FACT: you are not smart enough to not use two-factor authentication on your primary email.

FACT: you are not smart enough to not use two-factor authentication on your primary email.

If you are targeted by a spear-phishing operation, you will fail.

If you lose control of your primary email address, you will also lose control (via lost password recovery) of all your online accounts and probably of your phone and other devices as well.

You don’t need to be famous or important to be a target of a spear-phishing operation. Thanks to countless data leaks over the past decade, your identity has already been leaked to hackers. It’s not a question of if but when.

Use two-factor authentication.

One of the benefits of making websites accessible is that you learn in the process how to actually use HTML.

One of the benefits of making websites accessible is that you learn in the process how to actually use HTML.

Clean HTML is generally accessible HTML.

Web developers generally need to go out of their way to fuck that up and yet they still manage to do it. almost. every. single. time.

Reasons tend to range incompetence to malevolence but it’s actually not that hard and literally millions of people will be grateful for it.

Developers really should try harder at learning their craft.

Things that happen in Silicon Valley and also the Soviet Union:

– waiting years to receive a car you ordered, to find that it’s of poor workmanship and quality

– promises of colonizing the solar system while you toil in drudgery day in, day out

– living five adults to a two room apartment

– being told you are constructing utopia while the system crumbles around you

– ‘totally not illegal taxi’ taxis by private citizens moonlighting to make ends meet

– everything slaved to the needs of the military-industrial complex

– mandatory workplace political education

– productivity largely falsified to satisfy appearance of sponsoring elites

– deviation from mainstream narrative carries heavy social and political consequences

– networked computers exist but they’re really bad

– Henry Kissinger visits sometimes for some reason

– elite power struggles result in massive collateral damage, sometimes purges

– failures are bizarrely upheld as triumphs

– otherwise extremely intelligent people just turning the crank because it’s the only way to get ahead

– the plight of the working class is discussed mainly by people who do no work

– the United States as a whole is depicted as evil by default

– the currency most people are talking about is fake and worthless

– the economy is centrally planned, using opaque algorithms not fully understood by their users
