Ran past a man walking 3 pugs today. As I overtook, the pugs thought I was racing them and ran after me, which made me think I was being chased by angry pugs. It was an arms race in which everyone involved was stupid

The greatest lie ever told in work: “I just have a quick question”

How it often works is DevEx & Marketing push out some half-baked thing as a free service driving to drive adoption and generate interest. Generally there aren't many Engineering or Ops resources assigned to these things. Monitoring is next to nothing. No one even thought to consider fraud prevention measures. Many times InfoSec isn't informed at all. When a free service that allows arbitrary hosting, or arbitrary email/SMS content goes out, the first ones to adopt it are often criminals. The end result is you're playing catch-up for months to years to get the proper level of resourcing dedicated to closing the exploitable holes. No one wants to do that for a product that isn't directly generating revenue. The thing is, if you can't afford to assign resources, you should never deploy it. If it's connected to the Internet and connected to your brand, you're going to suffer reputation loss when it's abused, and it WILL be abused. Once I got a free service (temporarily) shut down because I showed our CMO how many complaints we were getting about it from people targeted by abuse. You'll have a hard time convincing random PMs or DevEx folks to limit the project they're working on for their quarterly goals/promotion opportunity. Marketing and Legal leaders will definitely care about reputation damage if you can make a strong, evidence-backed case.

Attached: 1 image My wife sent me this screenshot today from her Facebook feed. It depicts a "remember 17 years ago" flashback featuring a friend of hers. The "then" image shows his face while the "now" side is blank... Because he died a decade ago. "Technically Wrong" came out in 2017, filled with numerous accounts of similar situations. This isn't new, but tech giants still continue to roll out this kind of half baked crap with no care for how it might impact the people using their products.

My parents cut part of my dick off when I was a baby and now I tuck it between my legs voluntarily to wear certain pants and that’s a HUGE issue for them. Very normal

If the Twitter/X thing teaches you one thing, let it be this: Twitter was a neoliberal place. Then Elon Musk made it into X, a fascist place. Once again, neoliberalism laid the foundations of fascism. But that’s not the (whole) lesson… Neoliberal folks are still using X, calling it Twitter to make themselves feel better, and pining for the good old days. And there’s the real lesson: When neoliberalism turns into fascism, neoliberals will adapt to life under fascism. Right, class dismissed.

@mxbck@front-end.social 🤔 This reads like it might be a webmention.io issue that @aaronpk@aaronparecki.com is aware of: https://github.com/aaronpk/webmention.io/issues/203
