He spent the next 30 MINUTES arguing with the interviewers (they were at lunch), and was *barred from re-entering the building* when they drove back. The whole of senior management freaked the fuck out and created a policy THAT DAY on how to handle an employee bringing in unauthorized code. (It's a MASSIVE copyright lawsuit risk if the company ships that in product!)

This level of WAT reminds me of the stupidest interview candidate I've ever seen.

Interviewer: "You've mentioned for most of the interviews that you have libraries that can handle this or that. What'll you do once you don't have access to them any longer?"

Interviewee: "Oh, I was just going to bring them with!"

Interviewer, momentarily confused and speechless: "Like just make an unauthorized copy on a USB stick or something!?!"

Interviewee: "Yeah, exactly!"

@mawr I love you too, Mawr. :P <3

@mawr Like, if you saw me, you'd think I was totally trashed or psychotic. XD

@mawr I am laughing so hard my FACE HURTS. XD

@mawr This is SUCH A BAD IDEA. XD D: *brain melts into goo*

@mawr Like... What the fuck??? XD

Stole this from here, but I HAD to share this. I don't even know how to respond to this. XD https://twitter.com/pasiphae_goals/status/886689938300973057 https://awoo.space/media/RQOfZ7YZAXefJcmpPO8

@Felthry *several gentle hugs* <3

As much as I hate the privacy problems, I have to say the 500 character limit is REALLY nice. O.o; I think it's just big enough for really meaningful conversation.

Little more work on #myarchive today. Mostly the same import functions (listed below), but everything has a sane metadata recovery strategy now... At the moment it's just a python script, libraries, and sqlite DB, but hopefully I'll figure out how to slap a UI on it in the future.

Working:
1. Local folders/files
2. Twitter
3. DeviantArt
4. Shotwell databases

Next Up:
1. Dreamwidth/LiveJournal (partially complete)
2. Mastodon
3. Reddit

@mawr @KawaSeadrake That's good news. It's a major factor in preventing me from using this site as much as I would otherwise.

@mawr Oh man, I know those feels. I can't even begin to describe how much not being able to trust your own feelings and memories hurts. >.< *hugs tight* Zoe's helping me, but it's a long goddamned road to go down. Definitely the core of GAD as far as I'm concerned.

@KawaSeadrake I wouldn't short-sell them *that* much, but obviously it's a concern.

@KawaSeadrake (And obviously we have this problem with twitter, but they have a lot of cash, folks, and infrastructure dedicated to keeping stuff pretty secure.)
