    Easy. I don't sit at a computer all day. Personally, I find I'm a better coder when I get up and move around on a regular basis. I'll work for an hour or two, then go for a walk. C…

    Try again. It's more like, "hey baby, I want to rape you while you're sleeping then fuck you in the ass while you cry ... fucking bitch, why don't you want it?" That's not a direct…

    Speaking as an lady old fart on the Internet, it wasn't nearly this bad 15, 20 years ago. I've spent literally decades in some of these Internet communities, and the level of disre…

    Speaking as someone who's on the spectrum, just because one is autistic doesn't automatically make them toxic - nor does being toxic automatically make one autistic. This is a real…

    Maybe it's just me, but I see the biggest problem in implementing a 2FA policy is the friction of the process. Using a password manager isn't as easy as remembering a single passwo…

    Free speech is a concept of government. Reddit is a for-proft corporation. It's not censorship, it's a business refining its model. Joke's on you that you thought reddit was anythi…

    It's a neat concept, but your privacy policy is going to kill you. It's incredibly boilerplate and vague, with no information about how you actually use the data. If you want secur…

    They started picking and choosing which parts of AppData they backed up, but never informed their users and kept on claiming they backed up "everything." See, the backup app used t…

    Fair warning: Backblaze has a habit of making major changes silently (without any indication to the user), and their customer support is TERRIBLE. I was a customer for several year…

    > Many SV startups display a website with 50% women programmers... all of them cute and young. We know very well they're not here to attract more women to programming. Really ? Are…

    This is an incredibly misleading title on two studies that has been repeatedly misreported as confirming the absence of gluten sensitivity. In fact, if you get away from the junk s…

    Lady hacker here. Bring it. We'll see who pwns who. (Also, thank you for proving a point in an amazingly effective fashion - as if "college degree holding males" are the only peopl…

    I'm probably going to get the shit flamed out of me for being a woman daring to comment in a thread about feminism, but fuck it. Maybe the Internet might surprise me. I'm one of th…
