The attitude of a former friend of mine:
"I had some success writing encryption code in the 80s, so therefor I know more about encryption than anyone even though I retired twenty years ago and stopped paying attention to tech development"
and his attitude later:
"There is no such thing as security. If I'm not an encryption expert, then nobody is."

@cdmnky Yeah... I can remember someone stole from my family's paypal to buy some expensive stuff, and it took at least a couple of weeks for paypal to get us our money back even though the seller was fully cooperating.
@XerTheSquirrel Par for the course, based on what I've heard from an ex-Apple contractor.
climate change hot take
For a while I've been suspecting that some big industrialists want climate change to occur. Why? Because manufacturers of air conditioners and other cooling tech get bigger profits, while electric companies get bigger profits from the increased electricity demand.
There is some proof of this I think though? I remember hearing that a couple months ago, some publication in Britain put out a thing on climate change, listing both the problems and supposed "benefits" of climate change. That alone seems to indicate that some people want it to happen.
@Gulfie Thunderstorms always make me feel good too. I suppose you can say I get a charge out of them ;3
@starseeker @Moot Yes.
@Moot Okay yeah, that sounds about right.
@Moot Based on what I've heard from a friend who was close with the FA staff, the tech behind FA is far more horrifying than that
