I pride myself as being hip to even obscure memes but I've never been able to figure that one out

TURN ME OFF

wait nevermind, i think i misread your sentence. "would read the essay you'd ideally have written, expressing your truer feelings about her"

add PGP to the list of encryption methods that have probably been deliberately compromised at the request of a 3 letter agency https://gizmodo.com/email-no-longer-a-secure-method-of-communication-after-1826002682

Even if you accept the premise of playing Spy vs. Spy as something that isn’t, at best, a trap and a waste of time, PGP encrypted email was always stupid. Sending a big block of obvious ciphertext over email is inherently and blatantly suspicious. Steganography is just as important as encryption. Of course the article’s recommendation is “use Signal instead.” D’oh

yeah the article is bad and PGP was always a little goofy. the important thing to remember is security isn't real, you are already dead, etc

http://fortune.com/2018/05/14/report-google-employees-resign-pentagon-contract/ while it's certainly a good moral action to oppose collaboration between the infinite data giant and the pentagon, this particular deal is only a minor escalation of the enthusiastic engagement with the surveillance/warfare complex google has perpetrated over the past decade+

just happened to be this certain threshold of complicity was enough of a tipping point for some people that it set off a tiny revolt. that's nice, i guess.

it's very ridiculous that there's an implication here that the military isn't already using machine learning for things; or that if google doesn't do it, no one else will; or that other tech companies don't work for the pentagon; or whatever

nobody really buys 'dont be evil,' but it gives google the appearance of a well meaning little company that was forced to make the same inevitable compromises as any growing business. not bad considering google maps started with the acquisition of a CIA venture in 2001.
