I left a few "CRYPTO MEANS CRYPTOZOOLOGY" stickers in North hall, we'll see who can find them first.

@mttaggart@infosec.exchange this is friggin *wild.* It absolutely boggles my mind that role separation is essentially just a function of model perception and not an actual rule.

Replying to @mullvadnet@mastodon.online
@mullvadnet@mastodon.online Daniel's keeping a fascist party afloat nearly by himself is part and parcel the mission of Mullvad, since it's those of us who buy services who are directly financing fascism. You can't talk your way out of this under the auspices of "free speech." Using my money to support racist and anti-LGBTQ causes is evil and I will not be part of it. This argument is completely idiotic. Don't try again.

After like a decade (or more?) I will no longer be using or recommending @mullvadnet@mastodon.online after finding out one of the owners is explicitly fascist. https://chaosfem.tw/@jasmine/116815539740524405

I still can't believe #Brave is a thing. There apparently are just people out there who are like "I'm frustrated by the corporate bullshit in Chrome, so I think I'll try this crypto scam made by a homophobe"
