  • YouTube’s attempts at blocking Adblockers are pathetic

    I’ve long maintained that the majority of programmers working for Alphabet/Google/YouTube spent more time learning how to get the job than how to do the job well. There is a lot more to coding than “Cracking the Coding Interview.”

    It’s not about building cool things over there. Is has not been that way for a long time. They just want the money and reputation.

















  • I think it is a combination of bootlickers and a few cops. I don’t think it is to goad anyone into doing anything. They don’t want people to actually attack them. I think they are trying to get people to say certain things that would be criminal so they can arrest them before they attack.

    So be careful with your words. Instead of saying “I am going to kill the baton rouge police chief,” say “I am going to effect change” or something along those lines.

    At the same time watch for those that are trying to goad you into typing something they can take action on.

    The hosts of fediverse instances DO NOT have the resources to fight government subpoenas over what you say.
