As usual, the value in cryptographic agility isn't ability to choose a different algorithm, it's the ability to reject and deprecate an old and insecure algorithm.

Me: "You can use any cipher suite you want, as long as it's the cipher suite I specced in the protocol."
*at Real World Crypto and someone mentions crypto agility*
Me: Hold on this is my special interest. I hope you're ready for a poorly rehearsed spiel about algorithm confusion attacks.
LIVE FROM TAIPEI, IT'S REAL WORLD CRYPTO!

I need every single male artist that follows me to read this. It's not very long. You need to bear witness to this shit. You have to see it with your own eyes because you never will in your everyday life.
I'm serious, read it all please
Why do they call it TwitchCon and not the Simp-osium?

I’m so tired of seeing people bash Bluesky for being an echo chamber when X is an actual intentionally constructed echo chamber that is demonstrably radicalizing people across the political spectrum who still use it
I just now got around to watching Veritasium's piece on the open-source xz vulnerability and how it transpired, and honestly it's a remarkably good look into both the upsides and downsides of open-source culture, from collaboration to exploitation of free labor. Worth a watch for sure.
We shouldn't engage in state-phobia either, but rather be realistic about the state as one social technology among many that can be used in liberatory and oppressive ways, and across and within which power crisscrosses in many directions
The left has its own problem with absolutely loving the state and then being all <surprised pikachu> when the right seizes it

"omg why did they do this?"
These stupid fucking harassment campaigns need to stop.
I don't care how profound your sense of disgust towards someone's kink is. That is insufficient to mske said kink intrinsically harmful.
Stop cooking your brains on outrage-stoking attention-seekers.
How many times do I need to tap the sign?

Learning that there is yet another harassment campaign against a queer creator for the Moral Crime of having ABDL kink, because the morons trying to crusade them cannot see it as anything other than pedophilia.
I got a bunch of traffic to this blog post from Twitter today, and have zero idea why, so I'm sharing it here in case someone finds it helpful:

Waitaminute. That service that all the white nationalists send me threats from? That fuckin Proton? Wasn’t the whole reason for using it supposed to be it protected you?
You aren’t here for the hunting, are you
Pocket the Street Alchemist is doing numbers over on Tumblr for some reason, so here you go Bluesky! I hope you enjoy this dumb moment from a lil weirdo NPC I introduced in my D&D campaign a while back!

Monkey wrenching is such an under appreciated form of protest
Thumbs, a 3-panel comic: 1. A tiger sits up alone on his bed, looking at his phone. 2. “It was real nice seeing you again tonight. I haven’t stopped smiling.” The Tiger wrote. He then receives three responses that seem like gibberish. Someone struggling to convey their thought. Auto-correct clearly failing them. But the tiger can understand the message. “I like you, too.” 3. A wolf sits alone on his bed, looking at his phone. Struggling to hold the device in his two dog-paw hands. Without thumbs, he can only nap his screen to text as best as he can. For the first time, he feels understood. —— There once was a wolf, believe it or not, With floppy grey ears and a snout like a blot. But what made him so strange, if you count all his claws, Instead of two hands, he was born with two paws

And as is traditional the police & prosecutors are still unsure if it was a hate crime.

What a lovely illustration of how actual humans want to use discretionary capital, as opposed to parking it in tax havens or using it to take over political establishments.
