I said yes quite vocally when I read this. I’m not even American, but that’s how desperate I am for some good news.

Fuck’s sake, country and world; get your shit together.

Google seems to suggest they’re some sort of fintech company out of South Africa? Either way if that’s their product then I’d run a mile in the other direction, and then another just be sure.

Wait, I didn’t even realise Williams F1 was involved…

Technology has evolved at faster than we’ve been able to secure it and now we’re paying the price with enterprise and state level breaches, and global annual internet fraud at an all time high.

And not just software but physical goods too. We’ve produced without any consideration for end of product life cycle management and now we’re in a plastic crisis.

Completely different spheres of society but so similar in so many ways.

Mainly use Spotify and vinyl.

Talk about chalk and cheese…

Not recent but at one point during my uni life I was a brown international student, studying computer science, and working at a call centre as a part time job. The fact that my parents are doctors made it that much worse somehow.

Thank you for looking out for us mobile/desktop web browser peasants. ❤️

Okay

You people? The fuck do you mean you people? Were you born out the arsehole of Christ himself? Get the fuck outta here with your holier than thou self righteousness. This is a free and open public forum. Don’t like it? Fuck off elsewhere. Poop

I’m a simple man.
