Views, posts, opinions, are my own. After ~30 YoE in IT, dev work, and Cybersecurity, I believe tech will solve more problems than it creates. Proudly Independent. I stay out of politics as long as politics stays out of tech.

If you can’t handle the heat, don’t go in the kitchens. This isn’t going to age well. He really didn’t want to answer any questions and he used her to get out of an embarrassing situation. Make sure this gets on the news and spread widely. He knows the law because he’s in congress???? Asshole

Did you know businesses with federal govt contracts aren’t allowed to spend for or against federal candidates? How then has Elon Musk, whose companies get billions in contracts, spent hundreds of millions in our elections? The answer: A giant loophole I'm working to close.

Looked up this guy. He's a musician in San Diego. There's an interesting profile on him from last year. On Instagram in the comments to the original video he says he's always been anti-Trump, but had kept his mouth shut until now, but won't stay silent any more sandiegotroubadour.com/alex-bergan-...

Thank you for coming forward. We need more voices from inside the uniform standing shoulder-to-shoulder with us to reject this extremism, protect our democratic norms, and demand accountability.

“With WhatsApp and chat messaging apps specifically, the metadata of who you are communicating with and when can reveal a lot about who you are, where you are, and what your needs may be,” EFF’s @thorinklosowski.com told @africacheck.org.

As I post using a decentralized protocol, I am reminded that the Internet isn't done being useful yet. Rather, our present moment seems to be a somewhat ugly stage of metamorphosis. With time and intention, the Internet will emerge in a new form. Hopefully as graceful and elegant as a butterfly.

So wild that the internet has just become unusable in the last few years.

I think Ghislaine Maxwell is aware that she holds a lot of power right now, but she can go down in history if she makes an epic about-face and implicates Trump beyond a shadow of doubt. This is the outcome of this chapter I am hoping for.

If my taxes don’t pave my roads or fix my bridges or keep my schools open 5 days a week or pay local teachers a living wage or help keep my hospital open or help my neighbor’s kid eat lunch or fund public television or my healthcare… Why the f’ck should I pay taxes?

These have been great. Except for the "play with me" button, which my dog insists on pressing every 5 seconds when she is bored.

The Minnesota shooter apparently used data broker websites to find the home addresses of the people he shot and murdered. Congress has had years to do something about data brokers and they've sided with the tech lobby over and over again. Their inaction is deadly.

Together.

While Trump has tanks rolling through DC for his authoritarian parade on Saturday, we’re taking to the streets everywhere else for No Kings Day. With nearly 2,000 events planned nationwide, this will be the single largest protest of this Trump administration. Join us: www.nokings.org?SQF_SOURCE=i...

I always perceived the Mobile App Vetting program as a missed opportunity to increase the security posture for all participating Federal agencies. I wish they would revamp and improve it rather than killing it off.

Chair of House Homeland Security subcommittee on cybersecurity sent letter to DHS Secretary Kristi Noem warning against a plan to cut the gov's Mobile App Vetting program, which evaluates the security of gov-developed mobile apps as well as third-party apps for use on mobile devices of gov workers
