FFS its not "Sideloading", its installing applications on a device I own.

Really Jets? Geno Smith, again, is your answer to a achieve a winning season?!?

Maybe my perpetual anguish as a Jets fan will be lifted. I'll settle for 500. Not holding my breath.

I have yet to see a legitimate browser extension that interacts with LLMs / AI platforms.

Most, if not all, steal user inputs and LLM responses; install malware.

RE: @Walker@infosec.exchange

Its like Snowflake saying its not their fault that admin accounts were compromised because they did not offer MFA.

ShinyHunters claim more Salesforce victims.

Putting aside the question of if they actually took the data. You have to love the response from Salesforce, effectively blaming the customer for over provisioned guest permissions.

Its as if Salesforce feels they have absolutely no say or impact on the environment and how those accounts are set up and provisioned.

Ah spring (still snow on the ground). The windows are open, allergies are insane, and the DST has disrupted the schedule of the house and the cats are showing their displeasure by peeing in various rooms.

Can we just skip to summer and bypass all this nonsense. I am tired sniffing around the floors to find the mess.

Not saying it was AI vibe coding, but it was AI vibe coding. Good to see the QA teams that were fired years ago are still nonexistent.

Leave it to New York to try and to one up the stupidity of California.

New York Senate Bill S08102

OS level age verification. Why do state government tyrants (both Democratic and Republican run) feel they can parent our kids better than parents?

Unfortunately I know better than most how the internet hosts the absolute worst of humanity. Most of what I have seen I will never repeat.

I use this knowledge to teach my children about how to navigate the internet safely, introduced off the shelf technical controls to allow age appropriate access, and keep an open line of communication and trust. Is it perfect, no, but it is good enough for our family.

Government should back off and stop trying to legislate morality and to raise my kids.

Typically I get down to Fort Myers for RedSox spring training but due to a very busy spring my trip is later this year and will miss their last home games.

Still happy to go and get some warmth and away from the snow, but it would have been nice to see a game or two.

Age verification for OS installation.

This law was written and passed by people who have no idea how computers or the internet works.

Gavin Newsom should be repeatably kicked in the nuts, run out of town covered in tar and feathers for signing this.

Easy - Windows, Mac, Stock Android (Google).

Hard / Impossible - Linux, legacy OS, Smart Devices, Automation aka Cloud formation? Am I to tell my clients that if they scale up new OS on the fly that each needs to be ID verified?

Very Impossible - Hardware / Low Level OS (network gear, IoT devices, medical devices). You need a local account setting up a Cisco router or switch.

What about air gaped / no internet situations? Would I be prevented from installing an OS if I do not have the internet?

I have a Proxmox cluster full of VMs and containers in my basement. Do I need to get ID verified for each LXC container that has a user account?

What about the rest of the world? So fucking stupid and myopic.
