Oh I see the absurdly, negligently insecure Tea app is now getting the "hackers hacked" treatment, so that it can comfortably deflect blame to some unspecified scary hackers?

Cool, cool.

*takes out a bullhorn*

📢 Tea kept drivers license photos of thousands of women in an unprotected Google Firebase storage bucket.

📢 Centering "hackers" means helping let those responsible for the horrendous negligence at Tea off the hook.

👏 There is no "hack", only other people's negligence.

Ah yes, the good old "why are you hitting yourself, stop hitting yourself" bully tactic.

Looking forward to when we see Google Bard and Microsoft Bing and ChatGPT the way we today see the "Azure NFT (Non-fungible Token) Solution Accelerator":

Which we will, hopefully sooner rather than later.

If you need to "clarify" your ToS in a blog-post, your ToS are shit and need to be re-written.

I don't give a crap about your blogpost. If it's not in the ToS, it's not binding.

If you think I should understand your ToS in a specific way, great, there exists a perfect place to put that clarification in: your ToS.

And if you think your ToS are getting too long? Well that is hardly my fault, now is it.

I don't know who needs to hear this, but:

Ok, look: I know it feels bad being "accused" of #mansplaining. I know that most of the time we're "just trying to be helpful." I've been on both sides of this.

Here's the thing — if the person you're trying to be helpful to tells you that you are not being helpful, that's that. Accept it, apologize, and move on. 👈

Trying to "explain" and "clarify" will only make you look more like a jerk. Just don't. ✋

Instead, you can go and (re)read this stellar piece of advice:

nostr:npub12tyk735v52ju032qahe3k2r520jlsujaem6xr8n0ex6u7eqj0anq59vnqc fedi admins meeting with Meta under NDAs is shit, that's what it is.

It's effectively giving Meta power over fedi, by giving Meta power over what fedi admins can and cannot share with their communities.

Which admins went, do you know?
