Dear autistic family who share your autistic selves,

We are building an understanding of ourselves that gives us back the humanity that popular culture and psychology tried to steal.

I love you all for that, even though irl I know our sensory differences might make it a challenge to exist in the same place.

Shit is too hard, but you all really help.

Adobe is now processing all your PDFs in the cloud, by default. The setting to “Enable generative AI features in Acrobat” was on, and I didn’t know it until I opened a document and Adobe asked me if I wanted a document summary. It’s annoying to have to click “No,” so I opened settings to disable the prompt.

THE PROBLEM
I sign Non-Disclosure Agreements for many of my clients. Adobe is a potential leak of protected information. I don’t know what Adobe does with this information. I don’t know what they store, or for how long. I don’t know what country (or countries) the data is stored in. I don’t know what LLMs are trained with this data. And I don’t need to know. What I need to know is that they won’t use default opt-in as a legal excuse to wiretap my information.

I recommend that you check your Adobe settings on all devices, for all Adobe accounts.

It's always fun finding interesting to see things in the OpenBSD ports tree using pledge(2) and/or unveil(2), some adopted upstream others via local patches.

For example, the server-side part of Anubis, that AI scraper bot protection thing that keeps popping up everywhere recently (you know the one with the anime fox person) uses a fairly tight unveil(2) on OpenBSD, with limited read/write access and no execv(2) permission.

minidlna, for home media streaming, uses pledge(2) & unveil(2) in -current to restrict the service to the bare minimum filesystem access required for it to function, and no more.

More seatbelts. ​

A few people have messaged me about the EU's working group on encryption and law enforcement, and whether I'd consider applying.

Yes, this is up my street, but my tank is running rather dry at the moment for additional (especially unpaid governmental) work so, even if I were eligible, this is not one for me, I'm afraid.
