I’ve just witnessed a horrific LinkedIn trend in person.
There’s an increasing contingent of cultists saying:
“We should refer to the field of IT as ‘AI’ because that’s what the future is”
I’m not sure what podcast they heard it on, but some guy just said to me:
“You work in AI, don’t you?”
Um… no? Security and IT
“Yeah, AI”
Stop the planet, I’m disembarking.

@nprofile…5876 @nprofile…5pam I wouldn’t want to add to that, and I am very supportive of your work.
I will say, it gives off very mixed messages if a post on a public forum carries rules of which way is the acceptable way to reply to it, especially for neurodivergent folks. I’m used to this, but I could have worded my allegedly supportive message of your position better, maybe even braved a quote tweet.
I’m not here to argue, and you leaving would be a significant loss.

@nprofile…5876 @nprofile…5pam possibly, certainly wasn’t the intent, but there’s a lot of it around.
I still find quote toots a bit ‘twittery’ in that they’re used to insidiously inject an agenda or narrative, rather than add to the current discussion thread. Maybe it’s just me.
Perhaps I should adjust that perception somewhat and embrace it.

Sooo question on age restriction on Apple devices.
Non-age-verified people will get blocklist messages on any 18+ website on, right? This also happens if you have custom DNS, DoH/DoT, or VPN with DNS resolution on the other end...
So Apple intercepts the DNS request, checks against their blocklists before anything else happens?

Boost for echo effect

2026-04-06 22:57:30 UTC

Louis Theroux’s ‘Inside the Manosphere’ was an exceptional demonstration in how someone humble and secure within themselves and their position can demolish someone’s twisted world view in seconds.
Do your research and ask the right questions in the right way and without fear, and anything built on sand will crumble.
Watching these ‘alpha males’ shrink sustains me.
I think my favourite line is the ‘gotcha’ from one of the asshats “how’s your mate Jimmy Saville?” to which Theroux retorts “I helped expose him while he was still alive. He’s dead now”.
Referring to the investigative journalism he did in 2000 around the claims of pedophilia, while Saville was *still employed* by the BBC. Claims that weren’t fully investigated until nearly 15 years later.
Masterclass.

Linux brains…
You know how MacOS creates a workspace when you make an app full screen, and you can gesture with three fingers between them… is there a Linux equivalent? It probably has a pretentious name, but I don’t store them in the ol’ melon.
Windows’ implementation is terrible. So that’s the baseline.
I’ve seen workspaces in Linux for decades now, but it’s been pretty clunky comparatively. I can’t tell you how productive this really simple interaction makes me.
Some of it is likely down to the MacBook touchpads being the gold standard, but I do have a Lenovo one that isn’t terrible.

Imagine telling your then-self how bad things would get.
You won’t own the game, and you can’t buy the whole game, you can’t play the game offline—or you can, but not for too long—the pedigree will be demolished and reviewers will still laud it
The games will use 1000x the resources to run, have no optimisation, with poorer gameplay, worse art styles, and basic features will be overlooked.
The games will have abusive gambling mechanics to keep you hooked, instead of being good, and you will need to buy cosmetics with actual money as they’re not unlockable.

I’m a big Resident Evil fan and I’m currently playing through all the games again (even the weird spinoffs) and reading all the books before RE9 drops.
I felt that despite RE7 being a sublime horror showcase reigniting the genre, it didn’t feel very Resident Evil.
I hadn’t got round to playing Village til now, despite it being in my backlog.
It’s a very, very good game—but still a major departure for the series—though I think that it’s coming closer to what made 4 and earlier great. It’s also technically brilliant, as was Monster Hunter, all running on their own engine.
I’m playing on 10 year old hardware, on max settings except for raytracing, and it’s easily pinned to 60fps.

An identical song, book, or painting; one created by GenAI, one by artists and authors are not the same. One tells a story of people, culture, of sacrifice, emotion, human experience, and the connectedness of all things.
The other is devoid of meaning or merit. A near-enough cacophony of ones and zeros, stolen from its nearest neighbour.
And should always, always, be treated as such.

2026-01-10 23:34:53 UTC

When GenAI rolled along I was massively dissuaded from working on my creative endeavours and sharing them with people.
Not because I desire agency over my IP above, but to deny the tech giants of it. I denied myself the most human of things to spite soulless corporations.
Lately I’ve been picking up those creative pursuits again, because what I’ve noticed is that the people that actually matter want you output anyway, even when everything created by anyone, ever, is at their fingertips.

The summary execution of people in cars driving away from aggressors in unmarked vehicles and unofficial clothing shows everything wrong with the state of law enforcement over there.
Poor training, poor discipline, poor vetting. It’s either incompetence or intentional.
You don’t draw weapons on a vehicle stop for starters, and you don’t stop in a way they can easily drive at you. You especially don’t do it in a busy street with bystanders and colleagues nearby.
This quote from one incident is really telling.
Standing in front of scared civilians with weapons drawn and expecting a rational outcome.
These people are scared of their own shadows. If your first instinct is to protect yourself (the implication of being ready to murder someone), and not the persons in the vehicle, or the general public, you’re in the wrong job. Intellectually immature without the emotional intelligence to de-escalate.

