This lady at the doctor's office just answered her phone and told her son her password...very loudly. Then proceeded to say out loud where she keeps her red password book.
Willem challenged us to ask ourselves what we would do if we were living under Nazi occupation. Before all of this, I doubt anyone thought they would be complicit. I doubt anyone said to themselves, "nothing. I would cower in fear and do nothing."
But for 4 years or so we all answered that question again and again with our lives. Now here we are, answering it again... Every day. But it's no longer "what would you do during the rise of Hitler?" It's now, "what would you do after the invasion of Poland," and "what would you do after you knew about the concentration camps?"
For some people, the answer is still, "nothing."
But a lot of people have been brave in the face of it all. A lot of people have died, and a lot more will die. He will die, perhaps after a ruling by some court or other but, honestly, probably not. That's just how these things work out. Lots of people die, some for no reason, some because they stood up against injustice. A whole lot of people do nothing, until it's safe to claim victory... Until it's no longer safe to be on the other side.
That's just how these things go. Fascism is self-defeating, but it causes incredible harm on it's path of self-destruction. The more people who stand up, who risk themselves, the faster it collapses and the fewer it can hurt. That's also just how these things go. It's incredibly dangerous for everyone until enough people take some extra risk and make it safe for everyone again.
But that question still stands... Which one of those groups are you in? Are you proud of what you are doing, or will you look back with shame? Some of y'all have a lot to be proud of, but, if you're not, it's never too late to earn your way into that proud group.
What are Out-of-band Application Security Testing (OAST) domains? Out-of-band application security testing (OAST) is a method for finding exploitable vulnerabilities in a web application by forcing a target to call back to a piece of infrastructure controlled by the tester. OAST domains (sub-domains most often) are often free and hosted by OAST tool providers like interact.sh. What happens when something is free on the Internet? It gets abused.
Let’s make tOAST of the most commonly ab…
A real “my shirt has people asking a lot of questions already answered by my shirt” sort of moment

Roman elites drank from leaded cups because it made water sweeter. Radiation was thought at one time to have healing properties, so people would add uranium to their drinking water. Glowing dishes are still a collectors item. After the discovery of x-rays, shoe stores started installing them and using them on kids feet to size shoes. Lead was added to gasoline to improve engine performance, and paint to make it whiter. We all know about asbestos and DDT.
We look back at all of this and think, "how could people have been so incompetent back then?" Some of these things caused irreparable harm in their generation, some continue to cause harm today almost 100 years later.
If you wonder that, look at the whole #LLM thing and you have your answer.
I spend a lot of time being worried or angry or annoyed at the way that generative ai fervor is undermining our ecosystems (environmental, cultural, epistemic, digital, etc).
But right now I'm just feeling mournful. Seeing project after project, institution after institution run enthusiastically into a future where we boil our oceans to better insulate ourselves from one another is ... tragic. We're losing a lot right now, and we're going to have to come to terms with that.…
