One of the latest highly misleading articles from @404mediaco got called out by the intellectually honest independent journalist @violetblue concerning the situation with @protonprivacy and the FBI.

It's surprising they haven't yet faced any legal repercussions for it.

Before bug bounties, before root shells, before the word hacker meant anything at all there was a blind kid who whistled 2600 Hz and bent Ma Bell to his will.

Joybubbles tells the story of Joe Engressi, the original phone phreak and a reminder that hacking started as curiosity, play, and defiance.

"This has an em dash—it must be AI!" 😩

GenAI uses em dashes, in part, because it was trained on material written by authors like me. Without our consent, might I add.

The machines can pry my em dashes from my cold, dead hands.
