I did not realise our current prime minister was that much younger than me. Led by donkeys? Ruled by kids!
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.
I don't remember if I've posted it here before, but this is Tashville the coyote at Horseshoe Bend, Arizona in 2018.

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. 🤷
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.
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.
Speak for yourself pal, I need my negs so that I can throw them in a big box with all the others and never, ever get around to sorting them out. As it should be.
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.

Especially at a convention as busy and nonstop as Confuzzled, it's the moments of quiet that can matter the most.
