27+ year information security “professional”.

I like non-alcoholic #beer, #gardening and yardwork, playing guitar, and reading #books (mystery, thriller, suspense, #scifi, fantasy, astrophysics, and cosmology).

Stage IIIB #ColorectalCancer survivor.

I'm a middle-aged, middle class, Christian, husband, dad, doggy-daddy, and friend. I’m supporter of #LGBTQIA rights, a #BlackLivesMatter advocate, a believer in #TransRights and proponent of equality. I support #Ukraine.

@Vivaldi, keep this up. This is what people want. They don't want AI integration in everything.

Next, Open Source the browser. Opening up the source will gain a lot of new users. I can almost guarantee this. Each time I post something about Vivaldi here on Mastodon, the main comment I get is, "I won't use Vivaldi because it's not Open Source."

I just switched by browser to #Vivaldi because they refuse to include AI

I got a text from a "lawyer" saying they had trademarked my business name and I had to either pay them or "cease using the name immediately." I googled the phone number and it came up associated with a group of scammers so I screen shot that with a "This you?" message. He responded, "Have a blessed day." 🤣

@campuscodi The "#FileFix" technique has an nonsensical name, but the design decision by #Microsoft which makes it possible is absolutely ridiculous. It at least makes sense to let the user run an executable from in the "Run" dialog; letting the user run an executable from the Location bar makes no sense. What conceivable use case did some engineer have in mind? Or did they just re-use an API without thinking?

They implemented a security defect by design, by violating the Principle of Least Astonishment. Microsoft never ceases to amaze.
