- Comment on Microsoft AI CEO pushes back against critics after recent Windows AI backlash — "the fact that people are unimpressed ... is mindblowing to me" 21 hours ago:
They really didn’t think the unwashed masses would figure it out in time. Ego is a hell of a drug.
- Comment on Windows 11 to add an AI agent that runs in background with access to personal folders, warns of security risk 1 day ago:
Bold to assume your registry won’t restore last known ‘good’ config. Linux mint with quickemu is a great way to use Windows if you have to.

windows 11 big button status confirmed.

You really have to know some of these xenophobic, out of shape boomers to understand how gay oral sex will short circuit their brain. They know that people like me will bring up the ole gluck gluck 3000 at the mere mention of that douche’s name, so they’ll do what their meal team six cowardly self was going to do no matter what: quietly disavow now that it’ll blow back on them (pun totally intended)
- Comment on Anyone? 4 days ago:
Super helpful addition to the discussion. Throw a dart at a map and you’ll land within an inch of a despot or despot-wannabe. Most likely, we’re witnessing a fisher-price reaction to two things: imminent invasion of taiwan and AI gobbling up entry level work. You’re more arrogant than your previous comment suggests if you think what you’re witnessing doesn’t have much meaning to whatever economy and society you call home.

At surface, sure. But this is the kind of thing that can actually swing his base. I’m expecting flags and red hats to quietly get put away tbvh. This could be a very good thing for the world.

fun fact: blue powerade has BVO (brominated vegetable oil) in it… same with subway sandwich bread. It’s the same stuff they use to make carpets fire retardant. turns out it makes other things retardant, too.

Remember folks; the proper retort to any mention of trump going forward is “you mean the guy that sucked bill clinton’s dick?”
- Comment on When "AI" content becomes indistinguishable from human-made content, is there, philosophically speaking, any meaningful differences between the two? 6 days ago:
From an article about the song: “AI artists won’t require things that a real human artist will require, and once companies start considering it and looking at bottom lines, I think that’s when artists should rightly be concerned about it,” she added.
That quote explains all political theatre currently making the rounds. UBI or soylent green - which will win out?

Maybe they tried living free and died (or got life in prison for having a joint)

you forgot the “, kid?” or “, bub?” at the end, but otherwise accurate.

facts. give me impolite kindness 100% of the time.
- Comment on Passkeys Explained: The End of Passwords 1 week ago:
hot take: end users will be more likely to adopt security keys (or device attested passkey which = security key). Physical security, out-of-bounds cryptography to defeat AitM attacks (fake landing pages where six digit codes are stolen and silently used in perpetuity by the bad actor)
source: my job is to try to get end users to put strong MFA on all the things.
- Comment on Also pretty poor, with shitty health care coverage...am I getting warm? 1 week ago:
getting warm requires money to pay for heating fuel, OP
- Comment on U.S. Tech Layoffs Hit Two-Decade High in October 1 week ago:
I spend way too much time living with this obvious truth-to-come’s future impact on my children. The AI bubble will pop and bring the market down with it, and there will be a net to catch everyone just like the ones that prevent suicides at the FOXCONN factories. I truly hope my children never taste (or become) soylent green but literally everything is on the table after seeing how greedy and cowardly nearly every human is when push comes to shove over the last 5 years.
The dehumanization frog is being boiled right in front of us, and its way less sophisticated than I ever thought it would be. project2025.observer does a great job at tracking the totality of the christofascist endgame IMO. Dehumanization being normalized will allow them to move on to political opponents heading into midterms.
- Comment on God ****** dammit, here we go again 1 week ago:
As someone who consults in the IT Security space, It’s bad out there. Contractors and BYOD companies are downright sheepish in asking their outsourced employees to do anything security-related to their devices. The biggest attack vector is allowed unfettered remote access (and therefore the whole company)
I still can’t get over how quickly companies-at-large have abandoned VPN Servers (removing network trust from the list of options as well)
I’m down to managed browsers via IdP, and I just can’t wait for the objections to that as well. People out here offering their faces to leopards. Certificate-based MFA on all the things IMO - passwords shouldnt matter (but six digit MFA codes aren’t immune to fake landing pages and siphoned MFA tokens that don’t expire)
- Comment on The Internet is Dying. We Can Still Stop It 2 weeks ago:
We’re all far too dumb to be sharing our thoughts so widely and easily. The internet needs to go.
- Comment on People who rely on their phones/computers to tell time probably forgot or didn't realize that a Daylight Saving Time-Change even happened, some might've forgotten that DST existed at all. 2 weeks ago:
My car even switched automatically this year. Why brain gud when no need?
- Comment on Don't fix the problem just change the parameters 3 weeks ago:
It’s getting so bad that some people even put the period INSIDE the quotation mark at the end of a sentence!
- Comment on Is there any way the average American can insulate themselves from the AI bubble bursting? 4 weeks ago:
I’d be more concerned with insulating yourself against the AI bubble not popping if I were you.
The good news is the strategy works for both scenarios. Hyperlocal renaissance or bust.

They also hiss like snakes when they feel threatened. I’ve done many things in life, but being accepted by a flock of geese in my poultry farming days is way up there on the list of things I’m proud of.

- Comment on Password manager by Amazon 3 months ago:
This isn’t the flex you think it is, OP. 99% of cybercriminals are also cowards. Physical security of ANY kind beats even the best password managers.
If you don’t know what lattice-based encryption is and how to purchase it through NordVPN, start reading up because encryption as we know it isn’t long for this world. Pretty sure they already dragged their feet too long on Bitcoin’s algorithm but the day cracking common ciphers is within the grasp of quantum clusters is the day we all become Amish. Plan accordingly!

people are going to share keys,
get ahead of it and sell discounted bukkakeys
you could probably even have a bundle called the “family plan” for the real sickos
I should get into masturbation regulation marketing!
