The developer is not being named as a police report was not filed. So we also do not know the apps.

I would hate to be his child.

What a coward, only spouting death-threat rhetoric on point-to-point lines and not in public. Presumably he understands that his opinions are vile, and understands that the public would thrash him until he can no longer hold those opinions, but doesn't understand that this means that his attitude needs to be adjusted.

techies are usually pampered reactionaries so this fits

What a strange generalization that hasn't been my experience at all working in tech for the last few years lol

the boy was trying to seem edgy. It's totally okay to ignore him.

you both have really fucking annoying post histories so I’m gonna assume rushing into a thread about abuse directed towards LGBTQ folks to defend fucking technofascists of all people isn’t a coincidence and make you both fuck off of this instance

Easy there big guy. If you could read you might have noticed Steeve was actually saying that techies are generally chill, and the one guy in particular who harasses hotlines is a weirdo

Here, though, was someone who had a name and an active social media presence, whose LinkedIn resume was expansive, whose listed address is a multimillion-dollar home near Golden Gate Park. On Facebook he carped about San Francisco politics and pride-posted about his daughter.

There's just enough information here that it'd be fun to try and guess who it is

I can never resist tracking down crazy people because sometimes it's just a goldmine of weirdness. I saw someone on Reddit who was censoring her dog's genitals, and when people made fun of her she accused them all of being pedophiles. It turns out she's Robert Mercer's granddaughter and probably works at Cambridge Analytica's successor, which is apparently either the easiest $120k paycheck ever or a $160k living hell full of long hours and crunch (unclear which).

This is one of my favorite things, as well. Hopefully someone can find him. Do you have a link to the Mercer's Reddit account, that sounds hilarious.

If you want a weird internet rabbithole to go down, look up the guy who is running for president in Alaska and check out his social media.

They deleted their account, but it was here: /u/confessionsftheburbs. I think if you moderate a subreddit you could look through the Pushshift database to see what they posted. Someone on SubredditDrama (where this first popped up) has an open offer to do that for anything fun that was deleted, but I don't remember their name.

I know I screenshotted all the crazy stuff but I have no idea which month they were from, sadly. I checked the past couple months and May. The Internet Archive has a post saved of her from May where she says her husband (boyfriend at the time; they needed Robert Mercer's approval to get married) earns $500k/year. She talks a lot about expensive gemstones and rings, how taxes are unfair, utterly unhinged antisemitic antivax conspiracy theories that equate to "we need to kill the Marxists before they exterminate White people", and of course dogs with censored giblets. I have no idea what her husband does, but he's a white supremacist with lots of Blue Lives Matter insignia that she met on Hinged.

Robert Mercer is apparently big on computer science in the family, and she was strongly encouraged to study it. She often tells people to consider a CS degree to earn more money and start businesses like her husband. She says that, but she mentioned a job that was so easy she barely had to do anything and I wonder if that was the $120k/year position at the rebranded Cambridge Analytica. It's a little annoying to tell people "just get into software engineering!" when your grandfather paid $40k for your house and gave you a cushioned job at the family business. Ugh

I only learned it was her because she said she just donated money to a Gofundme, and I was kind of curious whose name was on the donation.
