@bms48 @pluralistic today’s strategy

@ueberlauch @EdwinvMeerkerk @alexmagill @pluralistic I just got "Be extravagant" from the online deck.

"AI is the asbestos we're shoveling into the walls of our civilization, and our descendants will be fixing the mess for generations."

@pluralistic has written "a book for people who are sick of AI bullshit." Your non-DRMed unenshittified copy awaits!

@AnarchoNinaWrites It's so incredibly fucked up that this is even a debate.

When I saw Eno there were a few anecdotes about how Oblique Strategies caused shenanigans, but of course your experience may vary.

Linux could be changed to prevent a whole class of potential future page cache exploits.

'/usr/bin/su' and '/bin/su would never be in the memory cache at all ... by default ... except in systems that run entirely in memory.

Perhaps suid binaries should have special sandboxing for forcing them to be read from protected media into sandboxed memory addresses.

Maybe that would be a tougher nut to crack?

I added a thing where users can now suggest domains to be included in the random exploration section of the search engine.

This has been a very popular part of the search engine that I literally slapped together in 2 hours and left to its own devices with extremely little effort put into maintaining it or keeping the domains fresh. Until now that is, I guess.

Why a digital document is a piece of software, and what that means for your freedom

Most people think of a digital document the way they think of a sheet of paper: an object that holds words and pictures, indifferent to the tool used to open it. This intuition is wrong, and the consequences shape everything from vendor lock-in to cybersecurity to the long-term readability of public records.

A digital document is a piece of software.
