  • But if they own it, it can’t be used as extortion/blackmail?
    Who the fuck cares that they had a dating profile with sexy pictures?!

    Edit:
    I guess it’s because he was a high profile security person that didn’t disclose a social account, and pictures from that account were released.

    Prosecutors said in the indictment that Landerholm had through negligence disclosed “information relating to conditions of a secret nature and whose disclosure to a foreign power could cause harm to Sweden’s security”.

    Oh, so the whole Grindr/gay thing doesn’t actually matter. The guy disclosed sensitive info to foreign powers.

    Further edit:
    Seems like a double whammy article…
    Hate on Sweden for seemingly forcing out a gay person.
    Hate on government person cause he used Grindr.
    Seems like the dude leaked info he shouldn’t have?







  • You are probably underestimating your abilities.
    People that worry about overestimating their skills mostly underestimate their skills.

    If someone says they are “good” at something, I take it to mean competency and some enthusiasm.
    They might make a mistake, but they won’t (or at least will rarely) make it twice.
    They know how to find the solution to something within that domain of knowledge. It might not be the best solution, but it will be a solution that works.
    They are also aware of what they don’t know in within the domain. So, they can do C++ but know they can’t do embedded programming. Or they can do C#, but know they can’t do game dev.

    And I would take them at their word for that, until they prove otherwise.
    If they are below where they claim their skill is, I would try to help them learn (unless they show no interest in improving).
    If they are above where they claim, I would tell them this.

    It’s always hard to judge our own skills.
