Was quoted in a thing. Regardless of what color your passport or papers . Regardless of what administration is in power wherever you are on this planet. It's crucial in a modern society for the people to know how to protect their privacy, safety, and agency. Upgrade your knowledge!

An observation. Because of all the hacking in the past, tech has gotten more secure. You can bring a device & have a reasonable assurance that you are easier to scam than it is to hack. Surviving #defcon now is about water & sunblock.

🥼🧪 experimenting with cataloging my descent into #defcon31 on Bluesky. First thing is around this time of year I get way more phishing attacks & "nation state apt may be trying to access your account" warnings from the platforms & tools I use. Some are so good 🏆, I store them for later.
