      Cory Doctorow, seems like a really nice, important and smart fellow but has his weak moments as well :-) https://pluralistic.net/2024/02/05/cyber-dunning-kruger/#swiss-cheese-security

      it’s very likely that Cory didn’t have enough time to do research, visit the company’s Discord, and so on.

        Rule of thumb is don’t judge anyone by their discord

          when it’s listed as one of the company’s official communication channels with the owner of the company frequently participating, then I sure as hell am going to judge the company by it.

      Cory helped harass and witch hunt Naomi Wu “SexyCyborg” tech girl from China. He is a slimy fucker.

        Ugh, that’s awful, and I believe that, but it’d be great to see a link, since I’m reduced to using Kagi obv

            This is news to me… not sure why I missed it…

            I can’t find mention of Cory on that article though, maybe I misinterpreted, do you know where that is?

              Cory Doctorow seems to be shilled a lot in privacy circles in Western diaspora. I do not like it. It is ironic that this “privacy advocate” helped harm the privacy and security of a Chinese girl making it big in tech.
