The web is broken, IMHO

So there is a (IMHO) shady market out there that gives app developers on iOS, Android, MacOS and Windows money for including a library that sells users network bandwidth. Infatica [1] is just one example, there are many more.

I am 99% sure that these companies cause what effectively are DDoS attacks that many webmasters have to deal with since months. This business model should simply not exist. Apple, Microsoft and Google should act.

"if being trans to you is having a follower count to abuse other trans people, maybe you deserve to stay on 4chan"

I just debugged some code by realizing my cat had inserted some text in one of the lines. So I decatted the code.

re: anti-autism stuff 

@elilla definitely the same origin to the term, just filtered through typical usian ableism towards autistic people, and intersections with other conspiracy theories beliefs that are commonly held.

anti-autism stuff 

@elilla the "starseed child" thing is very much alive and well with antivaxxers and other conspiracy people who believe in established alien contact in the United States. I come across it regularly when looking for YTP video editing source material. It has extremely ableist connotations as it is a label conspiratorially minded ET-believer moms will label their autistic kids with instead of being helpful or understanding. To the extent that people on here might find mentioning it a traumatizing thing.

The US and UK tracking and arresting people for political speech is a reminder that even if you're doing nothing wrong, privacy is important

uspol, cynical anarchist viewpoint 

Democrats maintained the camps for two presidencies after :gwbush: no questions asked, gave cops bonuses when they rioted and killed, and emboldened the DHS and post-9/11 "national security apparatus".

They are already coaching people over how they just need one more go at giving a fuck about other human beings. As an anarchist I can't say I buy it when the praxis has been lacking the whole time. Maybe they are scared of being called anarchists and communists for opposing white people's racial purges, roundups, and lynchings over the past two decades? So terrible, better do nothing and expect power to return as an inevitability of the damage which won't be repaired.

question for other computer touching educators:

if I have a student who has a project concept that’s way out of their league in terms of required programming skillset, but the student is insistent on doing the project NOW rather than revisiting it later after some time spent skilling up, what are some strategies for assisting the student with their process (while avoiding doing the work for them) and helping them navigate the inevitable crunch-fallout toward the end of the semester?
