it's weird to see people who otherwise would support democracy and the rule of law cheering on the completely-without-due-process rounding up of gang members in el salvador which is very obviously a human rights violation on a massive scale

apple OS updates still transmit your ECID (unchangable permanent hardware identifier) in port 80 cleartext http on EVERY OS UPDATE on m1/m2/t2 for device-specific boot tickets. this allows intel agencies to track approximate location of all m1/m2/t2 macs on each update as they see the client IP and unique identifier across the backbones. this has been reported to apple multiple times, and they disallow such PII transmission unencrypted in all apps on the app store, but the OS still does it.

i just emailed about a hundred friends to invite them to my birthday party.

i'm guessing that the majority of them (gmail users) will not see the email because of gmail's aggressive spam filtering.

centralized email systems are censorship.
