tfw I haven't heard a peep from my rant that I embedded in a binary on my GitHub about infosec poisoning the hacker scene. For curious eyes only indeed. :)

I really hate the infinite scroll design of social media. Give me a fucking stopping point. My ADHD ass can't handle no stopping point, I will just keep going until I pass out!

Are Americans aware that down here in Mexico we’ve been getting bombarded for months with ads of Kristi Noem telling us to our face that we’re out welcome in the US, and that these ads even found their way into our national TV broadcasts

Because I feel like I have seen nobody mention it

Haven’t got a phrack zine at defcon yet? No worries!

Here’s where to ask for them:
Reg desk, hardware hacking village, Saturday 4p book signing at NoStarch booth, or Sunday at noon at our talk. Also any village that wants some boxes to hand out tomorrow can get them from QM!

A comic of two foxes, one of whom is rosy pink, the other is a peach-colour baby. Rose is looking at Peach gently, while baby Peach looks back at her with full toddler defiance.
Rose: Okay sweetie, could you please get in the car for me?
Peach: No.

Looking sick of the situation, Rose begins to forcibly drag Peach into the car as gently as she can, while Peach fights back, dragging on the ground.
Rose: Can you please not act like you are getting kidnapped.
Peach: This is an insult to my autonomy!

Meanwhile, Blue and Green are sitting in Blue's car, watching the situation.
Rose, off-panel: There are people waiting for this parking spot.
Peach, also out of view: Death before dishonour!
Blue: We should just find another spot.
Green: No, I want to see who wins.

DEFCON has been captured by special interests that aren't hackers. It's an infosec conference now. Go to smaller conferences in the US who embody the hacker spirit like @hushcon.com

So it turns out that Cuomo's slam at Mamdani's lodgings wasn't just a know-nothing misrepresentation of homelessness, rent control, and rent stabilization, it was also a stealth boosting of the landlord lobby's coming messaging on why rent stabilization should be gutted.

I think the concern about LLMs making up citations is unfounded. If you find a non-existent citation, you can just ask an LLM to quickly generate that missing article

Don't care that Trump issued the anti-censorship executive order, I'm still publishing my trans propaganda. Maybe soon Itch will be an option on where to publish it again. You can read it here: www.whitehouse.gov/presidential...

It may make you feel dead inside. Here's a reminder that sensation is from having your dopamine severely adjusted, going from high to baseline can feel like whiplash. Please make sure to talk to your doctor about adjustments if that happens. Speaking as someone on risperidone for schizophrenia.
