In 2018, a secure communications app called Anom started to gain popularity among organized criminals. Soon, top tier drug traffickers were using it all over the world. Because they thought their messages were secure, smugglers and hitmen coordinated high stakes crimes across the platform. But Anom had a secret: it was secretly run by the FBI. For years Joseph Cox has investigated the inside story of Anom, speaking to people who coded the app, those who sold it, criminals who chatted across it, and the FBI agents who surreptitiously managed it. This new talk, building on details from his recent book DARK WIRE, will include never-before-published technical details on how the Anom network functioned, how the backdoor itself worked, and how Anom grew to such a size that the FBI started to lose control of its own creation.
It will also reflect on how police have entered a new phase of compromising entire encrypted phone networks, with little to no debate from the public, and provide critical insight on what really happens when authorities introduce a backdoor into a telecommunications product.

“Study Finds Consumers Are Actively Turned Off by Products That Use AI”
https://futurism.com/the-byte/study-consumers-turned-off-products-ai
> When AI is mentioned, it tends to lower emotional trust, which in turn decreases purchase intentions
Like I've been saying, we don't need the term "slop". Consumers have decided that "AI" in its entirety is bullshit. And, honestly, they’re right.
Researchers have found that including the words "artificial intelligence" in product marketing is a major turn-off for consumers.Victor Tangermann (Futurism)
Today is #EarthOvershootDay – the day we've exhausted all the natural resources that the Earth can produce for 2024.
We would need 1.7 Earths to sustain our current rate of consumption.
This is why our #EUGreenDeal aims to give more back to nature than we take away from it.
Every one of those things was said about me as a child/teen. Every. One. Of. Those. Things.
And at 56, I still haven’t completely recovered from the damage that those words caused.
“Words can’t hurt you IS A DAMNED LIE!”
🥺
Sorry. I’ll go back to my corner now.
My Blåhaj is getting a washing today so I was searching up at what temperature and such to wash him at...
...Second result I got was for my own blog post from last year when I washed him. I completely forgot I had written the exact washing instructions I had used previously there, but thanks to younger me for doing that.

Don't want to come across as begging but I'm scared. 130+ jobs applied for, 2 interviews, 2 rejections. I know it sucks for everyone right now but I really need work.
Laid off while recovering from long COVID. Remote worker since 2015, or blue state with relocation assistance. Project 2025 is on the horizon and fucking terrified because even if Kamala wins, I don't think she's going to protect trans people in red states. At this point a month left before both health insurance & money run out.
All the usual SRE stuff plus all sorts of indepth Linux stuff, actually enjoy cursed bash and regexes. Not the World's Greatest Rockstar Dev but can get by in Python, C, and Go. Lots of monitoring, observability, and big data stuff, also done some heavy security work in the past, plus AuDHD hyperfocus on demand and willing to learn anything.
Will find and fix any problem in a company, if it's technical, political, or something else.
“Hey friend, looking for a good time? A little coke, maybe some glitz?”
I hadn’t been propositioned by a drug dealer in so long that I’d taken a shortcut through this alley without even thinking about it.
“Nah, I’m just heading home. Wait, have you got any novocaine?”
“That’s a weird one. Toothache?”
“Yeah.”
“You want one of these. Tooth regenerator.”
“Bull puckey, no such thing or dentists would be out of business”
“No shit sibling, who do you think is killing all the dealers around here.”

I keep repeating that in my head over and over again.
This is Adam (the fox) with his friend Tony (the wolf) when they were younger, back when life was stress-free for the two of them. They both went to a place called "Sixteen Mile Creek". It was a long hike to get there, requiring them to walk open fields with green hills visible in the distance. As they walked through the fields, they passed by a few electric pylons, something Adam had never been so close to in-person until that day.
Eventually, they reached a wooded area at the opposite end of the field from where they had started. They spent nearly the entire day there, having fun and not worrying about anything. However, when Adam returned home, his parents were extremely upset with him for being gone so long without telling them. Despite the scolding, the experience remained a nice memory for Adam.
Adulthood reached us, and we are surviving it in our own way, leading with our anxiety and daily stress. It's healthy to escape a little bit from what we think is our reality, and see the real world. Why not to keep sharing those cheering memories, even now, and go to walk to places like this with a friend, to the point that there is nothing else more to talk about and you just enjoy that moment with them, and to see that all the stress and anxieties are things that only live in our heads, they are not real. The cold wind in our face is real.
Time is insignificant and we must accept it. Spending time with our friends doing nothing is not wasting time, it is enjoying our life.
Digital. Procreate.

Does AI entice people to buy?
No. No it does not. People are less likely to buy things when AI is a part of the product description.
Companies may unintentionally hurt their sales by including the words “artificial intelligence” when describing their offerings that use the technology, according to a study led by WSU researchers.WSU Insider
