Also him:
"Sending messages in plaintext is not secure? Then just send a password with the message, also in plaintext"
And also him:
"cryptographic hashes are completely unnecessary and provide absolutely zero benefit"
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."
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.
Interesting, @alexis@masto.werefox.dev and @reno both have birthdays today.
Happy birthday to you both! 🎂

The payload and itch URL they use change occasionally but currently the "game" they're sending around is called Sway
