So I went to Google Office today wearing my devducktie 🤓🦆

in zurich google programmers also code while they take a shit. 😄

you work at google?

@calmyourtities unfortunately not...yet. I was visiting a workshop. 😋

@heyheni that's what we call being productive!!

Just very COOL !!!

cool!
Personally I'd never want to work for google.

@PonySlaystation why don't you want to work for Google?

@wiyzard I heard that there is a lot of pressure and I also hate Google for working together with the NSA (see PRISM) and being a data miner of doom.

@PonySlaystation what companies would you rather recommend as a work place for devs? There is always pros and cons.

@wiyzard I can't really say. It depends on what technologies and platforms you want to work and develop on, where you live, what you like, how much you want to earn etc.

@PonySlaystation This. They always say that they genuinely care about their customers' privacy/security. Security - fair enough, they have very good security practices but privacy - fuck off.

If you work together with the biggest spy agency in the world which in this case makes that you sell out literally all your clients/customers, then fuck you.

I'd, no kidding, rather live on the streets than work for google.

@linuxxx Absofuckinglutely!

@linuxxx well, on which data source do you build your argument upon? 🤔

2013 Snowden leaks.

@wiyzard Tbh, it's not really secret information, it's widely known by now :)

@linuxxx thanks for sharing 😁

@linuxxx now I have another question. How does cyber security works without collecting data and evaluate by an authority? 🤔

@wiyzard What part of cyber security? It's a veeeeery broad thing :)

@wiyzard You should have brought something related to DuckDuckGo (other than the tie)

@linuxxx cyber security in general. What parts are in cyber security?

@wiyzard Difference between offensive and defensive security, the specific type (network, operating system, web app and so on), stuff like that :)

@linuxxx how about defensive cyber security in a network? How does that work? You seem to be a professional in that area.

@wiyzard Professional is a big word haha. I know quite some stuff relating to both offensive and defensive cyber security.

Yes you'll need to collect data in order to stay secure but you can limit it to a lot, depending on the applications you use.
