The Mind Of OverlordTomala

Police identified the intruder as an 18-year-old University of Georgia student because she left her Facebook page on the computer’s screen in her haste to leave the home.

The 33-year-old resident was upset over the intrusion, but even more distraught because the unwanted visitor urinated on her couch, police said.

Sure, the GPS on your phone or dedicated device can get you from Point A to Point B on the interstate, frustrating “Calibrating … calibrating …” moments aside.

But a new move in mobile tech is seeing startups who want to help you find the store you’re looking for in the mall, turn around when you’re getting farther from your terminal at the airport or figure out where your friends are in an expansive convention hall.

At least it appears that’s what happened with PyCon this week when a sexual joke led to some very public firings, a virulent debate about women in technology, another virulent debate about public shaming, and now, a DDOS attack.

In the short of it, someone made a sexual joke about dongles and forking repos. She took offense to it and publicly shamed them. If it were me I probably would have just said “Giggity”. Of course she has the right to feel the way she does about it.

Of course quite a few companies today that have a policy that makes it easy for people to get fired for saying something off duty that a customer doesn’t like. My company is one of those. I can understand if someone got fired for being say…. racist? Murdering someone maybe? But a fucking dongle joke? Who hasn’t made one of those?
