And they create the open source software in their free time that then gets abused by big tech.

I’m struggling to get the downvotes. Can someone explain how this is not the case in our world? MongoDB had to change their license because AWS would fuck them over. cURL and OpenSSL are used by all of them without much help, Bambu (OK, not really big tech) fucks the AGPL, Microsoft fucks everyone, all AI companies rob open source code…

I’m fine with there being no catch and everybody gaining. They shouldn’t have to strike for it though.

It would make a million people with $1 million dollars. Now let’s give them $999 million dollars. They would still be millionaires.

Sure, a bit over a thousand of them. But not a million.

I’m fine with your second suggestion though, let’s do that instead. Or let’s skip everybody with more than a million in assets and distribute to the rest.

Sometimes there is no bad news but an explanation.

999 millions in your account still don’t make you a billionaire, even when you’re close. Few hundred as in a multiple of 100.

One could chop up the trillionaire to make a few hundred tiny millionaires.

Math is fun!

They didn’t say it’s bad news

They are probably still 13

Yes, but when you ask some critical questions and get “good eye, yes that’s my fault” back a few times, you start questioning everything.

25 years ago I was still programming in php and I was salting my passwords before hashing even back then.

They are not saying that you should have a good reason to store plain text, but to have a good reason not to hash, but only to encrypt.

Salt it, hash it, put it in a stew.

Even if he were helt accountable, he wouldn’t remember 5 minutes later and do it again. And the cronies surrounding him know that and do whatever they please

The job pays well, I make software I like, I have clients I like, and I don’t have to work with Google Chrome. Yes, I don’t like windows. No, I won’t look for a new job just because of windows.

Besides that, I’m talking them into using Linux each day of the week. But it’s a big company and it will take time.

Yes, but I do have to use that crappy windows bullshit machine 😭

Hey, tell that to my company’s device management team 🫩

And who in their right mind would break in to a house built by Microsoft?

Oh no, get worse soon 💖

I can’t remember where I was, but I do remember what I did. Nearly dying laughing.
