Like, that's amazing enough that I'm going to show my therapist. <3
This is so beautiful. >.< Serious and beautiful discussion of trauma in a video game, where the game (and the discussion) actually gets it right.

And *no,* he left still not comprehending why this was a problem. D:
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!"

@zetasyanthis This is an art piece. It belongs in a museum to be preserved for all time as the most beautiful example of what NOT TO EVER DO, EVER. XD
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
Re-posting as public to get some more ideas: 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.)

@KawaSeadrake Like, there are ways to do it, but Mastodon wasn't designed that way. I *think* you could have the poster's instance sign the post/files with the remote user's public key, but the user's private key would have to be stored in a client application or something. No good if the remote instance has access to the key, because a leak is likely to contain both (to say nothing of a malicious admin).

@KawaSeadrake Not ideal is a good way of putting it. XD It's a hard problem though, because how else does someone on another instance see what you post here?

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
Anger, Politics
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?
