  • So, I present my paradox: If the data was sensitive, it wouldn’t be disposed of properly. If the data is irrelevant or encrypted at rest, the disks are disposed of unneccisarilly.

    I bet what you were handling wasn’t -that- comparatively sensitive, so its a whole bunch of human effort and material being pulverised for no reason.

    Because I can ensure you that the people who should -always- be that thorough are not. Especially right now. There’s all sorts of drives that shouldn’t be out in the wild, out in the wild.

    I’m a little surprised there isn’t buyers for liberated disks (and their data) from ASEAN datacenters.

    Additionally, if an attacker wanted to steal your business data, they’d be your contracted, approved disposal partner already.



  • We need to make our own organizations not run on the profit motive alone

    Nice little business you got there, thriving. Would be a shame if private equity bought it now, wouldn’t it.

    We need to do something about the fiscalization of fucking everything before we start giving human rights to greenbacks.

    We are in a society that has fallen prey to a memetic money religion and wishful infinite returns thinking.


  • Kind of a gross generalization.

    Do you even look at your fellow motorists? Its hard to go more than 5 minutes without seeing someone texting and driving.

    Neither do I and I never said I did.

    Then why are you complaining about their legitimate use of the public space we all have an equal right to?

    The traffic laws as applied to bicycles are stupid and a result of shite infrastructure that forces them to share the road with cars. And don’t “bUt iTs ThE lAw” me either.


  • The games industry is built upon the idea of exploiting the young and talented, and every MBA involved in management should be fucking ashamed. Games are the pinacle of the human persuit of increased leisure time… When we do get to post-scarcity, post-work, its all we’ll do together.

    The money is the problem, as is the MBA mills churning out poisonous “leaders” with no grasp of their product, just knowledge of how to squeeze returns.

    Everyone makes fun of coding bootcamps, but the MBA mills and babies first economics classes are fucking ruining our societies.



  • I consider if you’re typing words into a computer the CIA is reading it. Its a generally good idea to assume everything is already compromised.

    They’re currently snarfing all the encrypted data to later decrypt it when the technology becomes possible, betting on quantum computing to break our current encryption technologies.

    Its the only explanation I have for why AI needs disk storage. They’ve already indexed the internet, no?

    Also, impressively, it ran like butter on a HTC ChaCha about 10 years after that phone was relevent, and was a joy to message on.
