There's a million and one reasons why the "few bad apples" argument is BS, but I feel like there's really no excuse for it after seeing video after video of the MANY MANY bad apples being sent to mis-handle this situation right now every day.

These are not the words of a president. They are the words of a dictator.

“I am dispatching thousands of thousands of heavily armed soldiers” - a sentence I expect to hear from leaders of authoritarian countries, not the President of the United States, in reference to my own city

If you run a community Twitter account, this is a good time to:

1) Make sure you 100% know everyone who has access to it
2) Enable two-factor authentication

You do *not* want to be in the position of having to explain that your account has been taken over by racists

Not impressed by the care taken in crafting these messages. No matter how patient you may endeavor to be, it proves trying to simply accept a note like this one:

ppl out here think ethics in tech is just about using diverse illustrations on their landing page, and not whether their apps can be used as tools of the police state

The system isn't "broken"; it has been intentionally evolved over hundreds of years to continue to legally oppress, harass, and kill Black Americans without consequences. All non-Black Americans have contributed to and benefited from this oppression. #BlackLivesMatter

Things I would miss dearly from MacOS if I did this.

FCPX
Screen shots
Screen recording
The Email App
The Calendar App
iMessage

as someone who decided to switch to windows just for video editing, I agree with this list.

Except for: screen shots, there's a print screen button!

iMessage and Airdrop mean so many more hoops to get stuff from my phone to my laptop

Validate user input. Sounds simple and sensible until it gets forgotten.

One of my old security teachers had a saying: treat everything you get from the client as toxic. Assume it’s false, malicious, and unsanitary until you can prove that it is not.

seriously! It's like one of the first things you learn when developing web apps. It's an embarrassing oversight frankly.

If you are a Facebook employee organizing collective action, do not use corporate laptops, phones, or apps! This includes Work Chat, Messenger, and WhatsApp. Communication between employees is not privileged. You signed this away in your employment contract.

holy crap, that even applies to using personal devices on company property.

which I guess isn't that significant right now but still.

There are many things you can do to support a protest without the risk of the front line beyond just tweeting and donating money. Here’s a good start.

I've been getting the weirdest Twitter ads today.

Same, and some of them are from really suspicious looking Twitter accounts. I haven't clicked, but I'm wondering if the sites they promote are some sort of tracking network. Kinda want to dig into this now.
