What I'm seeing happen is that unis (and other affected institutions) are trying to get rid of diversity of opinion in favor of diversity of skin color/ethnicity, and... I find that reasoning nothing but racist.

Was wondering that and then told myself, come on, nobody would be that evil, the whole idea is nonsense. And you're suggesting there are websites out there that actually do that?

That follow-up tweet freaks me out. What does that have to do with anything, really. I think it's rather unprofessional and would prefer people not make self-congratulatory statements about their personal beliefs.

They've been mastering the latter for a while now; the "buggy" part. :D

Probably none, but to be blunt, not everyone is willing to put their heads into such a noose. Anything banking involves a tradeoff of some sorts, eg. whether I'd like to have my data with or out of the next Equifax-like leak...

Seriously, give me a reason to trust these things, because I rather manage with what I have instead, and so far with little trouble. With what I'd call the upside of me consuming as little as possible from the international money mobsters. I do need some hardware once in a while, and the options there really could be better.

As a "sane" person from a civilized country, I don't have an online payment account. I couldn't transmit my money to spotify even if I wanted to.

That being said, I also like owning my music. As files. On my own devices. Running "fair trade" operating systems that let me do that.

In a more extreme form, someone once compared Peppa Pig with real health services. I'm somewhat painfully reminded of the ̶w̶a̶s̶t̶e̶ ̶o̶f̶ ̶t̶i̶m̶e̶ scientific value that is this kind of content.

When I quit schools at a level that should have prepared me for "work", I left a place that had me running at full speed and flailing. Ever since I took hold in my career on my own terms, I knew that is probably the very elephant in any room I do not want to be in.

I work with a lot of OO code (ORM) that regularly contains references on objects to other objects. How would that "security model" behave wrt the map of reachable objects in relation to the object passed... let's assume by reference. I figure this scenario would be somewhat similar to the problem of "/.." paths in URLs on web servers.
