Thanks to "internet of things" companies that prioritized profits over consumer privacy and the safety of the internet, we're now facing a security and privacy dumpster fire that many experts believe will, sooner or later, result in even bigger security and privacy headaches than we're seeing today. Contains 23% of the daily requirement of WTF?! and 50% of 'you're kidding'?

Thanks to the internet of things?
As if the big ones were not already doing a good job against privacy and security without IoT.

Microsoft’s explanation of Project Reunion was not clear to many developers. Developers had doubts about whether Project Reunion is an application model like UWP or is it a new packaging or isolation model. "Come together right now"

The big question is... which developers needed the explanation?
Seeing how things go lately in M$ I think it could be the internal ones

That, to me, looks like a survey of JetBrains users, with statistics one may expect from such a survey.

That 93.4% of the statistics are made up and the other 60% are not to be trusted?

Open source is a great way for a developer to build her personal brand--it turns out it's good for employers, too. So make sure you have your best Salvador Dali moustache on when you submit a pull request
meh. I've done better. I obviously need to do more work on open source to get more creative.

Since the release of the Windows 10 1903/1909 KB4535996 and Windows 10 2004 KB4557957 cumulative updates, Windows users have been reporting that they receive errors that programs are missing when they attempt to launch them. Sadly, Windows Update not one of the affected programs

Over the past few months, a new wave of bitcoin ransom scam has been reported which targets website owners by claiming their sites to be hacked and asking 1500 – 3000 USD worth of bitcoins. Hackers too lazy to even bother hacking the site before asking for money? Where is the world going to?

They are not hackers, they are scammers... Hackers do the job and say noone, since they got more profit about secretism and screwing you up or using you to bring them to another better place than blackmailing you.

GitHub getting on board legitimizes movement aimed at removing racially-charged language from software. However, their second choice of 'slaveowner' may not be much better.

If the word "master" makes you think of slavery that happened over 100 years ago (i.e. no one alive now was alive then) the problem may be you...
Is this something that seriously offends black people or is this just some white people trying to overcompensate?
Personally, I think the word "black" (as in a person) is way more racist because these people aren't even black!
They're various shades of brown, but maybe I'm not allowed to say that because it's racist, I don't know.
At this point, "inclusivity" doesn't even make sense anymore.

What if my connotation of "master" in the sense of code branches was that of Sensei?

Oh good grief. Soon language will be like this:
In the biased view of the individual who has commonality to all of the human species but not implying superiority to other life forms such as animals and trees, because all individual views are biased as not being shared necessarily by the common (not to imply ordinary) group, the replacement of words (which are recognized by many [not to imply superiority]) as being biased in their multiple meanings (which are not known to everyone, again not to imply inferiority or superiority) is, (warning, emotive statement follows, reader discretion is advised) absurd.

Bugger!
Now then, where did I leave those carbon-arc lamps?
