The first wave of tech made information free.
The second made attention scarce.
The third makes reality optional.

Breaking: Despite Trump's bombing, Iran is still just weeks away from building a nuclear weapon--just like it has been for the past 30 years.

Oceania has always been at war with Eurasia.

So he doesn't want Iran to have nukes, and he doesn't want anyone else to have...

windmills?

Worst. Timeline.

You may not think this is helpful advice now, but a dark sense of humor will help you in these trying times.

do not under any circumstances give a librarian your true name, accept a gift from it (especially food or drink) and for god's sake never stray from the path in a library.

Y'all, the reason you keep seeing these articles of "biggest data leak yet!" is just that leakers keep including all the past data leaks in their current one to make the numbers bigger. 99% of it is probably not even original data.

Media rags need to stop reporting on this as if it's some new credential leak Armageddon every week. It's not.

Companies want all the benefits of the hacker mindset, and all the knowledge and experience of people who played with technology and pushed its limits in prior roles. But get all the ”unnecessary budget” and “oh but we don’t have the time to give you” comments when those same people want to continue doing those things.

Let your hackers go to maker/dev/hacker cons. Protect some of their time to spend exploring and experimenting. They aren’t factories.

(Edit: clarity and readability)

No, the 16 billion credentials leak is not a new data breach https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/security/no-the-16-billion-credentials-leak-is-not-a-new-data-breach/

Hot take: I think it’s both easier and more impactful to identify and address obstacles to dev productivity in an org than it is to measure dev productivity

Remind me how many of Gaza's hospitals were destroyed by Israel?
Oh, all of them? Yes, war crimes.
Maybe they can share a cell at the International Criminal Court at The Hague.

ironic that we live in a time where everybody owns a computer with a mandatory button that spawns a supposed "magical genie", except for computer witches & wizards who specifically do *not* have such a button anywhere, nor do they wish to have one

"| love public libraries because they
are built on the principle that books
are so important and so necessary
to human flourishing that access to
them cannot depend on your
income."

My talk from Security Fest is now live for any interested security enthusiasts, pentesters, red teamers and password crackers. Fun fact, my voice is that annoying in real life too.

Educators: We must teach the next generation to speak truth to power.

Also educators: Not like that.

We did not punch enough nazis

I'm so tired of explaining to normals that the software industry is complete shit and it's a goddamn miracle anything ever works.

When we throw up our hands and say none of it matters, we're doing the fascists’ work for them. They don't need to hide their corruption if they can convince us it's pointless to look. They don't need to silence truth-tellers if we've already decided truth is meaningless.

I've seen this photo a couple times circulated without credit.

Y'know, the bosses love to rob "employees" of credit so let's make an effort to credit photojournalists and other creators. Taking folks' credit off their works is part of the type of culture that enabled mass rip-off via AI and thus mass unemployment.
