Things that I won’t use, even to mock or joke about it:

* Generative AI
* Incel slang
* MAGA or nazi imagery

I think this is a reasonable boundary.

You will be visited by three spirits.

At this point creating your own personal website, your own blog, your own music or even your own YouTube channel without any generative AI input is a revolutionary act against what is increasingly becoming a dangerous status quo of slop.

I totally forgot to post about this huge leak from Chinese government linked infosec company KnownSec (a name that makes me think of 2013 Anonymous more than anything else).

These Arch Linux people are getting out of control.

You know things are bad in America when liberals are getting misty eyed about Reagan, the architect of every problem America is currently experiencing. The man was evil, pure and simple, you absolutely don’t have to hand it to him.

I hadn’t realized Iran cut itself off from the internet, with the pretext that it was to combat cyberattacks. They’ve been working on a similar internal “splinternet” as Russia has been, will allow government and the authorities to continue to function without access to the actual net.

@servisoficial stuxnet was spread by physical means, infected removable media plugged into airgapped systems. I don’t minimise this or anything else but you cannot argue that the Iranian government doesn’t have a vested interest in preventing contradictory news or calls for protests reaching the people of Iran. Also I am confused as to that you mean by “your country”.

Finally a book for people who got in trouble on the computer.

From "All About Computers", published in 1984.

One last illustration from Family Computing Magazine (1983), this brilliant drawing of the potential magic of home automation.

Completely bereft of ideas beyond chasing the next hype cycle until it falls apart. Meta is all of Silicon Valley now.

@GossiTheDog @bontchev was going to post that link, I believe it too. I remember even years ago the Irish Health Service was given decryption keys and still struggled for months and months to recover data.

Okay let’s do this, a thread as I watch the 1996 crime caper (featuring Stephen Baldwin as a “cyberhacker”) Fled. Five minutes in and we have the assassination of a government witness with bombs hidden in Chinese food delivery, promising start.

That’s the name of the movie!

So the guy who got blown up was a witness against some dangerous mobster and now the government is having trouble making their case against the mobster.

🎶 A tale as old as time 🎵

You better believe each letter in the text that tells you where the scene takes place makes a little typewriter noise!

Stephen Baldwin and Lawrence Fishburne are now cuffed together after some disagreement.

The prison guards are engaging in some conspiratorial conversations and swapping out the clips for their guns and talking about waiting for a signal, while Fishburne and Baldwin fight.
