This is funny because I was the operations assistant (office secretary) at the time we received this letter, and I remember it because of the distinct postage.

Fantastic idea. Keep at it, add some pictures, and maybe a "1-vs-1" mode to simulate Musk's robot army vs. Bezos' dolphin army.

Recent elections show that capital interests are able to spend unlimited amounts of money buying political influence to prevent a pro-working-class candidate from ever touching any true levers of power.

Did you even read the article? And the senators’ letter quotes a talk given by TSA Administrator David Pekoske in 2023 in which he said “we will get to the point where we require biometrics across the board.”

How does the use of certificate pinning mean anything when a FISA court can demand the keys and issue a gag order to prevent public disclosure?

by davisr 2y ago
TLS encryption means absolutely nothing. The very system of using certificate authorities is flawed by design. NSA has no trouble performing MITM. Go search 'NSA FLYING PIG'. https://www.cnet.com/tech/tech-ind

I literally sell software according to these principles, and several customers per week email just to tell me (and I quote) that it is "a breath of fresh air." Why would you think this is parody?

It might seem like the Olympics when it's all put together like that, but it's really just one thing at a time, and none of them required any kind of real effort. They were just choices. When it was time to buy a new laptop, I pic

That is important context, but I still agree with what she's said in this article. It's also rich that Cisco especially -- a company known for hard-coding backdoors into their products for decades -- is "taking a pledge"
