I feel like "dont roll your own job application portal" should be accepted wisdom along with "dont roll your own crypto" because I havent seen a single one of these that does spam mitigation well, or at all even.

literally come on dog

job application portal initial screen, with boilerplate text (reproduced below) saying "to begin your application, submit an email" I enter "fakeemail@gmail.com" and am taken to the next page which prompts for a confirmation code sent to my email. below the window, developer tools are opening showing network requests. the request that goes out after submitting the email returns with a UUID-looking string. I copy and paste that into the confirmation code and pass successfully to the next screen

Hard and easy to believe that UC decided to flagrantly violate state law and threaten the fundamental labor right to strike over unfair labor practices, an attack against all unions, to end the strike rather than revoke suspensions and evictions for a few hundred of its brave and principled students.

Dont @ me telling me the exercise of power and the undermining of labor power is the point, bc oh baby I know.

But its striking to remind myself what exactly the UC is fighting here. They claim to be acting in the best interests of the students, but they have taken every measure to end a labor action mostly made up of students in defense of the students that were repeatedly victimized by the university.

If they granted amnesty to student protesters, I would bet ~half of the people on strike would go back to work. The people fighting for transparency and divestment all knew we wouldnt win those in this strike and the fight would go on. we were just trying to keep the pressure up to tell the university they couldnt police their way out of the demands from their students and workers.

All I can say about the UC getting an orange county judge to put a restraining order on the strike is fuck that and they just made it way worse for themselves

if I ran a ticketing system i simply wouldn't make all the submitted tickets visible to the world without login, especially when they include the new code every time someone wants to change a door code

found this old essay by ye olde rank and file vs. elected leadership in the , and i think that at least for ucla it can be said that it is different this time, and one of those ways is the increasing belief in the diversity of tactics and the ability to turn both stable modes of organizing into complementary rather than antagonistic ones, and it's my personal goal in the time i'm down here to work on the structural changes it would take to make that happen w.r.t. power sharing. an effectively structured union of 40k workers across all UCs would shake the heavens way more than it can right now, which is 'kinda surprisingly a lot but also still not as much as it should by a long shot' https://berkeleyjournal.org/2014/12/15/a-reality-check-for-social-movement-unionism/

to some degree the problems with this union can be succinctly characterized as the logical conclusion of representative electoralism, but i will hold on that until strike is over

Yall as someone who is striking and generally existing on a campus that is crawling with roughly one security guard per picketer from no fewer than 5 private security companies, if they even slightly change the laws so that private security get some form of qualified immunity or ability to use any amount of force we are totally fucked.

jonny,
@jonny@neuromatch.social avatar

I know they already effectively can use force because of, you know, how policing and the justice system work in the US. And there are armed private guards, but i mean anything resembling the ability of cops....

There are So Many and they Explicitly Belong To The Rich For Hire

jonny,

The cops have had a comparatively mild persistent presence themselves except for the first day where they immediately threatened to arrest me and a bunch of people for appreciating crosswalks next to a parking garage. They have showed up every time a conversation with a driver goes too long or we loiter around every crosswalk in some critical passageways. I think they are mostly letting private security bait encounters and waiting until they can arrest more people as examples

jonny,

We are being scrupulously disciplined with the private security guards ofc

Today the private security at were getting a little frisky on the picket lines and I think bought UC a few shiny new ULPs and lawsuits. They are increasingly using their bikes as weapons and barriers to legally protected crosswalk appreciation, and literally directed a truck to run me over in the crosswalk. They forget that they are just regular guys
