Maybe if I wasn’t so scared my kids would get killed by a shooter every day, we could actually ban phones in schools. As it stands, I need a direct line to my kid. Fix the bigger issue first. apple.news/A6fN9xyuLTuaoeU3iWo

I’ve had my new M1 Pro Max Studio now for about a month. Bought it for a song cause it’s “so old…” holy crap yall, the difference between M1 and M3 on the studio is so small compared to the Intel to M1, I feel like I hit the freaking jackpot. mastodon.social/users/appleins

So, kids, what's the moral of the XZ story?

If you're going to backdoor something, make sure that your changes don't impact its performance. Nobody cares about security - but if your backdoor makes the thing half a second slower, some nerd is going to dig it up.

@shadowfacts DM me if you need infra help!

@w7voa Something new afoot?

TikTok hysteria notwithstanding, the heads of the CIA, FBI and Intel community are careful to note that any threat to national security is purely hypothetical.

There's no evidence that TikTok has ever coordinated with the Chinese government. theintercept.com/2024/03/16/ti

@ElectionCentral @TechDesk @the-house-ElectionCentral Damn, these old white guys really REALLY don’t want to get reelected.
