Back in Chicago as a stay-at-home dad and small business owner. Expect some infosec/privacy/safety, 3D printing, and politics. You're probably following me because of my old job(s).

I'm narrowing interaction settings. I won't debate with people who don't understand the history or technology here. I spent 12+ years on extensions safety—from the launch review in 2009, through taking the whole team into my org and fighting to staff it back up in 2017, until handing it off in 2020.
The craziest thing about the right-wing conspiracies over the California gubernatorial primary is that Karen Bass and the Dem establishment were hoping for Pratt—not Raman—in the general. The last thing they wanted was this prolonged intraparty fight between the establishment and the progressives.
The tool-changer arms race that Snapmaker kicked off last year has been amazing for the 3D printing community. But the Sovol M1D is the first tool-changer that checks all the boxes for me, and I'm seriously thinking about buying one.
There is one point I forgot to mention about MV3: It absolutely did break some kinds of extensions. IIRC Ghostery and similar just hooked too generically and deeply for any sort of safe API. However, the DNR API was designed specifically to ensure safe, performant, and effective ad blocking.
I just don't know how to read Whitmer in this new era of Trump. She had been a rising Democratic star and top presidential contender—and is still very popular in Michigan. But I don't see how all these cynical moves haven't killed off any future national prospects.
The California vote count is a lot like watching a marble run, where the outcome is determined entirely at the start. The count may look like a shifting race—and the press covers it that way—but the result was locked in on election day. California just takes an annoyingly long time to tabulate it.
Damn. I just realized I put "gubernatorial" in that post when it's obviously the LA mayoral primary. Meh, it was clear from context.
The state of extensions security may be my greatest professional regret. The antivax-like backlash and disinformation regarding MV3 was shockingly effective. I worry that the many years of hostility and delays have killed any appetite for the broader security work that MV3 was designed to enable.
Every day is more of this sort of thing. I used to think we were living through another Gilded Age, but now I've just taken to calling it the Grifted Age.
