Really was one of the dumbest and most harmful things possible for “virtue signaling” to become some kind of epithet. Sending externally visible signals that you are engaging in pro-social behavior is normal, natural, and good, it’s how society works. Other people can’t read your fucking mind.

Absolutely surreal watching internet culture move from understanding how fucked up and evil the RIAA was to vigorously sucking the hairy balls of intellectual property
Absolutely surreal to have lived through the Napster days and watched as the titans of industry moved hell and high water to lock down any possible chance that someone's song might get swapped online without giving the studios a cut and now those same people are just like "well we gotta steal music"

It’s weird to live in a time when basic principles like cruelty is wrong, cheating is empty & the idea that curiosity, generosity, originality, the satisfaction of earned accomplishments & loving intimacy are the center of a good life feel like countercultural concepts

IIIII AM THE VERY MODEL OF A MAJOR MODERN CRIMINAL

STOCK VILLAIN takes the stage, sings:
I’m an early modern villain,
I love wickedness and crime!
I gloat about my vile deeds
(Which I do all the time)
And in case the viewer’s kind of slow,
I’ll even make it rhyme!

Modern writers' workshops: "Don't make your villain too over the top or on the nose! People don't do evil for evil's sake"
Shakespeare's plays: "Hi audience! I'm the villain! My favorite pastimes are puns and murder! Evil is so fun. Watch me do some now”

one of the most important things to learn, if you're out there doing things:
you don't get to talk about it.
you don't get to brag about it, you don't get to tell your friends, you don't get drinks bought for you in the bar off the story.

I have 80% of a design for passkey-based age encryption.
I think it can be pretty smooth and secure! Same UI as passkeys, works cross-device just like logins, using the PRF extension.
Also, if you use a hardware token, you can use a companion CLI, and can choose to require an additional secret.

Hot take: the cybersecurity industry wastes an incalculable amount of effort "remediating vulnerabilities" in code because a library used has some "vulnerability" that can't actually be exploited in the way it's used in the application.