I’ve seen a lot of theories flying about. The most prominent ones being that this is to get rid of the buzz about the Epstein files. Maybe.
My theory is that the Greenland was injected into western manosphere and tech bro circles on social media by foreign powers around a decade ago, and that many US corporations are demanding more cheap rare earth materials. Like those in Ukraine, Venezuela, and Greenland. And who does the administration have closest to them? Internet tech bros, who are worshipped by the right wing public. One big echo chamber, with little seed ideas dropped in.
So if Russia were to covertly attack the US military base in Greenland with drones, the US would be right to load up on resources in the area. Effectively enabling a staging area for further action in the name of ‘securing’ Greenland.
Only it doesn’t need to be ‘Russia’. It could be anyone, including the US. And it’s probably not in Russian interests to do so.
An *unprovoked attack* by the US would draw European military retaliation, bringing US participation in NATO to an end, enabling Russia further in the European theatre. A reminder that the disillusion of NATO, the EU, and nuclear disarmament is an agenda pushed by both the far right and the far left... and hostile nation states. Sounds fishy, right?
So what’s the goal? Well, it’s the same goal as all propaganda misinformation operations. Create political turbulence. Making us fight each other, while allowing the fringes to align on actions that ultimately cause all of us the most harm.

On that last point, most people don’t understand what was actually happening, and it was really cool…

Honestly, I must have been away a while. I just got baited into a brain rot exchange for the first time in a long time.
Not by a troll, they were deadly serious.
I feel like I’ve been rickrolled.

Hit 8k followers for Christmas, isn’t that nice?
👋 Helllloooooo! Hope you’re doing well.
If you followed me for hardcore security posting, you might be disappointed.
If you followed me for general moaning about the world, shitposting, autistic gushing about music and media, politics, and a smattering of security rants…. you’ll probably still be disappointed, but for other reasons.

Had time to sleep now. Not much, but some.
I don’t think I’ve ever seen a more clear of demonstration of ‘thinks they’re a boxer’ vs ‘is actually a boxer’.
Thankfully not seen many people picking up the ‘should have finished in the first round comments’ after they’ve seen the footage. Can’t hit a man running away from you.
I think the funniest thing was Joshua drawing Paul’s over right hand any chance he could after it connected with his shoulder and realising he could just soak them up, even with his face if he needed.
I need to re-watch and count the times Paul was on the ground.

@nprofile…x2kl @nprofile…8agk I mean, technically, you could automate Crows suggestion with AI.

I just briefly checked a message thread in Teams, and it looks totally unhinged out of context:
08:59 Colleague: “Are you able to review the deck I sent over?”
09:01 Me: “I have not slept”
09:01Me: “I am not caffeinated”
*Colleague is typing*
09:01 Me: “and I’m loaded up on more legally controlled substances than seems safe, but I am assured by the medicine man that it is”
*Colleague stops typing*
09:05 Me: “PLEASE confirm that the email I just got is inaccurate”
eDiscovery will disagree, but there was a pleasant exchange in between, and I’d totally forgotten the word ‘doctor’ existed.

Metroid Prime 4 just arrived. Forgot I’d preordered it.
Only an 18 year wait, no biggy.
My return to mastodon was short lived. ✌️

All that smarter-er AI threat detection catching those APTs before they happened.

@nprofile…00zc well, some people are definitely going to be losing sleep.

You gotta fuck up good and proper to make SolarWinds look like a tabletop.

It does just *pop*.
On analysis it’s probably more impressive what goes into a scene like this than those achieving similar with raw technological prowess. The way the camera pulls and pans, the focal length shifts, the particles flow with the wind, the fog lays between landscape objects to increase separation.
There’s a deep knowledge of the craft here, only perhaps Kojima done anything to this level. I’ll try to pick up more examples as I go.
I know people are going to say RDR2. But I don’t actually hold that in such high regard.

I’m playing Ghost of Yotei and AC Shadows side-by-side.
They’re different games with similar themes, but Ghost of Yotei is unquestionably the superior game in just about every metric.
There are, however, times when I wished one had features from the other.
While Yotei is much more visually striking and cohesive, I do find myself missing things like the rain and wind effects from Shadows, and the close-up texture and lighting work is incredible.

Gamerbros all impotently raging about ‘girlboss culture’ and how their favourite developer has gone ‘woke’ because their creepy man-crush, Jin, was no longer the protagonist.
Tsushima ended on a turned page. It didn’t need to return. The transformation was complete.
Stop listening to these people.
