Seeing the Cookie Monster on a C64 at 5 was my gateway drug to tech.

The synthesis of ideas, emergence, and complex systems fascinates me.

He talked about electric cars. I don't know anything about cars, so when people said he was a genius I figured he must be a genius.

Then he talked about rockets. I don't know anything about rockets, so when people said he was a genius I figured he must be a genius.

Now he talks about software. I happen to know a lot about software & Elon Musk is saying the stupidest shit I've ever heard anyone say, so when people say he's a genius I figure I should stay the hell away from his cars and rockets.

Infosec folks, I ask for your help. I'm looking for evidence of package thieves using deauth attacks to disable Ring/Nest/other home cameras to knock out evidence of them stealing from someone's porch. I'm aware this is potentially possible and I know of examples where it appears to have happened, but I'm looking for firmer, specific examples.

Do you know of any? Thank you! If you don't have my contact info already, you can find secure ways to reach me in my bio.

I just talked for almost two hours with #ChatGPT about #Rust, programming, and #OpenBSD. It was an surprisingly interesting discussion as it follows the flow and remembers the context. I asked it some of my Rust interview questions because there were some similarities: it tends to answer generically first but you can dig deeper with follow-up questions and get pretty good answers. I actually learned some things from the answers today. Totally fascinating.

If you’re one of the tens of millions of hardworking people wondering why your $10K or $20K student loan forgiveness is on hold, here’s why.

A GOP plaintiff—who himself had $48K in PPP loans forgiven—is suing because he only got only $10K—not $20K—in student loan forgiveness.🤦🏽‍♂️ So he’s suing to burn it all down. The GOP hypocrisy and war on working people is truly a thing to behold.

And this is why we can’t have nice things. Smh.

We've been trained to believe that the only way to connect with others is through somebody else's vision of what #SocialMedia and #Community are.

What a cringe-fest!

Elon Musk trying so hard to hurl insulting zingers at Mastodon. But he just comes across as incredibly awkward and dorky.

He also fails at one of the first rules of PR: don't acknowledge the little guy lest you turn them into the big guy.

The EU website is down after voting to declare Russia a state sponsor of terrorism. Four hours ago "Anonymous Russia" and Killnet called for followers to DDoS that site, called the EU "sponsors of homosexuality."
