Gratefully observed. Thank you for the evolving guideline rules clarification Henry. I’m really glad this came up! I actually am being considered for second interview for retainer, by a very well known, 10 year established, rather strongly respected service, in the rising cyber privacy industry.
If it were to move forward, and I accepted, I actually had thought I would be better to reach out to Jonah or you to visit about the following. Like, if or how would I change my user profile (if at all, and I would think its best not) to reflect that retainer or how I would best speak/write in the forum in accordance with Techlore rules going forward, in order to not provoke against the true spirit of Techlore mission, but rather advance it, etc. But that bridge is not here now. Its hypothetical at this time. No need to exercise futility. My instinct tells me, plus my opsec compartmentalization that I’ve learned over the years, that “if there’s no data, there’s no privacy need”… or “the best way to have privacy, is not create an undue need for it”…
However, in observant respect for Techlore, and the debt of gratitude I personally have for being mentored out of my prior degree of a rather nasty privacy comprised life since 2020. As well as the ethic and service of folks like Henry and the Techlore community (as well as my witnessing all the dynamics unfold into its current form): I, for one, carry that kind of respect as to “where i came from” on my privacy journey.
Not flattery here, nor a “good ol boy” ism. No. Or a phony guise of pay it forwardism lip service w/ a snarky doublespoke: “don’t be evil” retired moniker intent waitin to infiltrate, mutize, commandeer, etc. No. This is just the way my respects have ended up happening. Besides, its my estimations, in most probable scenarios from the way I’ve grown and learn to enjoy Techlore’s forum transitions, that any tactics of mutineers, infiltrators, disinformers, honey potters… would likely just end up contributing further to advancing privacy evolutions , if not merely by thier own example they would make out of themselves … just my observable 2 cents…
