We all know: Naming Things Is Hard.

So, please help! I built a tool that simplifies running network traffic analysis.

It's built using open source components, and the code and documentation that runs the tool is all open source/openly licensed.

My current working name is Knock Knock. I am considering a change because Knock Knock is already used in different contexts.

If you have a different suggestion, let me know!

Please share - I'd love feedback!

Two notes on Google's strangulation of Android related to sideloading:

1. Hiding behind scams to provide a justification for this power grab is despicable.

2. The Google Play store IS THE PROBLEM. Sideloading is a distraction issue.

Parental control is not child privacy.

Parental rights are not youth rights.

If either of these statements are confusing to you, take a minute to learn the difference between surveillance, control, personal agency, and privacy.

Until you understand the distinctions, refrain from talking.

And refrain from making or advocating for policy.

I anticipate Meta currying favor with governments by selling out their users (more than they already are) and rolling back privacy protections (aka, killing E2EE on Instagram).

Facebook is a cesspit, Zuckerberg needs favors (esp in the EU) so I'm willing to bet he trades killing encryption in exchange for loosened privacy enforcement.

The whole "buy intelligence on a meter" video floating around is some next level sociopathic shit.

Its a good time to remember three things:

1. Altman founded Worldcoin to get biometric data from everybody
2. AI only exists because of abusive labor practice exploiting underpaid labelers
3. Altman is fine selling to a government who wants to set up autonomous killing systems.

So, yeah - hard pass on buying "intelligence" from people who don't understand ethics.

Whoa. This story is wild.

Hacker accessed Epstein files on FBI servers in 2023. Hacker appeared to not know they had compromised the FBI, was disgusted at the presence of CSAM in the data, and threatened to turn them over to the FBI, not realizing they were talking to the FBI.

So - an edtech surveillance vendor is doing something that looks a lot like human subject research on kids.

If you are a parent in a district that uses Securly, ask to see those data sharing agreements.

This is so incredibly fucked up.

Can we do Universal Basic Income already?

Can we implement Medicare For All?

Income inequality is literally sucking us dry.
