If you use VSCode, you're supporting Microsoft's agenda. You're saying you're okay with abusive monopolists who want to restrict choice and freedom in technology. There are other, more open, tools out there that work just as well or better. The only really valid reason for using Microsoft's tools is to write programs for Microsoft's platforms. #microsoftsucks

A reminder that the AstraZeneca (née Oxford) vaccine was 97 per cent publicly funded. But thanks to the Gateses and the British powers-that-be, it’s another corporate drug now. Imagine if it stayed free, we might not even have the delta variant. https://www.thelondoneconomic.com/news/oxford-astrazeneca-vaccine-97-publicly-funded-researchers-reveal-264377/

According to @ProctorU, only 10% of the cheating flags its automated system makes are reviewed by humans, and partly as a result, the company will now discontinue its AI-only service. Your move, @proctorio and @ExamSoft.

The tedium of 3GL development often outweighs the thrill of problem solving.

Companies be like: we're looking for a junior developer with the experience of a senior engineer and the salary expectations of an intern.
Should one "clean" the house when friends come over, or does that just imply that they aren't really friends?
So called bipartisan groups in Congress always tend toward supply side economic "solutions".

Last week, Congress introduced the ACCESS Act, one of the most significant, pro-competitive, pro-user tech laws in American legislative history.
https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2021/06/access-act-takes-step-towards-more-interoperable-future
It will require large tech platforms to open up to interoperability, so you can leave the platform for a rival without losing contact with your friends, communities, audiences and customers.

At my work (Freedom of the Press Foundation) we're still hiring for a Senior Security Engineer to join the @securedrop team.
This is a work-from-anywhere role that's great for folks who have worked in security-sensitive software engineering roles for 3+ years (with or without the SecEng title).

Non-profit & open source jobs can be few and far between. HMU if this looks of interest to you or you have questions about it :)
It's probably good that by 2050 70% of the world's population will be urban, since cities shorten life spans.

Have been convinced we need mass civil disobedience to stop climate change. Extinction Rebellion might be cringy at times but they have a point.
Future generations can't vote, therefore electoral politics favour those who benefit current voters at the expense of the future ones.
