But what about "don't make perfect the enemy of good"?
If your cryptography isn't damn near-perfect, it's shit. There aren't many cryptographic solutions that get a C+ in the world. It's either an A, A-, or an F.

Ever have to leave a professional sounding note on a ticket that broadcasts to anyone reading it how rock fuck stupid the user has been?
“User attempting to install software over mobile hotspot, advised to use faster/more reliable connection”
Bob. Bob was a part of a team who did I’m not entirely sure what but it involved network/enterprise architect services for clients. Something like IT infrastructure design for companies without the resources to do it themselves.
Bob raises a ticket because he can’t install a piece of software on his new laptop.
Me: “Hey Bob. You want XYZ software? It’s deployed automatically”
Bob: “Yeah but it just won’t install”
Me: “Logs say it’s timing out, it exceeds the deployment window”
Bob: “I really need it though” such a helpful, worthwhile comment thank you Bob.
Me: “This usually takes like 15mins I don’t know why it would go over an hour”
Bob: “I am on a pretty slow connection”
Me: “You’re not onsite then? Are you at home?”
Bob: “Yeah”
Me: “On what, dialup?” At the time 8Mb ADSL was still very common and more than enough for this.
Bob, sounding a bit sheepish: “Err, well I’m actually using a 4G hotspot”
Me: “You’re pulling [GBs] over a cellular network?? I hope you have a good contract deal”
Bob: “Work phone, not my problem”
Me: “Fair”
Bob and I have spoken many times and are familiar enough with each other for a little gentle ribbing.
Me: “Still, that’s a pretty slow connection even for 4G”
Bob: “I don’t get great reception here”
Me: “Can you move your phone around the house to see if you get a better signal?”
Bob: “Not really, its just a small cabin”
Me: “…cabin?”
Bob: “On me boat”
Me: “BOAT”
Bob: “Boat, aye”
Me: “Boat”
Bob: “Yeah I live on a boat” Waves, waves everywhere and constant drops in link.
Me: “Like, moored up at a docks?” I don’t know the terminology. It’s like a caravan park for boats.
Bob: “Yeah”
Me: “BOB. Come on you know better than this. Go to bloody starbucks or something. Hell it’s 4pm go to the pub and ask for the wireless key” Like maybe Bob if you weren’t LITERALLY FUCKING TETHERING you’d have a better experience.
Bob: “But it’s nearly finished this time!”
Me: “You tried it more than once??”
Bob: “…”
Me: “Mate. You know what I’m going to tell you. I’m going to close this ticket. Let me know if you’re still having problems over a decent connection”
Bob: “Sigh, yeah alright.”
ffs, Bob

Everything written by AI boosters tracks much more clearly if you simply replace "AI" with "cocaine".
I shall demonstrate!
(Not linking to OP, because it's trash.)
"Let’s pretend you’re the only person at your company using cocaine.
You decide you’re going to impress your employer, and work for 8 hours a day at 10x productivity. You knock it out of the park and make everyone else look terrible by comparison. [...]
In this scenario, you capture 100% of the value from your adopting cocaine."

soatok@furry.engineerIs End-to-End Encryption Optional For Large Groups?
One of the recent topics in Messaging App Discourse is whether it makes sense to prioritize End-to-End Encryption when searching for an alternative to Discord. Who's Saying "No"? I'm going to quote 0xabad1dea here, because she is awesome and explains my "opposition" position better than anyone else: So You Want To Write An Open Source Discord Replacement Things you don’t need:

@Gigi in Māori, the relatively newly coined word for ADHD—"aroreretini"—translates as "attention goes to many things". i love how it isn't as stigmatizing as the English term.

Mike Sheward
SecureOwl@infosec.exchangehad a good conversation earlier that went something like this:
them: “is AI making pentesting easier?”
me: “yes.”
them: “why, because you can use it to look for vulnerabilities in code quicker?”
me: “no, because it generates vulnerabilities in code quicker”

Now I've heard there was a secret path
The hacker typed and it pleased the app
But you don't really sanitize it, do ya?
It goes like this, dot dot, then slash
Then up a dir, no not to /trash
The filesystem "just doing what I told ya"
../. ./.. /../ ../ ../ ../

Quenby@cutie.cityHim: well what's your big brain idea to eliminate food assistance fraud?
Me: universal food assistance
Him:
Me: because there wouldn't be a system to cheat, everyone would just get a check
Him: and who does that benefit?
Me: family farmers and human beings who rely on food for nutrition
Him: what about rich people?
Me: what about them?
Him: you would give them food assistance too?
Me: that's what universal means
Him: you can't do that
Me: yesterday you said I couldn't tax them and now you won't let me feed them either?
Him: they can afford food
Me: then it should be fine to tax them
Him: but if you tax them they won't have as much money
Me: I'm willing to offer universal food assistance
