Obviously, properly licensed open-source code is different, but holy fucking shit was that not the case here.

(My office-mate was at the lunch interview, hence me hearing the story. He came back looking like he'd seen into the abyss. XD I only saw the candidate walking sadly to his rental car through the window.)

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!"

This... this is totally real. WHAT THE FUCK???

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

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

Question for folks who care about account separation for AD accounts... How do you manage that here? Or do you leave your AD on twitter? (I ask because the Mastodon replication protocols means that every post is effectively public.)

CEO responds positively to mental health days. Can we have more like this, please? <3 http://www.cnn.com/2017/07/12/health/mental-health-response-from-company-ceo-trnd/index.html

My anger is slowly simmering down, but I am /seriously/ angry. [Why] The fuck do they get off not seeing the real world and judging us for not following their fucking rules?

Like, if there are people who *specifically want to kill me*, what the fuck am I doing playing nice instead of tearing their world down around them?

(Originally a series of tweets that I want to expand on here.)

Listened to Faint by Linkin Park the whole way home. Think I'm done with this shit.

I am very, very angry.

If I am going to be treated like an existential threat, perhaps I had better start acting like one.

And just to be clear, I don't mean that in terms of violence towards anybody. I mean that in terms of systematic destruction of *systems*.
