#redhat got drunk. Its Web site now promotes #micosoft crap. Again. https://opensource.com/article/18/7/powershell-tips

Mythology about #security … https://gettys.wordpress.com/2018/04/09/mythology-about-security/ "Government export controls crippled Internet security and the design of Internet protocols from the very beginning: we continue to pay the price to this day."

#Grindr shared information about users' #HIV status with third parties https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2018/apr/03/grindr-shared-information-about-users-hiv-status-with-third-parties #surveillance like this is why you should refuse to give companies data

#twitter had me #shadowbanned for 24 hours this week. I have >NO IDEA< why. I did not deserve it. They did not tell me why. We need to destroy #socialControlMedia just like we need to obliterate evil companies that spy and destroy human rights, like #uber and #facebook
