14·1 month agoCorporate consolidation is the end goal and all of the others are part of the toolkit for accomplishing that. (You can use those tools for other things, but a hammer with blood on it is a murder weapon no matter how many nails are in it’s past or future)
I think that we need more hybrid online/irl communities. Half of these issues at least can be avoided by treating digital spaces as the temporary fever dreams they are.
Leave the lesbeeans alone they’re adorable
Krisp processing happens on device using your cpu if it’s enabled per their FAQ: https://support.discord.com/hc/en-us/articles/360040843952-Krisp-FAQ
19·1 month agoI genuinely think that being ranted at by my principal engineer early in my career and having to defend my ideas did more for my understanding and problem solving than any amount of explanation could have. Good faith disagreement is like a mirror that lets you see from perspectives you’d never have access to alone.

Between the demand to install an app we are prohibited from even "decipher"ing and the theft of content, I don’t think this service is anything I want to be a part of. I thought they were trying to be something better.
The contract language that informed my opinion follows.
When you post Contributions, you grant us a license (including use of your name, trademarks, and logos): By posting any Contributions, you grant us an unrestricted, unlimited, irrevocable, perpetual, non-exclusive, transferable, royalty-free, fully-paid, worldwide right, and license to: use, copy, reproduce, distribute, sell, resell, publish, broadcast, retitle, store, publicly perform, publicly display, reformat, translate, excerpt (in whole or in part), and exploit your Contributions (including, without limitation, your image, name, and voice) for any purpose, commercial, advertising, or otherwise, to prepare derivative works of, or incorporate into other works, your Contributions, and to sublicense the licenses granted in this section.
As a user of the Services, you agree not to: Except as permitted by applicable law, decipher, decompile, disassemble, or reverse engineer any of the software comprising or in any way making up a part of the Services.
(The choice between a “daemon in the sheets” or “cronD in your log folder” joke is left as an exercise for the reader.)
“Nut meat” is a common phrase so I would guess the peanut product is closest, but please stop this line of thought for your own safety.
Confusingly, there’s actually two similar staves that get mixed up. The helix patterned one with two winged snakes I think you have in mind is called the Caduceus, but the the single wingless version I meant is the staff of Aesculapius (multiple spellings out there).
Go check out the alledged link between the snake wrapped staff that’s used to represent medicine and the treatment for guinea worms. Googling puts that theory with the Ebers papyrus from 1500 BC if it’s true!

That’s a vodaphone portugal IP, but this is likely traffic routing though their customer cellular network and not their corporate. It’s possible that someone in PT has a similar username for this service and is fat fingering it. It’s also possible that you’re seeing a tiny sliver of a larger attack.
Spur.us tracks that IP as an egress point for openproxy and windscribe ResIP networks so it’s worth considering that the origin of the authentications you’re seeing may not be Portuguese cellphone but someone hiding behind those services.
Here’s a paper describing the difficulties such a service creates for folks trying to secure accounts with traditional IP reputation based rules. “Resident Evil: Understanding Residential IP Proxy as a Dark Service” https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/document/8835239
Shooting in the dark for how a bad actor would monetize account takeover for this service if this is in fact an attack… They could try to sell your invitation to that private tracker. They could also look to scoop up a bunch of folks to try and blackmail based on what victims are download/seeding. Other more creative options I’m not thinking of might be on the table.
This is good text wall I’m saving it. <3
