but would you rather someone who doesn’t respect privacy (e.g. a department inside the police force) does this job?
This is where the problem lies. The company does not so much do the investigations themselves, but rather provide, setup, install the tools to agencies like a police department and consults them on it. So it sounds like I would not really have any control over how these tools will be used or abused later on…
Yeah, just not sure if it’s worth giving up my current position for something that I have big concerns about…
I don’t have any experience in it. But the company I am talking about - if I understood correctly - is not exactly developing super specific forensic tools itself. Rather it bundles multiple available tools, creates some kind of “overlay” application on top of them, sells them to agencies and most of all consults them on how to use everything. The position was for a python/full stack web developer, not really in digital forensics per se, I guess that’s why
Good to know, thanks. I do think having an obvious name is important when trying to grow a community, I have never heard of woodpusher before as a term for chess, so idk. But I’ll subscribe and check it out. I agree that the number of users is pretty low, so the chance of this failing is pretty high, but just wanted to try anyway :) Also the anarchy chess community at [email protected] does have over 6k subscribers and is at least a little bit active, so there should be some users around
I simply chose feddit.org, because it is my home instance and I am very happy with how it is being maintained and taken care for (i.e. see https://feddit.org/post/25348485 or https://feddit.org/post/5050805). It is operated by a non-profit organization (https://fediverse.foundation/) and Lemmy.world already seems like the biggest instance, so in the spirit of decentralization I think it makes sense to spread the content out a little.
Not too sure about lemmy.ml, I know the political views of some of the admin are at least questionable and in general it seems quite political, which I don’t really need for a chess community
Interesting approach, but I don’t think I would fill an high enough position to really have such intel. My aspirations are not high enough for that. And as I said in another company, this company is mostly doing setup and consulting, so I doubt I would have any knowledge on how these tools would be (ab)used in the field. Also, does not sound great for mental health, to just “hope” to witness something bad and becoming a whistleblower…
