The three types of data structures in computer science are FIFO, LIFO, and FAFO.
They should make a Fast & Furious spinoff solely focusing on Han. It’s time for Han’s Solo era.
If you're not using asbestos yet, you are being left behind. Everyone is using asbestos, there's no point in trying to fight it. Asbestos is the future.
The “World Wide Web” was a great name, in hindsight. I’ve been trapped here for decades.

I work at a public library. People who want to use AI seem to have no trouble doing so. People who don't want to use AI have a harder time. I crowdsourced and then finalized this document "How to disable or avoid intrusive AI" and then gave it a short URL: notoai.org Please pass along if it's useful
Famously when I want to hide my data exfil from foreign adversaries, I also do it using UDP via Netcat. No one would ever look at UDP via Netcat.
A thing I've noticed that is mildly annoying - Package repositories are falling victim to a very typical programming problem. Use datetimes instead of bools. Pypi? yanked: false crates.io? yanked: false npm? Lol deleted no metadata left nerd golang? Maybe the git timestamp on the go.mod change?
Just got this absolutely sick new art from Bolt Industries. I’d tag the artist but I can’t find him on Bluesky - ian_dunn@defcon.social for fediverse, though. Cant wait to get this hung up. The street lamp, the occasional lightning, the way the rain falls off the side of the umbrella. Very cool.
holy yikes. i've heard some legendary stories about Apple security. you don't even *think* about doing these things www.documentcloud.org/documents/28...
TechCrunch@techcrunch.com · 2mo ago🌶️ "This is the tip of the iceberg. Apple lacks visibility into what’s been happening behind closed doors at OpenAI, where such misconduct is normalized and exemplified by leadership." 🌶️

Working on Whose Slide related stuff for @defcon.bsky.social & @hackglasgow.bsky.social. Getting all sappy & sentimental going through photos. Without @0xda.de & @ajediday.bsky.social , this contest wouldn’t have lasted past Year One. I owe them EVERYTHING and I’ll love them forever.
‘Say yes and never do it’ Mel Brooks knew how to deal with the studios
![That’s probably the most famous scene in the movie, the campfire scene.
I know. He said, “You can’t punch a horse.” I said, “You’ll never see it again.” I kept saying, “You’re absolutely right. It’s out!” Then, when he left, I crumpled up all his notes, and I tossed it in the wastepaper basket. And John Calley, who was running [production at] Warner Bros. at the time, said, “Good filing.” That was the end of it. You say yes, and you never do it.
That’s great advice for life.
It is. Don’t fight them. Don’t waste your time struggling with them and trying to make sense to them. They’ll never understand.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:yvbszlkc7d75ixkid5g2zmw7/bafkreiar4z6n6pfk7wob2gznv6l6euw7ltxbetgto5drfd4wqzjalldp5m)
I just want to say that @xeiaso.net's "No way to prevent this" series is my favorite thing to see show up in my RSS reader. xeiaso.net/shitposts/no...

I unintentionally switched to Bing at work a while back and it’s insane how much I accepted Google’s enshittification. I search and then immediately start scrolling to find the thing I’m looking for. In Bing, the result I want is at the top like 9/10 times. Google requires a scroll 10/10 times.
I don’t think the problem is that everyone is treating it like an enterprise customer solution. I think the problem is that everyone is trying to play the “capture user credentials to lock them into our ecosystem” game. That’s why 1Password, Chrome, and Apple all want my passkey every single time.
jenn schiffer 😮💨@jennschiffer.com · 5mo agopasskey is imho one of the most important security developments that touch consumers and also one of the worst consumer rollouts i ever witnessed because every company involved treats everything like an enterprise customer solution

Anyone with a unifi network setup figure out how to tell what remote hosts / ports / whatever the different "applications" represent? Kind of insane that I can't seem to look inside an application definition to understand what would be blocked by enabling it...
The single goofiest scene from Hackers is, without debate, Plague getting out of a car to ride a skateboard down a menacingly foggy alleyway to snatch a floppy drive from Dade without stopping, then grab the car again to continue down the alleyway before disappearing into the fog.
I’ve been seeing a lot of people complaining about Linux projects introducing a field for age in user profiles, as a result of recent California laws. The laws are dumb, but the age field is performative. Linux has asked for your phone number when creating a new user for decades. It goes nowhere.
