Cursed idea: the light below the microwave goes out. You find it's part and get an aftermarket compatible replacement. The microwave recognizes it isn't official and won't use it (it's just a light!). Fed up after no firmware downgrade guides work, you look for the official part. The original bulb lasted so long they don't sell the part anymore.

Seems like all the early adopters are going to sh*t in the pool of information for generations to come.

The quality of search results are going down for all sorts of reasons. And it is taking a dive for the worst, fast,

Does Australia exist? According to Bing: no. With credible citations too.

"Wikipedia isn't a source" my middle school teachers would say, and yet it is nearing the most long term reputable source of information.

There's a phishing scam spreading like a worm throughout Telegram right now.

One of my friends lost their account and several others nearly fell for it.

Included are instructions to recover your account, how the phishing scam works, and what you can do to combat this threat:

Another DEF CON talk: "Attacking Decentralized Identity". It introduced and clarified DIDs and verifiable credentials in approachable language. Here's my distillation of that introduction.

@cadey also had something to share at the end too

Recalling the time when I reverted work that marketing got into the product: links that automatically log people in through unsolicited campaign emails. These magic links had lifetimes of months and went into a third party email marketing provider. Anyone with access, including interns, could use the links that went into that third party's email merge tables.

Does this give you anxiety? Does it give you vibes?

Nearly unrestricted access to impersonate any user and purchase items with their saved credit cards flayed my mind.

Passkeys align security with the individuals it benefits. Apple, Google, and Microsoft provide their own passkeys now, but the cross platform story remains underserved. Third party password managers have been good enough for many people, I believe it is okay to have passkeys come from those too as they serve individuals across platforms.

haha, the HN response to "uwubernetes" is to create a new user called "furcrime" and vent on that.

Lately that place has become more visibly anti-queer at the top too.

I now have a squarespace account, that I never asked for.

Why?
Google Domains sold out, and as they renew the domains, they shove it off to an account on squarespace with the same email, which is conveniently authenticated with "log in with google"
