I think they're yelling at the bridge guy precisely because they know he's one of the few people who will listen. They want him to take responsibility for protecting them. They want anybody who understands this world to do something because they know the bad actors don't care. I think part of this is how people ask for the structures that they need in order to feel safe. It's just unfortunate that it takes the form of yelling and assuming bad faith.

Printer goes like woof woof, woof woof, woof woof, woof woof and awoof, awoof

tired: “error: cannot borrow ‘x’ as mutable more than once at a time”

inspired: “with this reference’s creation, the thread of memory safety is severed. refactor your code to restore the weave of fate, or persist in the doomed world you have created”

many of America's largest companies now require job applicants to do a personality test where you pretend you are a CG humanoid blue alien and answer "me" or "not me" to statements like "things happen to me" and "personal best"

so you're telling me a trans coded this video?

@scarlet Beware the transcoding pipeline

so I'm looking into how the keyboard for the Wyse-50 dumb terminal works, and it turns out there's no protocol, no smarts.

Instead they use a 12-pin (11 pin?) connector, and the keyboard has two LS156 demultiplexers, and a CD4051 multiplexer/demultiplexer.

So what they do is scan the keyboard matrix, like any keyboard IC does... except the main CPU is doing it, not the keyboard's smarts (since it has none)

hey girl, are you a utility? because you've turned deferred maintenance into an art form

So as I understand it #noindex and #nobot is no longer enough so now I have to add fucking #nobridge to my profile. I’m sure some very smart and special big boy will invent another way to repost content without asking and I’ll have to add another hashtag in 6 months.

I can't stress enough the importance of @maia's findings, whose blog post goes into more detail about the incredibly crap security of TheTruthSpy's infrastructure and the risks that this presents to victims.

But also, because this line brought me the one and only laugh I've ever had related to investigating stalkerware.
