    JackbyDev had recently been laid off. He sat in his chair downstairs wasting time on Lemmy before going to bed. He’d recently finished his Duolingo for the day and was on track for the month’s badge, even if he was warning it on the last day. Tomorrow, that’s when he’d get it. He was tired and needed to go to bed but his eyes remained glued to the screen. A gratuitously over detailed article about a child porn bust following 9/11 that Aaron Schwartz had linked to while seemingly defending child porn drew him in. JackbyDev didn’t want to get into the nitty gritty details. He’s aware that folks (rightfully) tend to view folks even seemingly defending child porn as pedophiles themselves. He didn’t care to comment on the discussion but the article really pulled him in. Why did they feel the need to mention that the accused played Doom II? “They may as well have put his entire CV in the article!” he thought to himself. Job hunts were clearly on JackbyDev’s mind.
