  • Yeah this happens when the wrong kind of professional reviews exposure, which happens a lot.

    Lawyers reviewing the licence terms will absolutely flag stuff that’s realistically a non-issue.

    People that do threat risk assessment, (insurance type of thing) can view FOSS and other open standards as a reduction in risk across the board, and when these kind of professionals are tendering the creation of systems they specify open APIs and access to stuff. (At least in the projects that I’ve worked on, security systems in Toronto.)

    This isn’t a hard rule, kinda a spectrum.



  • Yeah I’m going to work on the real root cause which is the culture that promotes uncaring and malicious behavior, regardless of the technology that is being used to exact that behavior.

    It’s out of touch to think that this sort of thing don’t happen with more crude tools. Are you going to play wack a mole with every new tool and platform that comes up?



  • You can’t stop this kind of behavior by scolding boys, and that’s not exactly the right way to get about it in the first place.

    Yes you fucking can, if by scolding you mean talking to them.

    Have conversations with them on how to be respectful of their peers. All their peers. Talk about things that are problems in the grades above them and tell them how it emotionally impacts people. Ask them how they feel about stuff they see it school, what they see. Frame tolerance for awful things as a moral failure.

    Expect them to be decent for fucks sake, and they probably will.
