“Bloomberg ($) reports lawyers are already finding that Apple's always-listening tech is at odds with the law in several U.S. states. Some states require all parties' consent before being recorded, setting up the feature for potential legal battles down the line. This comes amid the rise of smart camera-enabled "pervert glasses" like those made by Meta and Snap, which have supercharged abuse and harassment against people by recording them without consent.”—@zackwhittaker@mastodon.social https://this.weekinsecurity.com/watch-what-you-say-apple-opens-the-door-to-a-nightmare-world-of-always-listening-tech/

"A certain AI researcher said of recent AI hacking inci­dents: “AI agents … took actions that would be consid­ered as crimes if a human took them”—seem­ingly taking it as axiomatic that these were not human-controlled activ­i­ties and there­fore cannot qualify as crimes. But they were and they do. ... So let’s call this narra­tive what it is: an attempt to thwart the rule of law." https://matthewbutterick.com/chron/drop-dead.html

@joe@f.duriansoftware.com Something tells me attempts to do Caja for TCL would end the same way Caja for JS did. :) But! If you could feasibly and reliably allowlist the objects in the execution context, the idea makes sense. The problem is Spicy Object Graph Connectivity, moreso than that the idea could never work in principle.

@joe@f.duriansoftware.com Man, the 1993 date on this... incredible. "Recent research [10]"... ok, let's look at [10]. Oh it's by the same guy: https://dl.acm.org/doi/epdf/10.1145/143457.143463 Surely, this is a deep dive into the sandboxing problem, ca. 1992? He's solved something hard? No. The solution presented there is: Well, email is already unsafe, so actually we're fine. Also, yeah, the real problem is reading private files. The solution: the same bare assertion that sandboxing is just a SMOP. How did this get published

“The next day, when Suzanne followed up to ask whether I’d considered the options she’d suggested, I told her that I was seeking outside counsel. I’d been in touch with a labor lawyer, and we began drafting a demand letter. Before we could send it, Marion’s boss called me and said that I could keep my responsibilities after all.” https://periscope.corsfix.com/?https://www.newyorker.com/culture/the-weekend-essay/the-voice-of-google

USA Today woke up and chose violence this morning and I am *here for it* “These new candidates don’t understand the crucial role centrist Democrats play in America’s political system. We appeal to "the center," which is an ambiguous blob-like thing that exists only in the minds of Democratic strategists whose brains stopped working in the 1990s.” https://www.usatoday.com/story/opinion/columnist/2026/06/28/centrist-democrat-mamdani-progressive-socialist/90681634007/

https://infosec.exchange/@dotdotslash_bot/117009712370074886 so I see this and I'm like "cool, let's write detection for it. Where are the details?" so I search startpage for it. getting real fucking tired of search engines being so ass. search for this CVE on startpage, and the engine is all like "Oh, a specific cve number?" hah, no, fuck that. let's just pull up any page that as CVE-\d{1,}-\d{1,} in it. The internet is dogshit now, and I lay the blame at the AI enthusiasts and techbros being bloodless ghouls who don't actually use any of the shit they produce.

RE: https://beige.party/@gildilinie/116999697694903234 Reminds me of when Suno CEO Mikey Shulman who said nobody likes making music. Yeah we do. Humans are creative people who love to create anything — books, music, software, paintings, … cyber and/or acoustic socks … It’s a fundamental part of the human condition. When people don’t want to create anything, I gotta ask some questions

The open web is being further ruined. Basic privacy protections are at odds with anti-bot/anti-scam protections and at odds with (naturally) surveillance and ads. This is a choice that we are making as a society. "Increasingly we’re being presented with a choice that is no choice at all: get rid of all your precautions and let us get our hooks in, or we’ll shut you out of the internet, bit by bit." https://flaminghydra.com/403-forbidden/

"And the answer is that you make foundational investments in systemic prevention of entire classes of vulnerabilities, even at the expense of having marginally high latency to fixing individual vulnerabilities. While in the very short run this can be painful, on longer time scales, it’s essential. ...like any good engineering project you should structure you work towards incremental deliverables that add value, not one giant big-bang that won’t materialize for forever." https://alexgaynor.net/2026/jul/15/you-cant-bugfix-your-way-out-of-the-vulnpocalypse/
