*unmuting my mic* Hey everybody, sorry about my camera, but you all insisted on making this a morning meeting and, y'know, that curse the fortune teller robot put on me forbids me from being visually perceived by "seeing machinations" before noon; I've *told* you this, Stanley.

RE LB[1]: I don't find much to disagree with. The only thing missing is perhaps a discussion of other topics that intersect with security:

1. Service monopolies make enticing targets. Attackers succeed once, and they get everything.

2. OS/Library monopolies: similar to point 1, although I need to give this more thought.

3. Perhaps certain features should not be made. (i.e. stop connecting things to the internet unncessarily even via convoluted encrypted paths).

Ci manca un solo tassello: una persona in grado di insegnare Scratch a una piccolissima classe in età scolare/elementare.

Finally getting around to reading @slightlyoff's update on the Performance Inequality Gap for 2024. Definitely worth a read, and quite a call to arms, this bit here:

> As smartphone ownership and use grow, the frontends we deliver remain mediated by the properties of those devices. The inequality between the high-end and low-end is only growing, even in wealthy countries. What we choose to do in response defines what it means to practice UX engineering ethically.
