Oh, no.

I bet someone could make a chatbotnet.

I had three responses to this.

1) Instagram had end-to-end encryption? Why?

2) Any social media app's chat can be end-to-end encrypted if you just layer your own on encryption on top.

3) #2 is how we revert back to the days of PGP key signing parties. Ugh.

I bet AI could be useful for recognizing ghost jobs.

Ugh. I hate it when I have a useful application of a horrible technology.

So, I'm sick. I've been sick for nearly a week now, which is kind of part for the course. Any cold causes me to get a sinus infection and that always tries to move down into bronchitis.

Because of masking, this is literally the first time I've had a respiratory infection (that I'm aware of) since 2019. For context, I'd have this happen 4-5 times per year in the before-times. The most likely source of infection is a cold fomid from takeout.

What's absolutely shocking is how different the experience has been for me. Substantially lower fevers, less exhaustion, less congestion, and an overall lower likelihood of needing antibiotics. It sucks, but it sucks substantially less than it used to.
