  • It’s shocking.

    Whenever we work with a 3rd party vendor and run through the efforts to harden the systems, they freak out because it always breaks their app. Then we go through the whole handholding process of getting their apps to work within our hardened environment. It ends with them not taking anything into account. App works, system is hardened. Then when it’s time to update the system, they get involved and it’s always back to square one.

    Like get the fuck on board with security if you are selling a software product. It’s mind boggling thinking about how all their other customers just let them away with such exposed shitty communication and unencrypted passwords.



  • I’ve always just enjoyed having drinks with Lenny regardless of the social media apps I used. He is a pretty good guy, doesn’t judge much which is great for conversations.

    Funny enough, while having a few duffs with Lenny, we got to discussing reddits recent changes to 3rd party APIs and we both agreed it was going to be a bad discision long term. So Lenny started talking about Lemmy, and said I should check it out. I did once my reddit 3rd party app didn’t work. So it was actually Lenny that converted me to Lemmy. He’s a swell guy.









  • Exactly my scenario. They really fucked the chicken up with the move to charge for API access.

    It’s amazing how history always finds a way of repeating itself. The ignorance to not acknowledge what happened to digg, and what sent so many to deadit is laughable. I would be very interested to see what traffic looks like now to reddit, and how much of it is coming from their app, which I think they said they will start charging a monthly subscription fee for. That CEO should have the cheese touch after that debacle.
