EY! I’m swimming’ ova here!

The payback is knowing that one day their kids will do the same to them, right ;)

The “slow mornings” one is my favorite.

I can’t even share this in the boys chat, but this shit made me cackle

One of the people briefed on the situation, a consultant advising the United States on encryption matters, said Apple would be barred from warning its users that its most advanced encryption no longer provided full security. The person deemed it shocking that the U.K. government was demanding Apple’s help to spy on non-British users without their governments’ knowledge. A former White House security adviser confirmed the existence of the British order.

Bloody hell - I’m encouraged by this because it means that Apple’s encryption actually frustrates governments, but anyone using iCloud for storage or backups is pwned.

I think about this all the time.

Cremia and Romani’s failure state is so sad :’(

Couldn’t agree more. Good message, but pontificating as hell.

After the announcement of tariffs, world markets saw Canada and China’s markets drop a couple points and the US’s surged a couple of points.

If you knew that market shift was coming and had a few billion in international markets and sold while the US surged, you made a shitload of money (at least, “shitload of money” from my perspective, because I’m a poorsie).

And the bugs were (usually) reliable, so if you found a workaround on your own or just avoided causing the bug, you would get a consistent experience.

Now it feels like each deployment ends up breaking something new.

Yeah, the convenience of everyone having internet has shortened development cycles and meant everything is shipped with less testing and is available for constant rework/improvement.

It’s really nice sometimes to admire early software because of how cobbled-together it was and would still work well-enough.

Holy shit, Americans. What is happening to you?

Upvoted because I think this is a common perspective. My comment below is for anyone else out there who may feel the same way as you do.

Being a passenger may cause less anxiety, but if safety is your biggest concern, driving yourself is the safest option to get around currently (besides bus/train transport or walking).

Driving is all about strategy. I’ll be transparent and say that it is not a “safe” activity, but I’ll also say that riding in a car driven by someone else is likely less safe than educating yourself on good driving strategy and taking your safety (and the safety of your passengers) into your own hands.

Driving defensively and using good vehicular communication will put you as a driver above 9/10s of the other drivers out there. That 1/10th leftover could hit you as a driver or passenger, but as a passenger, you have no recourse when you see them coming.

Nm I’m dumb. It’s under the “Digital Archive” on their site.

Hmmm… I found an old magazine in their listings, but can’t for the life of me find out how to read it.

FLUSH THE TOILET AFTER YOU’VE HAD A SHIT

That blue ps2 looks dope af

Yeah, that’s the downside with data like this, nothing prevents copying it. You’d need fines to help enforce it (which, as we’ve seen from this exact article, aren’t an effective deterrent).

Just one more of a million massive breaches within the last 10 years. No real consequences, I’m sure.

At this point, I think it’s safe to say that no individual person’s personal data hasn’t been caught in one of these breaches (unless they were born very recently). That’s not even mentioning the hundreds of vendors who I no longer work with but still have my sensitive data on their systems.

I heard an idea a few years ago that I found interesting: each person has their private data hosted on a secure data hub. If a vendor needs some of that data (ex: FirstName, LastName, Email) for their system, they have to make a request to your hub for it, which you then have to approve. Each time a vendor system needs that data, they make a callout to your hub. As long as they have an active approval, the callout would succeed for the fields they’ve been authorized. You can then revoke that request whenever you’d like.

I like the idea of having a running list of vendors who have access to your data and being able to revoke that data. However, it would also create a single location (your data hub) that could be breached and be a higher value target than any of the particular vendors.

Trade-offs.

Very interesting article. Thanks for sharing

You’re not a piece of shit; you’re becoming a piece of shit.

And flarp is the music of your transformation.
