29. The Menu (2022). I liked this a lot more than I expected. I thought it was gonna be standard cannibalism/grossout stuff but instead it focuses more on making fun of the overwrought theater of fine dining.

Attachments:

Yes, Private Eye is a UK-based satirical magazine. But when it matters, they often stop being funny and start telling it like it is. And in the current climate, this front-page splash was a brave move. 👏🏽

Attachments:

• The front cover of the latest edition of Private Eye. It large black-on-white, sans serif font on it reads: "WARNING. This magazine may contain some criticism of the Israeli government and may suggest that killing everyone in Gaza as revenge for Hamas atrocities may not be a good long-term solution to the problems of the region."

A surprising number of people still haven't figured out that Israel's goal in this war is to make Gaza unlivable and to force the Palestinians into Egypt (Sinai) forever, or, failing that, to shrink Gaza in half by removing Gaza's North half.

I recently modded my entire Steam Deck, replacing all the shell and button parts with transparent green plastic for a retro style.

This was a VERY difficult mod, requiring taking apart the entire Steam Deck piece by piece and putting it all back together. Took about 5 hours. Over a hundred screws, all different shapes and sizes, needed to use heat gun on screen and other parts, took apart heatsink, and much more.

Steam Deck is insanely well engineered and super repairable.

This is my victory. Despite everything, despite a side of human nature invading southern Lebanon and trying to eradicate my family before I was even born, they didn't manage to kill the most precious thing that I have: an innate understanding regarding the humanity and the drive to reason borne into all peoples.

That's what terrorists and murderers, be they Israeli or Palestinian, want to eradicate in the other side. That is when they win.

Don't give them victory over your spirit. (2/2)

Ever since Israel bombed me and my family, making me homeless and killing others in 2006, ever since the Israeli army forced me to spend my childhood sleeping in corridors to avoid broken windows due to fighter-jet sonic boom intimidation tactics, and so much more, I've had the opportunity to exercise a choice.

I held on to that opportunity, and exercised it sixteen years later. I chose to make sardonic stand-up comedy involving hummus with Orr Dunkelman ( @CryptoOrrDun). (1/2)

28. Army of Darkness (1992). I don't think I've seen this since the 90s. I probably first rented it around 1993 or 1994, which was the perfect time to do so. You really have to be about 12 and into medieval fantasy to get the most of out of this.

@jedi and I have been talking about how wrt accessibility we have a really low bar—we just want people to “care.” Once they care, everything that follows is easy. Things only need to be better than yesterday, 100%, as Leonie famously said.

If instead of awareness we focus on technical solutions, things won’t keep getting better than yesterday, because people stop at the what and don’t know why.

Awareness is so much more important than technical skills.

Tell us you’re willing, not you can.

Ah yes, another high profile bug bounty forcing non-disclosure — even for fixed bugs.
🤦🏻‍♀️
It’s the bugs they won’t fix that will put users at risk.
All orgs need a vulnerability disclosure program that doesn’t ban Disclosure.
But what do I know.
I just coauthored the standard
#GPT

“But it’s a bug bounty & they are paying so it’s fair to ask for non disclosure”
That’s fine if everything submitted is paid work, like a penetration test.
Oh, only paying selectively & only the first of any duplicates?
That’s labor abuse & the worst gig economy deal out there.

“But pen tests don’t get you all the eyeballs”

Neither do bug bounties - you get a random number of eyeballs willing to sign NDAs.

If orgs actually care about security, they cast as wide a net s as possible to get the best researchers - especially those who won’t sign NDAs.

“This is better than no bug bounty”

No, it isn’t.

It breeds a false sense of security for users & the org itself, while actively excluding the highest skilled researchers who will never sign an NDA for speculative pay or who want to see the bugs FIXED as their motivation.
