don't last as long as wax or wooden apples when you're doing still life paintings but do taste very similar.

Paul_IPv6 (paul_ipv6@infosec.exchange)'s status on Friday, 23-Aug-2024 05:00:04 JST Paul_IPv6 "It thus follows that politicians and political parties are •lagging• indicators of change."
i think that's a crucial part of understanding where politicians are in the process of substantive, systemic change.
they are the original "no one ever got fired for buying X" folks.
you're right that politicians don't build consensus. they don't even lobby hard for it. they concede to consensus when they believe it's consensus.
the reason they need a story is to understand how what they're trying to do matches that consensus opinion.
politicians are sales folks as much as they are legislators.
what you call activists are the startups, the market disruptors, the visionaries.

Paul_IPv6 (paul_ipv6@infosec.exchange)'s status on Friday, 23-Aug-2024 04:49:27 JST Paul_IPv6 yeah. probably more "actual solutions are pretty low in the priority queue". it's not that they are against fixing things. it's just not what they put as a top goal.
that's why if we can give them a "story" they think they can run with to go with actual solutions, we'll get more actual solutions.

Paul_IPv6 (paul_ipv6@infosec.exchange)'s status on Friday, 23-Aug-2024 04:00:33 JST Paul_IPv6 yup. most don't care about actual solutions. they just want to be seen as doing something about the problem. they want to figure out the status quo/consensus opinion, then adopt that as their opinion du jour.
we, as technologists, can't just educate them, explain the risks, explore potential solutions. we also have to spoon feed them the "spin", the message they can use to show that they "did something" and are "on the right side of the argument". without that spin, they'll never care.
when we can both give unbiased, real info and also help them spin it, we will get what we want more often.

all sorts of "it worked for mag strips, why not now" confusion.

Paul_IPv6 (paul_ipv6@infosec.exchange)'s status on Friday, 02-Aug-2024 04:33:53 JST Paul_IPv6 i was just joking recently with someone that what we got was PGP (Pretty Good Privacy) but what we really should have asked for was PEP (Pretty Easy Privacy). :)

Paul_IPv6 (paul_ipv6@infosec.exchange)'s status on Friday, 02-Aug-2024 02:03:24 JST Paul_IPv6 same same here. run small email server.
while i can sympathize with consumer email providers that block-specific only doesn't scale nearly as well as block-all/allow-only-specific, we hit what you say. how do i prove i'm "clean" if i can't send to you.
i do think we need to have these discussions, possibly be willing to give up some cherished ideals, but most critically, we need to get those most at risk of abuse involved at every stage in discussion/design/test/deploy.

Paul_IPv6 (paul_ipv6@infosec.exchange)'s status on Saturday, 20-Jul-2024 01:32:39 JST Paul_IPv6 when mosaic first came out, i was working in a unix shop. general reaction was:
- who needs pictures
- this is really slow
- why do we need this if we have wais/gopher/archie/etc alreadylessons learned from this:
- this is why none of us was able to retire early/rich
- we were right but no one listened -

there's a reason there's so much effort at voter suppression. the fascists know they are a shrinking demographic.

Paul_IPv6 (paul_ipv6@infosec.exchange)'s status on Saturday, 18-May-2024 05:33:42 JST Paul_IPv6 never trust anything that claims it can parse ASN.1.
any syntax standard that is supposed to be clear and unambiguous but whose very name is Abstract is just a bad idea. :)

Paul_IPv6 (paul_ipv6@infosec.exchange)'s status on Saturday, 24-Feb-2024 06:06:36 JST Paul_IPv6 i was just getting into computers seriously as higher level languages were making assembly, awareness of actual RAM usage, etc much less necessary. it's been interesting as we've move further away from all that and yet there is still a need for at least a few folks to dive into the guts underneath.
