause side effects and architectural decay."

Absolute truth.

Originally from Peter Naur's "Programming as Theory Building" (1985)

so the fuckwad is a nepobaby? all these teen-looking CEOs must be fronts for heirs of military-industrial complex profiteers. it’s not doxxing if people post research on their parasite parents or grandparents.

the gringolarchy controls USA journalism. USA barely has a free press. european newspapers are failing the world if they don't get on that shit and start exposing USA techbros nazi lineages.

#EconomicJustice is an #infosec issue.

Cybersecurity defenders face an ever-growing flood of professionalized online criminal activity: hacking, scams, ransomware, fraud, etc., etc.

One thing many online criminal groups have in common is, they’re located in impoverished countries where the standard of living is brutal, life is precarious, and many people think that stealing from people in first-world countries is reparations for the harms of #imperialism and #colonialism.

@hukl she lost like 4–6 16th notes, but she kept the feel and nothing was missed. Absolutely brilliant.

In a touching show of solidarity among the tech oligarchy, Google, Meta, and TikTok are helping Xitter to suppress Alex Gibney's new documentary about Elon Musk, according to the Hollywood Reporter. A fool-proof plan for the "free speach absolutist".
