I thought they were looking down on the owners of reddit, not the user base.

How is this relevant to anything I said? We aren’t even talking about a dating app here.

I realize the “guy code” is one of silence. Cheating? Bros won’t say anything or warn anyone, by this code. In fact, the opposite is demanded by that code. Woman do the opposite, that is how the woman code works.

I was not aware of this! I’ll have to consult my bro handbook.

The anger here, from you, is 100% expected, but the ordinary nature of that anger doesn’t make women wrong for exposing safety concerns in the dating pool.

What anger I have is directed towards the shitty website that didn’t protect their users’ very private data, and I assume that’s where yours is, too. (And, of course, 4chan, but fuck 4chan all day, every day.)

I don’t know anything about your “guy code”. I don’t view other men as my allies just because we share a gender, and I don’t view women as adversaries just because they have a different gender. I try to treat everybody the same regardless of gender. I’m not perfect, of course, since I grew up in the same fucked-up patriarchy as everybody else, but I do my best.

You seem to have very black-and-white thinking.

Cheating should be exposed, always.

I’m actually neutral on this statement. I haven’t had this experience, but if I knew that a friend was being cheated on, I think that the appropriate thing to do would be to inform them. If both the cheater and the cheatee were my friends, that would make things harder, and I would have a dilemma. If my friend is the cheater and I’m not friends with the cheatee, then I’m minding my own business. Again, though, I haven’t had this experience, so it’s hard to say what I would do for sure.

How strange that a site designed exactly like reddit behaves like reddit.

Anybody oblivious enough to create something like this isn’t someone you should trust your most private data with. This service had red flags from the concept phase, never mind the execution.

This is not to say, of course, that the victims deserved it. It just really sucks that they had to learn this lesson this way.

What does the name have to do with doxing? I know “tea” is slang for “gossip”, but gossip ain’t doxing.

Yeah, naming it “Tea” is really the cherry on top. I’d love to know more about the people behind this. It’s hard to believe that anybody would be this oblivious. I guess the same kind of people who wouldn’t secure their database.

Why not address them directly?

It’s suspect and dangerous due to its design, not the fact that it’s used by women. If there were an app where employers could rate their employees, it would have the same problems and I’d feel the same way about it.

It isn’t the women who are wrong; it’s the app developer and 4chan. But setting aside the data breach, creating a Yelp for dating is a ticking time bomb. They were going to get sued out the ass, data breach or no data breach. I don’t know how many times this needs to happen, but I guess web developers have the memory of goldfish. There have been several attempts at something similar that got shut down for the obvious reasons. Making a website that rates human beings is always going to be a legal minefield.

You might want to refer to the left parenthesis or the right parenthesis and then it would be incorrect to use the plural.

It was a trivial change to some documentation. The fact that he chose this hill to die on says a lot.

Parenthesis is singular, parentheses is plural. One parenthesis, two parentheses. Like crisis/crises, axis/axes.

This article appears to be pretty even-handed.

My assessment? Get fucked, Ladybird. I don’t want to trust my web security to people who think like this, especially since web security is very political and will only become more so as the Trump administration continues.

Filesharing isn’t piracy. It’s filesharing.

Piracy is when you attack a ship and steal its cargo.

But, of course, it was difficult for the RIAA to have a war on sharing, so they had to use a different term with sinister connotations and implant it into the public consciousness.

And it worked! You never hear anybody talk about “filesharing” anymore.

Why would it be a threat to the entertainment industry? I thought they were all excited about being able to cut costs with AI.

It’s actually much worse than that.

AI will reinforce delusional thinking. This is definitely not good.

When you share with Facebook, you share with Trump.
