PIT crew @eff.org. My words. Not my job's words. Etc.
On sabbatical though.
Coffee ☕, crochet 🧶, cryptography 🔐, and being Black in my Black ass business.
Hands rated E. For Everybody.

- I'm going to keep saying this for open source communities. Just because you're smart, does not mean you have received a free pass to talk crazy to somebody you think is less smart than you. People on GitHub are not your serfs. Get over yourself.
- TW: Really gross banter This lightly touches on something I've seen time and again. A lot of the rich are very simple minded since they are in an echo chamber of greed. aftermath.site/jeffrey-epst...
- Seeing people push agentic browsers after years of trying to coral browser extensions is dizzying
- I really have no care to read any analysis on why Nicki Minaj is doing what she is doing. It's pretty clear she wants and needs something more than her music career. Next

- As someone who has worked on providing free software for 8 years now, streaming apps like Disney+ and Paramount really put out a barely featured set of apps to stream their owned content and it's irritating considering everyone pays subscriptions.

- Jay Z really said "Oww, hoes turn they heads like owwwwls I'm the man of the ...hour". I can't man. We really thought these were bars for real. Lmao
- Getting a lot of x509 errors on the keybase app :(
- So I see someone in the current administration has taken the idea of "baby bonds" from economists like Sandy Darity and Darrick Hamilton. This has already happened in states like Connecticut www.pbs.org/newshour/bri...
- Evil is never that organized lol www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...
- Rep. Omar was about to throw hands on his ass and I appreciate that.
- I must be getting older because I'm listening to old bars with bombastic side eye. Ye really said "When I breathe on the track, I asthma attack it." 🥴😮💨
- Lmao did they forget that the 2A crowd was voting for them?
- Looks like an AI bailout will happen and I'm going to mark this post for later so I can remind myself to go for a walk instead.

- I do hope that people get why encryption and keeping e2ee messaging apps are more important than ever though. You have to keep these things solid when democracy is at its strongest. Or else the ability to communicate safely will be sparse when weak.
- I'm glad "abolish" doesn't seem as absurd to say. And I'm sad it took all of this to see that.
- This is not to downplay any of the abnormal nonsense occurring but I need folks to understand the world ended" for many people across the globe already. So if you thought democracy was just fine when you saw genocide live, in several areas of the world. Then keep that up for the sake of what's left

- What gets me the most about these "AI CEOs" is that they can't dress for shit. Grifting billions. I need you to step out in Tom Ford and look like you were dressed by another adult.

- I am still using Google Assistant because tasks like adding events to my calendar shouldn't take genAI to do that. I don't get why every task needs to be funnelled through Gemini as a question that needs an answer. I just need the task done. 🫠
- Finally built a Jellyfin server because I'm tired of having to watch my kid like a hawk when she's watching the official Peppa Pig channel and then it suddenly switches to some weirdos with finger puppets
- Reposted by Lex is on Sabbaticali have been reading Tom Ricks’ “Fighting the Good War” which is a military analysis of the civil rights movement, and one thing that comes abundantly across is that movement leaders and ordinary people made it a practice to refuse to fall into despair and cynicism.

- A brief reminder that power doesn't need your help. Even if you think a situation is not being conveyed very objectively and the details are kinda strange. Power, especially unchecked power, still doesn't need your assistance.
