Mr. Robot. I’m super into the sometimes cheesy “fuck society” mentality. And everything that happens in that show either could or has already happened in reality.
I saw the movie Obsession a number of times (different situations/scenarios) and I was floored by how many people brought babies, toddlers and Kindergarten-aged kids to see it.
At first I thought “how is this relevant?” but increasingly yeah, us web developers to use HTTP 404 rather than HTTP 403 increasingly as it can be more secure to pretend something doesn’t exist than to explicitly say “you don’t have access to this right that exists.”
I’ve never especially loved the practice but I’ve done it at work for really sensitive endpoints.
In the future we need to upgrade whatever we’re talking about to the latest and greatest analog even if it has nothing to do with what’s being said (Photoshop → AI generated) — all in the name of appearing “relevant” and “cool” for strangers online.
There’s a restaurant near me that only accepts pickup orders via DoorDash so I order there. Then upon pickup they always roll their eyes and yell at all us delivery drivers to stand “over there” like second class citizens. It always pisses me off since I’m not even a driver, but it also prevents me from returning 95% of the time (their food is top-notch).
I absolutely adore IVPN and do highly recommend them but eventually switched to Mullvad for higher speeds. I also think IVPN isn’t IPv6 friendly if I remember correctly.
Yeah, I guess I was broadly speaking about their actual corporate procedures though. Like at BK you’re supposed to just magically know how much of the ingredients go on each sandwich whereas McDonald’s has the self-measuring salt shaker, ketchup, mustard, etc. dispensers.
Burger King vibes, I worked a lot of fast food places when I was younger but Burger King was the most dreadful, disorganized place. McDonald’s already won the burger wars like 50 years ago and Burger King is in no rush to innovate at all.
I’m not an Android user but wouldn’t it be easy to just have it mount some other volumes on the filesystem when the duress passcode is entered? In Linux land I’m thinking of /home/<username> but there are probably far more paths to mount.
Didn’t we already try this with Do Not Track headers but then we discovered that companies were ignoring them? If they’re actually enforced I’m into the idea but I don’t want it to fizzle out like DNT did.
It was actually Google’s Gemini that suggested this if I remember correctly.
