Remote attestation is a heavily underdiscussed threat to computing freedom. People often mistakenly dismiss it with "I will run my own fork (of the OS or browser) / Magisk", not understanding that with hardware attestation, you're literally unable to 1/

Apple and Google are gradually expanding their use of hardware-based attestation. They're convincing a growing number of services to adopt it. Google's Play Integrity API and Apple's App Attest API are very similar. Apple brought it to the web via Privacy Pass, which Google intends on doing too.

After "film trilogy that dropped a critical plot point exclusively via timed Fortnite event" and "video game series whose story only makes sense if you're aware of the events of a canon pachinko machine", I feel like there are whole frontiers of user-hostile narrative design waiting to be explored.

is this site still small enough to have universally-recognized Personalities

the discover tab and keyword searches are effectively a free zoo

"i didn't know pick me men existed" back in my day we called them goony beard-men

Some bangers in this. > If I can get you to consider an argument that is not well-founded to begin with, I'll eventually trick you. I used to have a catalogue of "questions that pull you deeper into their framing the harder you think about them"

strangest internet incursion into daily life is the statue avatar AI art on the lighters at the tobacco store like they have some sort of visor that i'm pretty sure takes after the rainbow visor sunglasses from twitter and a few bitcoin symbols based honestly

looking forward to this; i don't have the brainpower atm to predict whether it will be good or bad but hopefully a step away from reliance on a single identity arbiter

absolutely stoked to be doing this - lots of good protocol governance stuff coming over the next few months

then the [redacted] spoke to me and said: all those mysteries you sought lay bare before you and i said: not now i'm playing factorio

i saw someone talking about ai slop and i realized something: from the art enjoyer perspective, ai art means that art goes from a relatively scarce commodity to plentiful but mid. finding art one likes becomes a matter of sorting through, instead of searching (cont.)

what a strangely plain world these here specimens live in

i would like to wish a very pleasant GET FUCKED LMAO to all the Polygon journalists just laid off

i sound like i am having a severe case of sour grapes, but the benefits of attention don't look as useful as harmful the downsides seem too many wills pressing upon it would impede The Craft

the important part is that isn't merely a difference in priorities -- i honestly believe that you can't be a notable coolguy without fully committing your mind to live in the virtual realm generated by the aggregate of other people's worldmodels c.f. simulacra levels

for every type of guy there is a media cumwad version of that type of guy, - whose primary skill is mass communication - who possesses the thing it is styled after as a secondary skill at best, but usually merely as aesthetic flair beware the Diplomat

fewer and fewer slots are being taken up by oof-ow-oof processing

so used to my brain being underclocked that i get surprised when a thought puts 3-5 things in working memory

you SHOULD culturally appropriate whatever you see fit, and virtue signaling that you don't just tells me you don't know shit

same guy: “Spirit work”/“spiritwork” is intended to be a very general and non-appropriative term in the very general space of shamanism (cf. bodywork, “energy work,” etc.) Sometimes the terms “shamanship” or “shamanhood” are used, to reduce the implicature that “shamanism” is a single “thing.”

there is a certain kind of person that says "bodymind" and the term always irritated me, even though it fills a useful conceptual hole i just saw "bodymindworld" and i don't think i can handle the cringe if you're trying to be precise with words (great) at least spend some thought on aesthetics

it's not that Halo is the best game in terms of gameplay, but the original game is the king of a particular vibe and if it doesn't send you to the turingcore astral plane you might not have a soul

what have you built lately? i wrote parsers*. i write a parser every time i get mad. i have written two parsers *ok to be fair they are far from finished

might try posting like it's april 2023 again
