Increasingly convinced that the job mobility of US workers found in the past 30-50 years (shoddy promotion pathing, zero formal in-house training, consistently hiring outside, essentially random layoffs) is less a product of a mercenary labor force, or even a product of managerial incompetence, than it is a deliberate strategy by enterprise owners.

Consistently losing and re-hiring workers is expensive, in both dollar and productivity terms, but you know what constantly job-hopping workers don't do? Organize.

If you're not going to be somewhere longer than 2-3 years, there's very weak incentives to build the kind of relationships that unionization efforts require. If the workplace sucks, you just leave instead of fighting for improvements with your friends.

Incredible supply chain attack. Someone faked a hardware wallet that looks and behaves like the genuine article and shipped to purchasers, complete with packaging and holographic seals.

The lesson here is NEVER buy your security hardware from anyone except the original seller!

GrapheneOS is awesome.

If you're in the market for an Android OS that respects your privacy, has secure defaults, and still enables you to use Google apps and Play store apps on your own terms - I highly recommend it. Great experience using it so far.

Almost eleven weeks after, finally have first post-mortem income/cash flow. How the hell do we expect normal working poor to fare floating things for eleven fucking weeks?

The whole process fucking sucks. Like, your family is devastated and also suddenly responsible for reconfiguring finances and dealing with 500 kinds of bureaucrats and funereal business vultures?
Leave it to USian culture to turn grieving and funeral rites into a series of business models

Finnish court insisted on giving CEO of grossly negligent firm a sentence for failing to protect patients from breach... but also suspended the sentence.

Against the carceral state. That said, the behavior will not change if incentives do not change.

Increasingly, the only option for securing data is not to produce data at all. At least for as long as the turboclowns running the corporate circuses suffer no real consequences from their massive security fails.

It's very sad to me that the American Dream (tm) has gone from "work hard and you will succeed" to "find another sucker to scam and you'll get rich." Particularly since most of the folks who think they're scamming are actually the suckers.

ceresbzns,

@krusynth

Two contentions, Mr Hunt

  1. "the American dream" as a cultural artifact is like, maybe 70 years old. Before that, the scam hustle was certainly still alive and well, it just took the form of land speculation and railroads or literal snake oil, etc. Or, you know, abject worker exploitation or literal slavery or genocide and ecocide and land theft.

As it stands, that American Dream nonsense was basically a bargain for the white middle class families. The rich played their own game per usual.

  1. Blaming consumers for this phenomenon is missing literally half the picture. The other half is the OUTRAGEOUS amount of money poured into these enshittification engines by venture capital and institutional investors. So if you want to blame someone for mass-produced garbage and casino equity markets, maybe blame financiers, the rich, and the easy money policy of the past 30 years?
ceresbzns,

@krusynth

Beyond that, I agree with your main call to action. We should put our money towards local news and local shops and local services. I raise these points because I don't think it's useful to blame the boats for the storm.

    Does anyone know of an online brokerage that offers decent 2FA (hardware token or TOTP app) for account security?

    I've used Fidelity and Merrill Lynch and the best they offer is suboptimal 2FA factors like SMS or email. Fidelity just tried to railroad me into using voice authentication.

    Their entire security model seems centered around

    1. social proof, and
    2. users noticing fraud and reporting it in a timely fashion so they can hit a big red undo button.

    It's often said we should never assume malice where ignorance suffices, but I'm starting to think we underestimate malice.

    Is this an insurance scam?
