Attached: 1 image Given one of the tactics police, fash, and journalists use is doxxing, and given that facial recognition is on the rise where anyone can use it, learning how to prevent and recover from doxxing is quite important.

This. Never ever ever work for a toxic CEO/Company/Manager. The world needs your skills. You deserve to be proud of your work and how it is being used.
What power?
Exactly, what?
You put your piece of paper in the box.
What other power do you have?

Let me introduce you to techniques that were used in Nazi factories during WW2:
1. 'Oopsies' where metal shavings accidentally got dropped into the lubrication of manufacturing equipment.
Every hour a metal press is out of commission for repairs means fewer V2 rockets landing in London.
2. Soldiers uniforms & boots so poorly sewed they fell apart upon their first use

Tech workers have an equally infinite capacity to ...
1/2
2/2
... sabotage a company's Nazi products. Even temporary delays in the DevOp are useful.
Malicious compliance & goldbricking can take many forms.
Poison the LLM's used in Saudi-funded AI with poor data quality practices? Never met a manager who wouldn't leap at a chance to reduce costs by cutting corners on quality.
Or introduce subtle flaws in a cryptocurrency algorithm?
This attack on democracy was funded by #KochNetwork, China, Saudi Arabia, and Russia.
Payback is a b*tch.
I’ve always admired people who can successfully navigate what I refer to as “Kafka’s Castle,” a term of dread for the many government and corporate agencies that have an inordinate amount of power over our permanent records, and that seem as inscrutable and chillingly absurd as the labyrinth the character K navigates in Kafka’s last allegorical novel.

I wish I could believe this, but I don't. My experience is that the quisling tech industry is even more timid and cowardly than the journalists who "can't" close their twitter accounts.
"I't just a job", they say. I have lost close friends over this. People I thought were better.
@jwz @anildash I know you hate Microsoft a lot so I may suffer some wrath by association for this but
my last act at Microsoft was a six-month sabotage campaign against some (not very important but nonetheless complete) bullshit to keep it from shipping
i won
it never shipped and nobody picked it back up after i made it fail
sabotage campaigns work is what i'm saying and more people need to understand that maybe
@viq @jwz @anildash mostly organisational, which is pretty key.
i got other groups to say their version of this is used by no one, for example, and managed to get into a big argument about whether that was worth boosting our ram footprint by 20%. i launched an attempt to do instead a completely different approach to the thing which frankly was better and i got that process to eat a few weeks. i got another group to say they were going to implant a massively improved version that everyone would have to adopt in less than a year. (they did not do this and I was pretty confident they wouldn’t.) stuff like that.
@jwz @anildash I agree, I know people who continued to work at Facebook, who kept coming up with excuses for why the company might be doing some really evil stuff, but their particular project was a good one.
As for anti-fascism, there are a lot of immigrants working in the tech industry. Many seem to believe that they won't be targets. The illegal or low-skill immigrants will be targeted, but their skill makes them safe, especially if they keep their heads down and keep working hard.
The US citizens might be willing to voice their displeasure, but not to the extent it might cost them a cushy job.
It's not an industry I associate with having a backbone.
@anildash Fine. And where have you been for the last 8 years? There is no "rise" anymore. Fascism is there.
And what are you going to do? Destroying all the data and the infrastructure of your industry? Then quit? All of you? Because that is what is really needed.
