I'm not putting more than one egg in the Proton basket at any given moment. Security by obscurity is still a tried and true principle. Despite the politics, we are still tumbling toward a post encryption world whether we like it not

I am utterly offended by the term "neurospicy". It is reductive and doesn't benefit anyone except neurotypicals trying gaslight everyone for their bad behavior.

This is brilliant @navneetalang https://thewalrus.ca/ai-hype/

Russia is banned this year

What are we feeling about Firefox, the privacy browser? https://www.reddit.com/r/firefox/s/Ut3Y01yWk9

Http needs a status code for grudging acceptance. We have 202 Accepted. We need 222 Tolerated.

For when the client is doing it wrong, but you've decided to be the bigger person and deal with it anyway.

The fact that there is some raccoon paradise ranch somewhere is fulfilling. Piles of trash as far as the eye can see, no angry humans containing it in difficult to open receptacles, just bliss and a yearly sheering.

Ignorance, how I long for it. I was unfortunately bequeathed 3 entire brain cells.

Wild, true story from the security awareness and training company KnowBe4 that details how they inadvertently hired a North Korean hacker who was posing as a Western tech worker.

Kudos to them for publishing this. If it can happen to a security awareness company, it can happen to anyone (full disclosure: they've been an advertiser on my site for ages).

You assume NASA has a budget to hire someone to champion this and didn't just hire some employees' kids to host the videos for free on the social medias.

If it makes you feel better there are completely absent moderators like myself that avoid all responsibility to moderate at all cost but still somehow have been bestowed mod power, and are sensible people.

@jerry Fine if you didnt use their stupid OTP token feature. Manually managed tokens not leaked.

I'm feeling the 80s computer right now. How nice to just forget ...

I am so thankful that I get to be in my own head. Other people are sometimes exhausting.

Troubleshooting is a skill. I don't know how exactly it can be taught, but we should absolutely be teaching it.

I have never used a scissor lift in my life prior to this point but I know enough about machines now to realize something is wrong. And with an error code, the machine will tell you what's wrong.

It's up to you to connect these things together - and that's honestly a guiding light in my work.

Microsoft's Recall should be celebrated as the saviour of SMEs and scourge of CEOs

Small businesses have seldom had the chance to understand how they work. A history of PC use makes it possible Column  A year and a half into the explosion of AI fueled by ChatGPT, the hype and fear of missing out has begun to thin just enough to make out the shape of two starkly different visions for A…

@beka_valentine This is intensely fascinating.

@JustOneMoreThing People underestimate how much a snake sucks. They have fangs, they are slimy, they harbour diseases easily, they also legitimately hate dark. Spiders are fuzzy, are arguably much smarter than snakes, have only tiny bitey things, generally like to hide unless provoked, are definitely more polite than the snake.

Thank you for staying. Anyone with good ideas on how to reduce the Balkanization but also keep things decentralized? I think Jack Dorsey actually made an interesting point the other day (not minding the X exec sitting next to him).

He said there should be a marketplace for algorithms. It would encourage transparency and then individuals would have agency in how they would want to filter the fire hose. I think that kind of thing could augment the #fediverse enough to respark some mass appeal.

Ugh, fuck Blackwell
