my friend teaches creative writing at a private school. he’s now forced to upload a calendar and a detailed syllabus with itemized evaluation points and not deviate from this at all, because the school considers this a contract with the customer (the student). absolute hell.

@lzg I look forward to stories of joyous malicious compliance, as that is the only sane response to these systems.

Some days, it feels like mastodon is 100% subtweets with few if any paths to what is being subtweeted about.

@vitriolix this feels true both literally and metaphorically.

There is always a point, when I am writing a new talk, that I look over my slides and need to resist the urge to make it positively unhinged.

@aiefel @evacide we clearly need an invite only, tlp:red rant presentation session after hours at a digital security conference

My kid just wanted to do an impression of me giving a talk and they shifted into a much louder register and said “blah blah blah apple blah blah blah python blah blah blah docker blah blah blah” and I have never been roasted so hard in my life

@glyph this is hilarious, but also do we need to get you to the nearest burn center?

Privacy theater is when we use privacy practices to demonstrate intention, even if it doesn't mitigate risk in the wild. For example, why do the Ninja Turtles wear masks? Are there other squads of anthropomorphic turtles with weapons in these streets? What's the point of this? This is keeping me up at night, make it stop

    This story, from late last year, continues to eat at me. The potential for massive surveillance and opsec gains by cartels here is hard to get my head around. https://mastodon.mit.edu/@marielgm/111188513397473965

    The absolutely infuriating thing about Tumblr potentially starting to silently sell off your posts unless you affirmatively check a deeply-hidden opt-out box you can only find out about through word of mouth is, if I bring up my own Tumblr and try to scroll back more than a few posts, it stops me literally saying "Stop: Classified". So I don't get access to my posts, but OpenAI does.

    @mcc if we can get everyone else to disable this, I promise to leave it enabled on my (functionally abandoned for years now) https://icanhazdigitalsecurity.tumblr.com/ so it can be the main source of training data.

    Nobody uses imagemaps anymore. The mid 90s web was absolutely lousy with imagemaps. These days? Nothing!

    2024 self care discoveries: I should probably work on my anger management w/r/t people who format headers in documents with bold/ital/font size instead of the actual heading 1-6 options.

    @ninavizz and just for ... the underlying value of a semantic web which never quite was, and I might still (now what, almost 2 decades past) be bitter about?

    @ninavizz That time we made developers listen to their security apps and websites in screen readers with USABLE was... very educational.
