Lyrics:
God rest ye merry billionaires, let nothing you dismay
Forget your workers families going hungry on this day
And save yourselves from income tax - you'll never need to pay
O tidings of corruption and greed, corruption and greed
O tidings of corruption and greed
In Washington and London-town you pay the lobby fees
To hold the reins both left and right of sham democracies
And keep us entertained so we don’t know we’re on our knees
O tidings of corruption and greed, corruption and greed
O tidings of corruption and greed
Fear not ye say the media, they only sing your praise
The job-creator gave us all that's good and all that pays
Be thankful for your stable-beds and don’t ask for a raise
O tidings of corruption and greed, corruption and greed
O tidings of corruption and greed
The Prince of Peace you call Him while you make war in His name
A man with no possessions made a shill for earthly gain
Imagine all the people led by men who have no shame
O tidings of corruption and greed, corruption and greed
O tidings of corruption and greed

I was giving a talk on DNS and domain intel a few weeks ago and one question involved whether the work causes you to be targeted by threat actors. I gave a few examples then of direct targeting I’ve seen or experienced, but this is a great writeup about some targeting on platform and institutional levels.
The Janx Devil reshared this.
It’s also worth noting, sure, I catch some flak just for being a threat researcher and pissing off bad guys.
But there are folks dealing with 100x the deluge of digital harassment and fraud attempts for:
-advocating for democracy, or
-being a woman, nonconforming, or person of color on the internet
and more.
As a white dude approaching middle age I can only reflect on how that also alters lives and careers and industry incentives as well. We all lose out because of that.

> We’ve reached out to Google to inquire about why a custom ROM created by a small non-profit is more resistant to industrial phone hacking than the official Pixel OS. We’ll update this article if Google has anything to say.
this isn't what they need to be asking though. google that decision with consideration for their target market - and those people generally want more comfy features, and stuff to just work™

The image is a digitally rendered illustration of a person wearing a dark blue suit, red tie, and a white dress shirt. The face of the person is distorted to resemble a skull, with visible teeth, sunken cheeks, and wide, staring eyes. A small American flag is pinned to the lapel of the suit. The person is pointing directly forward with one hand, and the overall style is highly graphic with thick, dark outlines and a limited color palette of blues, reds, and whites. The text “CONSUME” appears in large, bold, sans-serif letters at the top of the image, and “HEFNER ©2015” is in a smaller font at the bottom.

Torino, il personale del liceo Einstein si schiera con gli studenti
Il personale del liceo Einstein di Torino ha inviato a il manifesto una lettera in cui si denuncia da parte delle forze dell’ordine un «uso eccessivo della forza» avendo caricato «un gruppo di studenti assolutamente privi di qualsiasi arma o oggetto contundente», «una condotta non giustificata». I fatti sono quelli di lunedì scorso, quando almeno sei militanti di Gioventù Nazionale, il gruppo di estrema destra giovanile di Fdi, hanno distribuito volantini contro i «maranza» fuori dalla scuola, colpendo con calci e spintoni chi si rifiutava di prenderli o esprimeva idee contrarie al loro contenuto, come confermano diversi studenti a il manifesto.
L’azione era stata attenzionata alla questura che aveva deciso di inviare due camionette con più di 10 agenti in tenuta antisommossa. La lettera, con 40 firme in calce, chiede anche che siano chiariti due punti: quali sono «le notizie che hanno indotto le autorità di polizia a temere eventuali disordini durante una manifestazione che non c’è assolutamente stata» e in riferimento a un episodio simile, quello di un volantinaggio sempre di Gioventù Nazionale davanti al liceo artistico Primo (anche in quel caso studenti e docenti erano stati attaccati), chiedono «se anche in tale occasione le autorità di polizia abbiano avuto notizia di una fantomatica manifestazione».
Infine, i docenti ricordano il contenuto discriminatorio dei volantini, offensivo per i ragazzi immigrati o figlio di immigrati, in particolare maghrebini, molti dei quali frequentano il liceo, e ricordano i valori costituzionali della Repubblica antifascista e antirazzista. Intanto il preside in un primo momento ha evitato di prendere posizione «per evitare di fomentare il clima di tensione e scontro ideologico» ed escludeva «atti di aggressione fisica verso coloro che si rifiutavano di prendere i volantini». Di fronte agli studenti compatti che occupano da due giorni il liceo (decisione presa dall’80% degli alunni), anche il dirigente scolastico Michele Chiauzza ha chiesto che siano chiarite le circostanze di quanto accaduto e ha definito «una ferita profonda la visione di un nostro studente minorenne ammanettato».
Anche i genitori degli alunni si erano da subito esposti scrivendo una lettera firmata da oltre 120 persone che sottolinea come «nessuno ha provato a mediare, evitando che una scena così violenta e umiliante si consumasse davanti agli occhi delle studentesse e degli studenti». Il gruppo, che si è denominato Collettivo genitori Einstein”, sentito da il manifesto, chiede che venga acceso un faro intorno al tema dell’educazione al dissenso che nel periodo adolescenziale è sostanziale. La vicenda potrebbe portare conseguenze giudiziarie ai militanti di Gn che si sono resi protagonisti dell’azione: due studentesse, che hanno denunciato di essere state molestate con palpeggiamenti, hanno deciso di rivolgersi agli avvocati. Il gruppo di estrema destra bolla il tutto come «accuse totalmente false» e avverte che si tutelerà nelle sedi legali.

We need SO much more diversity in tech!
There seems to be a tendency to just pit projects against each other (or buy each other) until we only get 2 options in the end. This is horrible for consumer choices, for security, for privacy, for resilience, and just leads to more enshitification everywhere once people are locked in systems without viable alternatives.
We need much more options, everywhere.
Celebrate and encourage diversity.
In tech, and everywhere else.

It's just that they seem to feel that that means that accountability stops when it hits the computer.
But you and I agree that responsibility, like a 20,000 amp current, flows right back through the computer, to the finger that pushed the button.
