Conflicted! Cory Doctorow just endorsed it & I’m way less smart than that person so i usually do what they say :\
Cory Doctorow, seems like a really nice, important and smart fellow but has his weak moments as well :-) https://pluralistic.net/2024/02/05/cyber-dunning-kruger/#swiss-cheese-security
Ugh, that’s awful, and I believe that, but it’d be great to see a link, since I’m reduced to using Kagi obv
This is news to me.. not sure why I missed it..
I can't find mention of Cory on that article though, maybe I misinterpreted, do you know where that is?
thank you!! for real. if I’m semi-blindly following someone & they’re a fkg monster I appreciate knowing that I need to not follow them & in fact do the opposite
it's very likely that Cory didn't have enough time to do research, visit the company's Discord, and so on.
Rule of thumb is don't judge anyone by their discord
when it's listed as one of the company's official communication channels with the owner of the company frequently participating, then I sure as hell am going to judge the company by it.
