This weekend, talking to a guy who does IT at a Dutch bank.
Me: So everything runs on Azure or AWS these days?
He: Yes
Me: So they can see all the data.
He: No it's on separate servers, on EU soil. That was a thing before we decided to go ahead with this.
Me: So... They can see all the data.
He: No it's encrypted and threw some acronyms at me.
Me: So, you download the data, decrypt it, and work on it?
He: No that's done on the servers.
Me: So... They can see all the data.
@pixelate @Blobsta @Pawpower @Fragglemuppet Just don't get to the embarrassing point I did in college. Toward the end of my senior year, because I ordered so much it went like this.
Me: I'd like to place an order.
CS Rep: Is your address, (insert address and residence hall here?)
Me: Yes.
CS rep: And you want the thing crust with pepperoni?
Me: Yes.
CS Rep: (insert price here.) It'll be there in 20 minutes.
Me: Thank you.
And that was the call.
> Talking about suicide
> This is a hard topic to talk about, because some people listening have experienced this.
Me: :pepeLaugh3: somehow, I don''t believe you
I keep having a specific kind of exchange about this mastodon/bluesky thing. It goes something like this.
Me: I have a bunch of concerns around what actions people are taking if they care about their privacy on here. Yelling at one guy is not sufficient.
Them: Of course he's wrong! You must be saying you don't care about privacy at all!
It's pretty frustrating.
Me, 2019, building LLVM: This is AWFUL. NOTHING could ever be worse than this.
Me, 2023: Oh no
