A commonly-misunderstood aspect of computer security is that you are battling computers.

No. That is not right at all. Computers are barely involved.

You are battling humans who eat apathy and coordination problems.

My "Not Enron" memo is raising a lot of questions already answered by my memo

@GrapheneOS is being threatened by French authorities for refusing to add backdoors and they're dealing with coordinated attacks in French media right now. They're pulling out of France entirely, moving all their servers, and fighting off a wave of bullshit one-sided reporting that makes them look like they're helping criminals.

They need us to fight back. Support them however you can, whether that's a dollar, sharing their story, pushing back on the garbage news coverage when you see it, or just telling someone you know about what's happening. All of it matters because they're drowning in attacks from governments and media and bad actors who want them gone.

This is the only Android OS that actually makes me feel like privacy isn't just marketing. They fight for us now they need us to fight for them.

The EU is pushing Chat Control and creating an environment where governments feel empowered to threaten developers into compliance, and if we stay quiet we're letting it happen. Show up for them in whatever way you're able to.

EFF is thankful for the generous support of DuckDuckGo, helping us fight for your privacy online.

The idea of the rapture is really appealing. Just think all those sanctimonious twats buggering off and leaving all the interesting people to themselves. Can't come too soon.

We're a scrappy team of disabled-led non profits, fixing up Andrei's wheelchair, and flying a repair tech to Moldova to put it all together. Please donate to get him independent and in motion again! And, read his story, it's powerful and moving. He hasn't been outside in over a year. Fuck that, we are going to get him back out there. https://www.openassistivetech.org/andrei-rolling/

The Shine region of the moon, to be precise.

@mattblaze Shame on you. You're supposed to use a content warning for fowl language.

The story behind SwiftOnSecurity involves a car crash, it involves a post about heartbleed, and involves discovering I had a voice people cared about even as I portrayed myself as a joke. And found out I wasn't one.
