i fully tanked my last extraction of the night to finish my first arachne mission, thank you/sorry to my duo ♥️
realizing that when i say "that's so fair" i mean "yeah that makes sense" and when i say "that's fair" i mean "get out of this conversation"
this was really fun read with some absolute bars in it
it's unlikely to show up in podcasts but Erica Lagalisse spells out what they assume on the pod: that the book was a cheque.

> "We want to first clarify that Proton did not provide any information to the FBI, the information was obtained from the Swiss justice department via MLAT. Proton only provides the limited information that we have when issued with a legally binding order from Swiss authorities...”
yeah i'm not stoked about that, and i agree with your conclusion: Proton, and every company, will comply with laws and treaties. the way companies make our data unavailable to themselves are more important to me than their goodwill, and no company can hide credit card transactions from themselves.
action. this is a pretty specific threat model! the opposition has a lot of resources! encryption reduces the amount of information an email provider could provide on request, paying via crypto can complicate (but not eliminate) the risk of being attributed to an account. security is a spectrum.
seeing a lot of conversations about Proton: please do not allow yourself to be dragged back into security all-or-nothing thinking. the 404 media article is very good www.404media.co/proton-mail-...
the takeaway here is that somebody paid for an address that could be linked via other data to direct
you will probably hate it!

i was JUST telling a friend about this 😭
i think this is one of the reasons Sekiro is a fave of mine, there's very little question of what the game wants you to get good *at*
i struggled so hard with windows "learn C++ in 21 days" books and tried to compile these ginormous mud codebases on a windows machine with 0 knowledge, absolutely brutal
i think there's still a belief that a fighting game will break containment and become massively popular outside of the (pretty big and healthy) niche, and that expectation drives a lot of thinking about whether a game is 'dead'. this is in a genre where people continue to play 20+ year old games!
one of the benefits of watching a quarter century of FGC development is seeing how patching, live service, and content creation have shifted audiences from a mindset of choosing to play or not play a game to a mindset of patch/content anticipation, where game health is contingent on change
we can see in real time the deployment of these tools in our shops and their effects, and there's a history of automation for us to draw upon!
thus has it ever been. Luddism is not technological conservatism, it's labour strategy. we can make arguments against environmental racism, labour exploitation, bias, inherent error, lack of productivity, laundering of responsibility. these are not passive positions!
communicate those decisions you are not doing the job!
asking "how can i make this somebody else's problem". where in many cases they're outsourcing criticality to co-workers or maintainers. and, like, it's your job to be critical! it's your job to know where and how decisions are made in code, and how we came to those decisions! if you don't make and
the aesthetics of vibe coding, which demand from the "programmer" an active performance of surrender in "not reading the code". i increasingly see software professionals saying "how can agents solve x" rather than starting at "how can we solve x", working backwards from the tool. this is essentially
buddy of mine dug up this old Lanier piece that hits really hard cseweb.ucsd.edu/~goguen/cour..., Agents of Alienation. it makes the case for that agents are primarily an ideological technology in that they require people to surrender agency/criticality/autonomy. this connects interestingly to

i read this yesterday and it kind of rules
This week I finally wrote the beginner's security guide I wanted to see in the world. Here's 8 tasks you can do right now, with plenty of vetted resources and the "Cliffsnotes" style summary on why you should do things, risks and limitations, and even what NOT to do. Enjoy! hashman.ca/security-101/
would have preferred that they didn't use the 1 examination = 1 minute system overall
this kind of doesn't happen again. they use that first hour to tutorialize the game but in so doing also give the impression that the time budget is a lot tighter than it actually is. it's definitely a sharp edge but the game isn't this hostile for the duration
lmao
better than bouillon
where do you place the "blessed is the flame" usage? within that Aragorn tradition or is this also a misapplication? i feel like that text lands hard on "fighting if doomed"
