- Comment on ‘End-to-end encrypted’ smart toilet camera is not actually end-to-end encrypted 1 hour ago:
I love the phrase “data is encrypted at rest.”
Having worked with a lot of medical data, the rules are simple:
- Encrypt at rest
- Rest is when the database is off
- Never turn off the database
- Comment on The Algorithm That Detected a $610 Billion Fraud: How Machine Intelligence Exposed the AI Industry’s Circular Financing Scheme 1 day ago:
While true, what actually happened was interesting. Algorithm’s are not inherently bad, afterall.
At some point, someone wrote a rule to verify DSO against other tech companies, and trigger an automated short position to correct the market changed from an earnings call.
To me, that’s pretty cool. This wasn’t magic LLM AI, this was a smart engineer that programmed a system to discover problems as they arose.

I used to be this way, now I just don’t care. If I’m interesting enough to watch, have fun.
- Comment on Replace your boss ... before they replace you 3 days ago:
Perhaps that’s backwards. Maybe women make batter CEOs, so AI parody of failure doesn’t apply as strictly.

- Comment on Gmail can read your emails and attachments to train its AI, unless you opt out 1 week ago:
You’re probably right, but I figured if I can save some people from reading a “there’s no readon this is 12 screens long” article I would.
FWIW I dont use Gmail at all anyway.

Ours emails us this crap to. It’s going to be in my review when I move out. Ever since the Texas megacorp bought this place it has gone downhill.
- Comment on Google’s Sundar Pichai says the job of CEO is one of the ‘easier things’ AI could soon replace 2 weeks ago:
I would love to see a study where they ask a 2024 AI for business decisions around things that happened in 2025. How much you want to bet it already can?

- Comment on Breaking: Google is easing up on Android's new sideloading restrictions! 2 weeks ago:
Uhh no? Android is open source, from The Open Source Alliance. You’re conflating Google’s version of Android (Android + Google Mobile Services) with Android.
Android is Apache2 + GNU for the kernel. GMS is proprietary.
- Comment on Breaking: Google is easing up on Android's new sideloading restrictions! 2 weeks ago:
Huh?
Control of your phone does not equal Linux. Plenty of FOSS OS’s do that (including Android). And Android 16 brought Linux app support with GPU acceleration if you’re into that and want FreeCAD on your phone.
- Comment on Breaking: Google is easing up on Android's new sideloading restrictions! 3 weeks ago:
Android basically is a Linux phone, it’s a distro(ish).
It has a Linux kernel and a Linux-based OS wrapped around it. And just like you can compile FreeCAD for Debian or Arch, you can compile Fossify for Google Android, GrapheneOS, or LineageOS.
“Linux” phones in the sense you mean won’t be a “Debian” or “Arch”, they’ll be something else, just like Android.
- Comment on Passkeys Explained: The End of Passwords 3 weeks ago:
Not to mention Apple decided to make passkeys Airdropable. Fun.
I worked on a cool projected called FedID: fedid.me that creates a distributed identifier (DID) out in the world, federated with AvtivityPub, and gives you a key you can sign in with via OpenID Connect. It allows the DID to have multiple keys for multiple devices, and delegate authority, so losing a device/failure is no big deal.
That being said, Web passkeys can be stored in password managers, just like passwords.
- Comment on Breaking: Google is easing up on Android's new sideloading restrictions! 3 weeks ago:
Yes, but in 12 months a Linux phone won’t even be close to where even 4 versions ago Android is. As long as Graphene (or Lineage, or Fairphone, plenty of models) keeps the security updates covered, there are good options out there.
- Comment on Breaking: Google is easing up on Android's new sideloading restrictions! 3 weeks ago:
True, but what I’m saying is there is an open model. If another community of devs wan’t a “Linux-based mobile OS”, they can fork AOSP like Graphene did. IE complain about Google, not Android.
Graphene works. No tracking, tons of FOSS and commercial apps, it just lacks some banking apps. One gap, vs all that exist between now and another Linux phone.
LineageOS is another option for other phones, also far ahead of other Linux ideas.
- Comment on Breaking: Google is easing up on Android's new sideloading restrictions! 3 weeks ago:
Isn’t the first just AOSP? GrapheneOS ships Google free.
