The internet is increasingly full of garbage, much of it written by other confident habitual liar chatbots, which are extruding plausible sentences at vast scale. Future confident habitual liar chatbots will be trained on the output of these confident liar chatbots, producing #JathanSadowski's #HabsburgAI:

But the declining quality of Google Search isn't merely a function of chatbot overload. For many years, Google's local business listings have been *terrible*.

Trump's Florida indictment should be required reading. It does a good job of juxtaposing two things:
1) The former president stored hundreds of highly sensitive classified documents in bathrooms, closets and other places that weren't exactly secured. The documents included boring stuff like defense and weapons capabilities of the US and allies; potential vulnerabilities of the US to attack; and plans for possible retaliation in response to a foreign attack. Worse still, in the wrong hands these documents can expose and endanger human sources.
2) In addition to the 150 full-time, part-time and temporary employees at Mar-a-Lago, between January 2021 and August 2022, the Mar-a-Lago Club hosted more than 150 social events, including weddings, movie premieres, and fundraisers that together drew *tens of thousands of guests*.

I don't mind having 3 different USB cables with different connectors, but I wish the EU would standardize the power tools' batteries. They occupy so much more room, are heavier, and require charging.
Ok - https://matrix.infosec.exchange is alive! It requires an account on the mastodon instance at infosec.exchange. If there's a demand, I'll open general registrations
Please put a content warning on phone screenshots with less than 20% battery life, that really stresses me out. 😉
@fifilamoura Great message. It’s super important to remember how far we have come in just the past few decades
Sometimes that gets lost among all the current threats and dangers (which are very real)
Agree we still need to fight hard, but also good to remember how much better it is today than 1980s. Let’s celebrate that 🎉
