Ok sir, I called 988 and was told not to kill myself and was told that if I am feeling suicidal they can send out a crisis worker. This will lead to me being possibly institutionalized in a shitty situation worse than the one I am in now. D

I’ve been down that road, friend. Thanks. I’ll drink coffee today with my remaining cash, and I’ll await a response from Google to explain themselves to me. ** Google, you have until today. I tried reaching out to you repeatedly and it’s al

Nah, amongst dozens of other incidents: Google mocked the suicide of a close childhood friend to me, then put me into a nonconsentual undisclosed matchmaker algo with a schizophrenic felon to discredit me, ostensibly/clearly on behalf

I don't consider scrapping for manual labor jobs for food money (certainly not rent) to be any form of recovery. For those who are currently unemployable (in a professional setting making a living wage), they are either prepared for th

@reddit contributed to my learned helplessness. Big tech has engaged in a gnarly pattern of dossier-building rumor-perpetuating algorithmic-targeting abuse practices. @google, @reddit, @twitter and others have all participated. They all mai

E2EE and blockchain/btc/alt are all, indeed, “just math”. You’ve noted the status quo that is rapidly becoming cemented, albeit in an hn echo chamber presumptuous of a supermajority consensus on E2EE as it may or may not correlat

Given the stakes, would a reasonable minimum for security involve an ephemeral node, perhaps an HSM, transfer your “digital currency” to a fresh wallet, then offline the fresh keypair to sneakernet, then wipe the node? The article mentioned

Is there any evidence to suggest kompromat has ever been used to blackmail American tech executives to backdoor their products for NSA or other agency?

> "combine designation with authority" This is a fantastic comment for someone (like me) hungry to learn about security concepts. Do you have any more pointers to useful info about security topics?

Is the Keychain DB (SQLite) stolen in encrypted form? As I understand, the Keychain DB is stored on the file system, but the DB's key is held in the Secure Enclave.

I may have worded it in a misleading way. What I meant was, if you’re sympathizing then speak of intent, since the dealer is still responsible, as you noted.

The harm reduction activist claims the individual dealer isn’t at “fault” if the supply was laced after being passed around amongst other dealers. In that case, it would be more accurate to speak of the dealer’s intention, rather than respo

Thanks for sharing your perspective. I still would love to re-invigorate passion for coding as I had in my 20's. If I am in a better situation to try again, will keep in mind your experience regarding blue light overexposure.

I suspect that, under such conditions, the headaches are normal for someone at my age. I can go from 0-100mph on a dime, which may have led to the headaches. I'm not passionate about coding, so I dive in without being warmed up. Contra

While I agree in the long run, I suspect we may run into limitations in generative AI at some point this decade. GPT-4 is incapable of any form of genuine discernment about the veracity of any statement that it makes. This "hallucinati
