using the famous inside you three are two wolves template.
the headline says, “inside you there are two wolves”
the text on top of black wolf reads, “tell her the importance of libre software, and how I use services”, while on top of white wolf the text reads, “don’t reveal too much information. she might be a CIA glowie”
She’s def a glowie
Just what services do you use that are of interest to three letter agencies? They really aren’t interested in tracking down furry-porn browsing habits through TOR and I2P
So every corporation on the planet is full of suspects for the crime of employing system admins then. Well, good luck to them
What’s a glowie
The term was coined by computer programmer Terry A. Davis, who allegedly believed that the CIA was stalking and harassing him. “Glowie” is often used in online forums to refer to government agents, especially undercover operatives who infiltrate online far-right spaces.
“Glow in the dark” and its derivative terms have been used to refer to various groups: newcomers that do not fit in with the culture of certain forums and are thus suspected to have bad intentions, journalists who report on extremist groups, tech companies that collect users’ personal data, and others.
Rest in peace Terry, you crazy diamond!
Etymology
From glow + -ie. Originated by Terry Davis, who stated in a 2017 video that “CIA n####rs glow in the dark”, implying that they are conspicuous. The term “glowie” would become popular on the 4chan /pol/ board around 2019.at this point it’s basically a racist dog whistle…
it’s not a ‘racist dog whistle’ now, or at least that wasn’t my intention. it’s another word for three-letter agencies or sometimes even bigtech.
just because it’s not your intention doesn’t change where it comes from and with whom it’s typically popular…
My eyes sheds a little tear seeing Terryisms live on in the lingos of the tech savvies.
The wolves inside of me are now kissing 😳
