Well, that was another entire workday completely eaten up by space debris, stupid techbro satellites, the FCC, and Reflect Orbital (which is the most egregious case of stupid techbro satellites...so far...) I need to go rage-scream in the hay field for a while and then snuggle some goats.

OK. It's going to be coming out soon because of the relentless investigations of Pam Bondi and Kash Patel, so I might as well admit it before the news breaks: I am the General Counsel of Antifa.

I think Mastodon's proposal for starter packs is a significant positive evolution of the way Bluesky rolled them out. I wound up on a bunch of packs there and it was…not a great thing for my specific brain and purpose. I do hope the people in Masto's comments saying […] [Original post on mas.to]

If you’re a pound shop politician desperately angling for populist clout by claiming you’ve seen no white faces in some place you visited then I have some advice: If that’s truly what you’ve observed then it’s not evidence that BME migrants don’t “integrate”. It’s evidence that the whites won’t […]

screenshot: We’re now adding the option to allow the collection of detailed code‑related data pertaining to IDE activity, such as edit history, terminal usage, and your interactions with AI features. This may include code snippets, prompt text, and AI responses.

That sounds like a lot, and it is, but that’s where the real value for improvements comes from. If you allow us to collect this data, we will make sure that:
No sensitive or personal information is shared.

Unterstützer aus der Hölle. So sollte eine gute Allianz gegen ein Gesetz aus der Hölle aussehen. #Chatkontrolle

Screenshot: Das Bild zeigt einen Screenshot eines Artikels der BILD.

Darauf zu sehen:
• Ein Foto von Rainer Wendt, dem Bundesvorsitzenden der „Deutschen Polizeigewerkschaft“.
• Bildunterschrift: „Der Bundesvorsitzende der Deutschen Polizeigewerkschaft, Rainer Wendt (68) – Foto: picture alliance/dpa/dpa-Zentralbild“.
• Zitat von Rainer Wendt:

„Chatkontrollen, durch wen auch immer, sind das Ende von Privatheit, Meinungsfreiheit und Demokratie. Als Gewerkschafter bin ich auf vertrauliche Kommunikation, beispielsweise mit Journalisten, Kollegen oder Politikern angewiesen.“

Kurz: Der Artikel zeigt, dass selbst der umstrittene Chef der „Polizeigewerkschaft“ Chatkontrollen scharf kritisiert und sie als Gefahr für Privatheit, Meinungsfreiheit und Demokratie bezeichnet.

I guess I haven’t clearly articulated this in writing, but friends do not let friends without substantive IT work experience and/or a credible IT degree take cybersecurity career bootcamps in 2025. They are up to no good. Shenanigans. Malfeasance. They are not a safe way to get a job.
