Note how LastPass PR offloaded a ton of buzzwords here that don’t actually mean anything. They turned this kind of responses into an art. https://arstechnica.com/security/2026/02/password-managers-promise-that-they-cant-see-your-vaults-isnt-always-true/

Bitwarden at least admits that a fully compromised server isn’t part of their threat model. It’s the same for LastPass, and in the past they’ve rejected vulnerability submissions based on that – there are a number of very simple ways in which a compromised server is able to access your “secure” vault. But they won’t admit it, hoping instead that the message will drown in the noise they produce.

For the sake of completeness: Dashlane’s response is merely generic. 1Password’s response is correct from what I can tell: the “compromised server” scenario has been considered and the risks arising from it are documented, nothing new here.

If you aren't familiar with Modern Monetary Theory (MMT), I highly recommend you learn about it. It shouldn't take too long and it can change the way you think about social problems and grant you immunity from some of the right's most powerful, entrenched propaganda. The idea that we "can't afford" to address social problems like poverty and climate change, that trying to do so might "create a deficit" (all the while gleefully spending on things like tax cuts for billionaires and mining companies, the military and organisations like ICE).

Here are some videos I like about MMT:
- The Big Myth of Government Deficits, a TED talk by Stephani Kelton https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FATQ0Yf0Fhc
- The Deficits Myth: The Biggest Lie in Politics https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=75udjh6hkOs

It's also worth searching around and reading and watching more about it until it feels intuitive.

You can develop a lot of confidence that when the talking heads say "the economy", they mean nothing more than "rich people's yacht money".

We can fix all the major problems with society if we have the will. We aren't constrained in the ways that they desperately want us to believe we are.

Disingenuous statement on the GitHub Blog on the flood of AI-generated slop "contributions" that have been overwhelming project maintainers with busy-work:

"At GitHub, we aren’t just watching this happen."

That's true. You actively pushed things to get us to this point.

RT: @Heccles94 The UK does not have a welfare problem.

It's got a corrupt politician and corrupt political elite problem.

It's got a billionaire problem.

Tax the rich.

DC area aviation nerds: On Feb 28th (starting at 8am), a generator is scheduled for delivery to the roof of the new Georgetown hospital building via helicopter.

There will be road closures and pedestrian restrictions, but it should be possible to get close enough to see, if that's your thing.
