The no-opsec Army guy who was part of the group that leaked Trump's call logs (and worse, threatened me) google searched how to defect to Russia and "can hacking be treason" 💀💀💀💀 He was never going to get away.

Not like I understand why this information is classified, but this made me curious to check out doge[.]gov and look for the NRO. It has very few people with long tenure, so a hostile gov wouldn't need to headshot that many to destroy NRO if they wanted to. Oh I guess that's why its classified

KUSK is a super aggressive law firm and there is a rare job opening. I got to work with them on some cases that involved bringing civil lawsuit pain to people who act like criminals. It was a highlight of my career. Anyone who gets to work with these people is incredibly lucky.

@bschorr.bsky.social Thanks for taking the past few days like a champ because you probably saved your company a ridiculous amount of money by listening to your users. They better give you a raise

Holy shit @kathryntewson.bsky.social got the Microsoft AI people to actually listen and realize the ideas they're shoving on everyone are stupid and makes Word unsafe for work. Wild that MSFT views this as a mistake. I thought they didn't care! www.youtube.com/watch?v=W9X6...

Some good news today. A court agreed with gov appeal that the sentence for pompompurin (cybercrime and CSAM charges) was too lenient. Recidivism was a factor and court says autism, or being too soft and white for prison, isn't an excuse. I haven't seen a court address the subject in this way before.

The TikTok ban is the crowning culmination of years of inexcusable ignorance by our government about social platforms and how tech functions at the most basic level. They've had decades to figure this out and simply have no clue. This own goal will hurt the populace and empower autocrats. Well done.
