I went to the optometrist today. While waiting for my appointment, I scanned all the little kids’ frames. They are just so goddamn adorable I can’t even.
The No Kings protest next weekend is on my mind. I'm wracking my brain for what to write on my sign. It's hard to succinctly express my plea for people to be decent to one another. The top of my list so far is "Billionaires are a Policy Failure"
"We use debian, that should be age verification enough"
I wholeheartedly agree with all these positive reviews of the new Apple MacBooks Neo, especially the part where nobody should buy another Apple product while Tim Cook is CEO.
I have questions about this phishing email. Do you suppose the sender is just disgruntled and not putting in their best effort? Or maybe they accidentally left the AI system message to "You're an adolescent boy playing a prank on your schoolmate and can't resist screwing around, even if it undermines your clickthrough rate."

Over the last few weeks, I've been migrating from 1Password Business to BitWarden Enterprise. After experiencing the difference in the way that these (and other) password managers integrate with the web browser, I'm left with two conclusions:

- Web browser vendors are actively hostile to extensions and they secretly wish they didn't have to sully their products to support any grotesque code from plebeians.

- Web developers are being instructed by product owners to perform security theater in the login UX such that a user who does not manually type their shitty password into an injected shadow DOM React form control is proper fucked.

Yes, I still use passwords. I'm not going to do free debugging when configuring Passkeys with eight different browser implementations on a dozen devices.

I think about this tweet at least once a day.

It amuses me that my Contacts.app record has my ICQ number. Ya just never know when that's going to come in handy.

ICYMI: I'm offering a discount on my training program that teaches the difference between PDT and PST. It's a two-day seminar/workshop offering 12 CEUs, honored by most professional organizations. Just enter PDTPSTWTF20 at checkout!
I walked around the conference in Full Walter all day. I love that some people get a kick out of it. One guy yelled across a busy lobby “SHOMER SHABBOS!”
The conference has been somewhat unexpected in that I discovered some tools and techniques I hadn’t heard of. It’s fun to be surprised—as long as it’s not production. #scale23x
