- Comment on Apple’s Craig Federighi on the long road to the iPad’s Mac-like multitasking 5 weeks ago:
I would have absolutely bought an iPad instead of a Surface Pro if I could run desktop MacOS applications on it when docked to desktop peripherals. I want one single convergent device for tablet and desktop.

Human brains lose to computerized chess all the time, though. So I guess this is a win for AI tech bros?

- Comment on Hacker advertises alleged database of 89 million Steam 2FA codes 2 months ago:
I don’t mind that they have 2FA features in their app. I mind that using SMS for this has been known to be bad practice for years and they’ve tried to leverage that insecurity to push users to the Steam app. It’s reckless and this current data breach is only possible because of it.

Shit like this needs to be called out by decent men, directly to the faces of the offenders. Challenge their belief that all men are like that. It’s so disheartening to know that I stand out amongst the crowd for treating women with basic dignity and respect. I try so hard to teach my boys about respecting boundaries.
