And the good girls go to heaven, but the bad girls go everywhere...

No matter how low your expectations of how bad things are in Azure, prepare to have them reset quite a bit lower: https://isolveproblems.substack.com/p/how-microsoft-vaporized-a-trillion

This isn't just neglect, it's willful abandonment of basic security and stability standards my senior and middle management. Given the number of major breakins they've had in the last few years, there's little wonder as to what's behind that.

How Microsoft Vaporized a Trillion Dollars

Inside the complacency and decisions that eroded trust in Azure—from a former Azure Core engineer.

> Anthropic silently installed a spyware bridge [browser extension native messaging permission] on my machine

> The bridge runs outside the browser's sandbox at user privilege level [1], and Native Messaging hosts do not surface in any standard macOS process or permission UI […]

> This is the capability that Anthropic pre-stages on my laptop the moment I install their desktop application. Without telling me. Without asking me. Without offering me the chance to say no.

Anthropic secretly installs spyware when you install Claude Desktop — That Privacy Guy!

Anthropic's Claude Desktop silently installs a Native Messaging bridge into seven Chromium browsers, including browsers Anthropic's own documentation says it does not support, and browsers the user has not even installed.

AHHHHH!

*deep breath*

AHHHHHH!

My twisty summer gothic story When He Calls Your Name is a #HUGO FINALIST!

I am so beyond happy—I’m so proud of this story & so hoped it would find its people.

At last I can announce that AUTOMATIC NOODLE is a Hugo Award finalist! It's also a finalist for the Locus and Nebula Awards! This has never happened to me before, and I can't tell you how much I appreciate all you fine nerds and friends for voting for this little book about robots who just want to make noodles. I spent many late nights on Mastodon while writing, and got live feedback on some of my ideas from many of you! Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!!

I’m going to have to tap the strategic popcorn reserves for this one 🍿🍿🍿

#MakeShitMonday, in which the next #crochet project is already coming along nicely... @mbroome and I have been road-tripping for outdoor adventures, and long drives are prime crochet time for me!

I previously made a scaled-up version of this [Branching Out Shawlette](https://www.mooglyblog.com/branching-out-shawlette/) in a lovely [Plymouth Yarn Avita](https://www.plymouthyarn.com/yarn/avita-item-418-limited-quantities-available) alpaca-blend yarn - which turned out *incredibly* soft, but too fuzzy to properly showcase the interesting branching lace pattern inset between panels.

So I'm trying again with their [Baby Alpaca Sport-EC](https://www.plymouthyarn.com/yarn/baby-alpaca-sport-ec-item-0745), which is similarly soft but considerably smoother - really happy with how it's looking so far...

Last week, I put away all my #caving and underground vertical gear that we used in the cave rescue course, then pulled out #hiking, #climbing, #paddling, and hotel travel stuff for that week's adventures.
This past Monday, I packed climbing, #backpacking, #rappelling, and car #camping gear for *this* week's adventures.
I'm tempted to go #biking tomorrow, just so I will have touched basically every piece of non-snow-related outdoor gear I own within three weeks! 😁

Also I keep meaning to post about this stuff, but we are too busy *doing* it (and packing for it, and unpacking / cleaning gear from it) for me to sit down and write about it. Maybe next week... 😇
