"I cannot be phased by being condescended to by old white men in legislative meetings. I have worked many years in infosec and I am dead inside" is an actual thing I said in an all-hands meeting yesterday.
There is nothing more American than bragging that you know a bunch of languages because you can stumble your way through a restaurant menu and nothing more European than fluently speaking 3+ languages while apologizing for your accent.
@evacide About time. Here's hoping this is the start of govs getting the guts to start breaking up the massive monoliths that are controlling so many sectors, squelching innovation, and lining billionaire pockets. Amazon, Meta, Alphabet next pls.
I keep writing "privacy for cats" instead of "privacy for cars" in my work calendar, which leads to a very different mental image of what my job looks like.
A lot of people who are not experts in domestic abuse think they're making a clever point by informing me that if an abuser has physical access & login credentials, the game's already over.
I am very tired and do not have the energy to explain why making spying easier for abusers is bad, actually.
@GossiTheDog@evacide This sounds like employer surveillance ware that can also be abused by any family admin. I can’t think of any reason I would want such a thing, as a user.
Also, if browser password managers are insecure, we should be shouting that from the rooftops.
"I'm not listening to any more Dune takes from a guy who can't tell CHOAM from the Landsraad!" is a perfectly normal thing to yell while making brunch.
When I talk about digital privacy, there is always some smug genius who shrugs and tells me, "Who cares? We all know we don't have any privacy anyway." Nothing could be more wrong. Convincing you that the fight is already over to the way people in power get you to stop resisting.
If you own a Tesla, your car is covered in cameras that take images reviewed by Tesla employees, who share them with each other, joke about them, and make them into memes.
Presumably, Tesla knows which cars cameras took which photos, so pairing them up with the car owner wouldn't seem hard. Unless, that is, the owner takes seriously Tesla's claim that the cameras are there "to assist driving" and are “designed from the ground up to protect your privacy.”
Reuters's list of examples included a lot of faces. I don't suppose anyone at Tesla or elsewhere in Elmo's organization have access to facial recognition software. No?
And up to now, that post is visible. Well, to my followers, because I set my account to "protected" quite some ago. Seems it's not just the occurrence of "cisgender" and "slur".
