Earlier I posted about the possibility of a de facto social credit system, and I speculated that it was probably already happening. Turns out it was.

So much for Apple not building its business on monetizing the private details of your life. They're as much surveillance capitalism as Facebook or Google.

#EMERGENCY

I pulled over. We all did. Without a second thought. You hear those sirens. You see those flashing lights. You know one day it could be for you. For someone you love. And you hope.

Today, though, maybe it’s for someone else. Like...

The emergency vehicles scream by. And here he comes, following. The Opportunist. The Slipstreamer. First behind them. Cannoning along the path they cleared.

And you know, somehow, that he will be next.

I ask you to carry out one simple task and you fail me

every time someone mentions smooth by carlos santana ft rob thomas i instantly also think of smooth operator by sade and then kind of fuse the songs together in my brain in an unholy frankenstein mashup

Hackers have stolen details of two million T-Mobile customers.

No social security numbers, payment card data, or passwords included in the haul, but that doesn’t mean you have nothing to worry about.

Please don't demand content warnings from strangers. Content warnings are a sort of social contract between an author and their followers; if you are not happy with how someone chooses to use them, do not follow that person or outright mute them, or mute words.

One of the most alienating experiences on Mastodon I've observed is when someone posts about something they're passionate about or is part of their identity and the first response is "please cw that" from a complete stranger.

Thanks

is there some way to *detect* a Spectre or Meltdown-like attack attempt from *within* the guest VM?

that would be so, so, SO valuable to me.
