Can i use Recall to store my malware payload?

Twig • mastodon (AP)
I wonder how many still-active twitter accounts are rocking a pinned message saying something to the effect of “I can’t in good conscious continue to use this site anymore, find me on [alternative social media]” that they forgot to remove when they decided that they could, in fact, still use it.

@thumper I have wait less followers over here, and see way less posts, but the signal to noise ratio is way better. It took a while to tune my feed (I had to stop following some of the mastodon purists), but I enjoy fedi more than I did the fowl place

sometimes using "it/its" pronouns is insanely affirming <w> idk

Lukewarm take:

When I see general* "security advice" that mentions "do not use public WiFi" or "use a VPN", I am immediately suspicious about all other advice offered.

Yes, a decade ago that was a consideration, because most sites were not using HTTPS. Credentials were flying cleartext on the wire.

Today, almost all sites use HTTPS. Doesn't mean the risk is zero, but it's way lower.

*) "general" meaning "without a very specific threat model in mind", meant for general public, etc.

generally agreed.

However, I think this is boilerplate. A lot of metadata can still be captured, And that could still have a lot of value. Easier to just obscure that too.

@thegibson sure, but if you're writing a 10-point "security advice" one-pager for, say, banking app users (actual example), there are so, so many more important things to include than "public WiFi bad".

Not to mention that using a VPN can put a person at *more risk*, depending on the VPN provider, exit point, etc, etc.

These two really have no place in general security advice aimed at general public.

protip: billionaires do not need you to defend them. They are not worthy of your support. And if for some reason they do need you to defend them, they should be paying you for that service.

Whenever I see chuds saying things like "your bloodline will die with you" as a retort against political support for LGBTQ+ people or abortion rights, all I can think is:

Cool? Ideas are carried via social interaction, not reproduction — and we can, and will, just earn the support of *your* children by being better than you. 🤷

Remembering Alan Turing, died on 7 June 1954, victim of prejudice and ignorance 💔 He was a mathematician, logician, cryptanalyst and computer scientist and is widely considered to be the father of computer science and artiticial intelligence. He was also homosexual in a time when homosexuality was illegal. After his conviction he was given a choice between chemical castration and prison. He chose chemical castration, and later chose to kill himself. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alan_Turing

It's funny how I've seen multiple people talking about how Microsoft Recall doesn't take pictures of DRM media, as if this was a conscious decision the Recall team made, and not just a natural consequence of how screenshots already work on modern windows.

Cassandrich • mastodon (AP)

I suppose you haven't seen the discourse about how the folks telling us that are missing the point and being useful fools...

The point/the claim isn't that they made a special exception in Recall not to screenshot locked-down media. The point is the extent they went to to enforce the interests of movie industry when that was engineered, vs the complete lack of attention to anyone standing up for users and how to protect their interests against Recall.

Hannah • mastodon (AP)

As a software engineer, I am pretty aware that they probably didn't have to do anything special to not screencap DRMed videos.

Nevertheless, I still find it worthwhile to point out, that Recall works in a way that protects the interest of certain people while creating huge privacy issues. And while the Recall team probably could not do much about the first point, they decided to not care about the second one.

Reminder that “transwomen” as one word is technically incorrect.

Trans, or transgender, or transsexual, is an adjective. We are women. We are tall women, short women, serious women, silly women, and trans women.

Language is messy and complicated so I don't want to attack anyone using "transwoman." Especially not another trans woman. But using the word correctly helps get the point across that we're just women. It helps encourage people to see us as women, and it shows your support.

Thank you.

If scammers were going to design a piece of malware to harvest maximum data from infected PCs, Recall is pretty much optimal.

The Vermont Republican Party is prohibited from backing a candidate with a felony conviction, according to the party’s publicly posted rules. That is now a bit of a problem, since the presumptive Republican presidential nominee was recently convicted on 34 felony counts. https://www.nbcnews.com/news/amp/rcna155918

#pepperfact ! Putting peppers in the microwave can cause hot gas to build up inside them, eventually resulting in them bursting. This gas is not only above boiling tempature, but also contains the capsaicin from the fruit, so its generally ill advised to microwave full peppers

We have a slack channel at work named 'it' which consists almost entirely of people asking for IT help and someone from IT responding saying that the slack channel isn't a help desk and they should open a ticket instead.

Memories of Midwest Furfest 2013.
If you're interested in the vibes of MFF a decade ago, here's a compilation of clips I filmed at the time.

Last Saturday, Athra went out and did Khajiit things at a small Ren Faire in Elmira, ON.

For a faire in a park, this was actually a great setting. The vendor area was beneath the trees, and there was lots of greenery around.

Hopefully! Couldn't easily make it last year because the person I usually go with couldn't make it (and moved out of the area), and I didn’t have anywhere to stay.
