tech+law news opinion 

@kistaro A good example of this is Truecrypt vs OpenSSL.

The former very credibly got NSLed as a single target, even with good opsec by the creator. The latter, governments have been trying to legislate out of existence or destroy largely ineffectually, because it has too many candidate instances of its operation.

This is also why, as much as I'm reluctant to be a purist, I've generally been preferring open source. It's harder to destroy by those so inclined.

Hey, is there a potential audience out there for my furry TF Wizardry/Etrian Odyssey kind of game? It's another week of work out from alpha completion (which means a couple months to scavenge up those hours), and I'd like to know there's folks out there that would want to play with it.

@chr Red Link is red luigi. We don't talk about what they did to purple luigi in Tri Force Heroes.

psa: llm bullshit, zoom auto-enable opt-out 

PSA: Zoom is automatically opting in its Pro users into its AI bullshit. Their deadline for opt-out is 8/28/2024*.

Supposedly, this is to remove an extra setting, moving this to being enabled per meeting, and does not result in model training. But if you're like me and don't like even the option of it being enabled, this is worth keeping off at the account level.

They hid the setting in a pop-up notification at the top of their settings page:
zoom.us/profile/setting?tab=ai

Infuriatingly, this setting disappears when clicked and didn't initially appear when I navigated to settings on their website, so I'm not able to demonstrate it here. It's so fucking suspicious that I checked if it was a phishing email, but as best as I can tell, it seems to be legitimate. (I'm pulling a few punches here, since a possible explanation is this was the easiest way to implement this feature on their end.)

Anyway: if you're using Zoom, (1) verify their email if you got it, as phishing scams can easily reuse how they did this and (2) go do the thing.

---
* The top date is 8/29/2024, but they then state 8/28 further down the document. I would recommend trusting the earlier deadline so they don't get the benefit of user confusion there.
