The first half isn't especially strong either; "cryptography people being into cryptography" is not really compelling. Using PGP and having an RSA in Perl shirt was standard 90s libertarian CS person stuff, basically everyone on cypherpunks fit that description.

The whole AI-powered "algorithmic choice" thing kind of breaks down when a) most of your userbase hates anything AI and b) no normal person wants to "choose an algorithm"

I really don't want to have to buy new frames, but just having this brand on my regular glasses is becoming a social liability.

The entire thing with Assassin's Creed is the gameplay is fun but the story is awful and contrived to the point of being incoherent. Take away the gameplay, and you have...this

Sempre que leio algo em inglês como "cherry-picking" no meio de um texto em português, o meu cérebro repete isso internamente com a voz de Gregório.

There were once valid safety arguments against enabling E2EE—but given the gutting of Meta’s safety teams, the only remaining reason to disable it again is to enable surveillance.

If breaking changes are on the table though, UNIX desktops settling on "Ctrl-C/V in apps but Ctrl-Shift-C/V in the terminal" is just an insane choice when there's a Super key right there.

This is great; further complicated by the lineage of Super (❖), which is vaguely equivalent to the Windows key but referred to as Meta in various internals, except Alt is considered Meta elsewhere and many use it as Command. 🥳

The "Menu" key remains a mystery.

The number of U.S.-based academics seeking jobs overseas rose by more than a fifth last year, according to Times Higher Education, a U.K.-based provider of global education data. Most of them landed in Europe, where the EU has set aside 500 million euros to lure top scientists to the continent. Professors teaching abroad blamed the American right for slashing research funding, and the left for policing university speech.

Honestly don't see how corporate IT security is still a tenable field now that IP exfiltration and remote takeover—formerly one of the worst scenarios—is now just standard operating procedure for every developer.

I had an ex who did lots of nicotine gum for its purported cognitive benefits; they ended up with a ferocious addiction and no obvious method to help them quit short of smoking

They ended up getting most of what they wanted going through the MacBook manually, so unfortunately the lesson here is that Lockdown Mode won't save the day if you also use biometrics. Preventing a forensic image is nice, but unlikely to derail the case.
