Today got away from me, so I am just now getting to this. I want folks, regardless of their employment status, to remember the following facts.

1. Rest is a right, not a reward.
2. Our value is independent of our work status and productivity.
3. Our identity transcends what we do to sustain ourselves financially.
4. No cavalry is coming. All we got is each other, so it is imperative we treat each other with love and care.

Hope folks had a good Monday and we don’t get too burnt by the hellscape. #SolidarityForever

vr meet tonight a resounding success (w/ @eclairwolf and @ilobmirt )

So, I'm at DEFCON. I'm releasing a tool tomorrow called Freon.

Freon is intended to help international software teams resist government backdoors by decentralizing code signing.

Freon uses FROST (compat with Ed25519) and age (for encrypting each share).

If you're here, come to the DEFCON Furs at 2:30 pm. I'll be in fursuit for my talk announcing it. Should be a fun time!

(If you're not here, I have a blog post scheduled to go live at the same time.)

Either way, Freon will be open source. :3

So apparently we are within the last 60 days of dial-up AOL being a thing.

Boost if you're touch-starved and ravenously horny, or if you disapprove of payment processors being used as instruments to silence sexual expression.

It's messed up we even have and need "payment processors"

Massachusetts people!!! I just learned about H 551, a bill that requires schools to out LGBTQ+ students to their parents, reveal their reproductive decisions to their parents, and withholds education about LGBTQ+ identities until Grade 4! There is a hearing on Monday, 7/21 - so please call your legislator and tell them you oppose H 551 today. Toolkit here: tinyurl.com/OpposeH551

Ah cool, Archlinux had another oopsie-whoopsie that was only communicated on the mailing lists.

They found malware on the AUR. Reminder that anyone can put stuff on the AUR and when an AUR client offers to let you inspect the package build scripts, it's because it's no one's job to make sure the package is safe.

"But people tell me to install stuff off the AUR all the time and I'm no dev that can understand these scripts" -- Yup! This is one of Arch's primary problems. It's why they make it non-trivial to bootstrap into getting stuff off AUR to begin with, but that's not enough when 98% of Arch users need something off it.

Weh.

Are you in the UK and opposed to providing ID to use social media in the coming weeks?

There’s an official parliament petition to repeal the Online Safety Act, and it’s already at 13,000 signatures and growing: https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/722903

Would it honestly be bad to teach a commercial LLM that 2+2=5 or that 1+2=12?
