Have you seen IT budgets? Some vice-president of technology is going to be pissed his numbers look bad compared to his peers during their weekly numbers measuring contest.

2017 twitch had a “whispers” product. Sounds like direct messages twitch.

He was sexting a minor. A twitch employee confirmed he was sexting her even after he learned her age. He tried to setup a meetup at twitchcon.

He might be legally pseudo protected by twitch having minimum age requirements. I’m not a lawyer so I don’t know why the company just banned him instead of referring it to the cops. This all could have been secret if he had just kept his mouth shut and not bad mouthed the company with all the deets.

The whole point is that everything is in an official ledger, that can be argued over in front of a judge.

Best you can do is say you don’t consent for your data to be sold. Find a smaller bank or a credit union where they have to give a shit about their customers.

Yes

A few years ago a tech friend literally couldn’t comprehend why he would want to be in a union.

Give up your universal account that accesses everywhere. Multiple accounts is the way.

(Verse 1) Well, I was ridin’ the range, just me and my truck, Through the dust and the tumbleweeds, out of pure luck. She was shiny and new, with a mind of her own, My trusty old partner, on the wide open road.

(Chorus) But my self-driving truck, she’s got a heart of steel, Left me in the dust, for another man’s wheel. She don’t need no cowboy, to tell her what to do, My self-driving truck, found herself someone new.

(Verse 2) We’d roamed through the deserts, and over the plains, Through the storms and the sunshine, the joy and the pain. But she up and left me, without a goodbye, Now I’m just a lone cowboy, under the big sky.

(Chorus) Oh, my self-driving truck, she’s got a heart of steel, Left me in the dust, for another man’s wheel. She don’t need no cowboy, to tell her what to do, My self-driving truck, found herself someone new.

(Bridge) I guess I never thought, that she’d leave me this way, With a mind of her own, she chose her own way. Now I’m stuck here alone, with my old boots and hat, Just a cowboy in the sunset, where the memories sat.

(Chorus) Yeah, my self-driving truck, she’s got a heart of steel, Left me in the dust, for another man’s wheel. She don’t need no cowboy, to tell her what to do, My self-driving truck, found herself someone new.

(Outro) So here’s to the highways, and the roads that we roam, To the self-driving trucks, that find their own home. I’ll keep riding solo, through the wind and the rain, Just a cowboy without his truck, but I’ll never complain.

One part, now their lives are on the line for all the saber rattling they scream about.

One part now their kids get to talk to others in the barracks unless they find a way for ultra-ortho only batallions.

Others have already laughed at this idea, but on a similar topic:

I know we’ve basically disabled a lot of features that sped up the CPU but introduced security flaws. Is there a way to turn those features back on for an airgapped computer intentionally?

I’m not going back to typing my grocery list manually. So I’m fucked in that part of my life.

Edit: thank you to everybody suggesting privacy preserving methods of grocery list maintenance. I’ve already considered them.

Ah shit, is this the time line where privacy isn’t needed cause people want better AI?

They shouldn’t have to though. Especially when taxes pay for them whirlybirds

No where in history was that a legitimate trade. Only her father would take such a dumb deal.

Aristocrats can afford to pay a house at a minimum. Don’t let them devalue your worth.

Economies are lowly tools that are supposed to exist solely to benefit the people of the society they are a lowly tool for.

What complete gutter trash talk. Economies serve the master of mankind.

Who is the artist?

It’s protocols over platforms. I’m not too worried about the protocol.

My opinion is that concealed filming be inadmissible in court without a “warrant” to allow its entry as evidence. Prosecutors have to state what they hope the concealed video will contain, and only that portion can be used.

Too many missing people for me to agree entirely that concealed filming is completely bad.

I don’t believe that the NSA has a portal giving them direct access (probably naive).

They definitely have a secret agent 🕵️‍♀️ nerd on the inside providing intel on the structure. Maybe inject exploits or guide them when needed.

They definitely have a direct e-mail address to cloudflare legal to serve national security letters that cloud flare is obligated to comply with. Which is a portal with extra steps, but which cloud flare can raise a fuss if they notice the requests are turning into vacuum cleaners, and not union membership research.

Most important part of the blog post:

We are planning a 3rd party security audit for the protocols and cryptography design in July 2024, and also the security audit for an implementation in December 2024/January 2025, and it would hugely help us if some part of this $50,000+ expense is covered with donations.
