I thought that "wash your hands" meant screen your user input. I don't see what that has to do with using spyware. The purpose of the spyware is to spy.

@richpuchalsky It means that getting the simple, basic fundamentals right consistently is far more effective than any elaborate defences against elaborate threats.

@mhoye

huh, from context I thought it was specific to input screening, which to me made metaphorical sense. Oh well

@mhoye
Taking bets for that being an enlisted vs officer crew member.
@mhoye Some secret US bases that did not officially exist was found in the same way in Africa some years ago. It's quite funny.
@mhoye it's not just an aircraft carrier, it's an entire carrier group, passing through busy shipping lanes, and its route was announced _by Macron_ 2 weeks ago. Their position is available on marine traffic maps. The strava thing is funny but it's not like the position was hidden.
@mhoye On the other hand, it’s refreshing to see that not just Americans are this stupid
@mhoye You tell this as a joke and sounds imposible

@mhoye

Next posting - the Foreign Legion ?

@mhoye I'm pretty sure the Charles-de-Gaulle is big enough, and maybe important enough, and anyone who's interested in that sort of thing always knows where she is.
