I’ve tried putting myself in the mind of a performer, especially a comedian, who would trust they get to leave after their act. Greed is a hell of a drug.

I recently learned about the history of China/Taiwan and how mainland China is essentially the coup regime and Taiwan is the original guard who refuses to capitulate. It’s technically a civil war that never ended.

hot take: end users will be more likely to adopt security keys (or device attested passkey which = security key). Physical security, out-of-bounds cryptography to defeat AitM attacks (fake landing pages where six digit codes are stolen and silently used in perpetuity by the bad actor)

source: my job is to try to get end users to put strong MFA on all the things.

There were nearly ~150 years in colonial america (1630-1776) wherein the puritan crown did exactly what you describe as evangelical. My 8th great grandfather was arrested for baptizing too late into the day on a Sunday and spent many months incarcerated in Boston as a result.

The witch trials were really the puritans of Massachussets attempting to annex Maine. History may not repeat, but it sure does rhyme.

I spend way too much time living with this obvious truth-to-come’s future impact on my children. The AI bubble will pop and bring the market down with it, and there will be a net to catch everyone just like the ones that prevent suicides at the FOXCONN factories. I truly hope my children never taste (or become) soylent green but literally everything is on the table after seeing how greedy and cowardly nearly every human is when push comes to shove over the last 5 years.

The dehumanization frog is being boiled right in front of us, and its way less sophisticated than I ever thought it would be. project2025.observer does a great job at tracking the totality of the christofascist endgame IMO. Dehumanization being normalized will allow them to move on to political opponents heading into midterms.

As someone who consults in the IT Security space, It’s bad out there. Contractors and BYOD companies are downright sheepish in asking their outsourced employees to do anything security-related to their devices. The biggest attack vector is allowed unfettered remote access (and therefore the whole company and any bad actors are also granted unfettered remote access)

I still can’t get over how quickly companies-at-large have abandoned VPN Servers (removing network trust from the list of options as well)

I’m down to managed browsers via IdP, and I just can’t wait for the objections to that as well. People out here offering their faces to leopards. Certificate-based MFA on all the things IMO - passwords shouldnt matter (but six digit MFA codes aren’t immune to fake landing pages and siphoned MFA tokens that don’t expire)

We’re all far too dumb to be sharing our thoughts so widely and easily. The internet needs to go.

I went to school in Canada. I think I met her once.

Assimilate to the one true time zone. Resistance is futile.

Don’t worry, they will bride and use people

Always smell your beer before you drink it for two reasons: It could be meth, or it could be coors light!

AYYO!

Not sure if you’re serious, but flags (aka standards) were THE most important part of the crusades 1.0 (my mom’s surname comes from a standard-bearer’s heroics not letting their flag touch the ground in a battle)

Not saying it means fuck all, but you’re witnessing a watered down version of the same in this fisher price version of the crusades.

If you give a mouse a cookie, he’ll ask for a dictatorship next

You mean they can leave a voicemail stating their business, right? I’m too anxious to answer random phone calls.

100% on your last point. We need IQ and EQ tests to decide who gets access to sharp social objects.

This isn’t the flex you think it is, OP. 99% of cybercriminals are also cowards. Physical security of ANY kind beats even the best password managers.

If you don’t know what lattice-based encryption is and how to purchase it through NordVPN, start reading up because encryption as we know it isn’t long for this world. Pretty sure they already dragged their feet too long on Bitcoin’s algorithm but the day cracking common ciphers is within the grasp of quantum clusters is the day we all become Amish. Plan accordingly!

people are going to share keys,

get ahead of it and sell discounted bukkakeys

you could probably even have a bundle called the “family plan” for the real sickos

I should get into masturbation regulation marketing!

Hungry for Adams Apples? Try our limp biscuits!

They DID put that roadblock in place. That’s kinda my point. You have to loosen a VPN’s security to post here (as I’ve had to do to reply). It says “no posting from VPN” in the lower left if one uses more advanced/secure encryption. They also don’t allow account creation from masked email platforms like fastmail.
