@jk You’re absolutely 100% correct about this. The web is a great hypertext browsing system but a *terrible* application platform. All web “apps” live right at the bottom of the uncanny valley of software UIs, who knows what this button will do when I click it or what invisible and unnecessarily asynchronous process will be kicked off before it responds. It’s terrible and what baffles me is *nobody seems to care*. Nobody under the age of forty even remembers anything different!

@drbjork @pettter @goatsarah I think this is something about making themselves the smallest possible target for attack by the other mainstream parties.

@emilygorcenski That presents a simple solution for SO I would think.

@njsg @emilygorcenski Simply stripping the names from the contributions, if the names are the only PII in most cases.

@emilygorcenski Is an SO contribution necessarily “personal data”?

@clacke @ZachWeinersmith Oh yeah. Some of youse can say “all ‘a youse” but all ‘a youse can just say “youse” if ya like.

@ZachWeinersmith I’m not sure I agree with youse that y’all won 😛
