Why are furry conventions offering HIV testing to attendees?Also, if you're wondering "Why are you responding to how people are behaving on Twitter?"
The answer is, I want to make the top Google result answer the question these jerks inspire in their audience, so I sought to address it directly

Spoiler: It's nothing scandalous or bad. Every once in a while, someone posts this photo on Twitter to attempt to dunk on furries: Midwest FurFest 2018 Over the years, I've seen this discourse play out several times. The people that post this photo usually don't elaborate on why they think this photo is meaningful, they just let it stand alone and expect their audience to fill in the blanks.

I'm in my 30's and still have no fucking idea what would be expected of me if I ever went on a date, partly because I don't even know how to find people I might be interested in dating. -

In response to the latest Matt Mullenweg idiocy, I'm seriously considering moving off WordPress.com hosting.In response to the latest Matt Mullenweg idiocy, I'm seriously considering moving off WordPress.com hosting.
The main reason I went with them was so I could just write without having to fiddle with infra or code. (Because if I went down the self-hosting route, I would've spent too much time building the platform rather than using it.)
Originally, I was using Medium for that purpose, but I got really tired of the pressure to monetize.
So, if my blog is briefly unavailable in the near future, that's probably why.

Hi, yes, just one question: What the fuck?
Thank you.
I happen to know a good therapist if you need one.
Pass, but thanks.

E2EE for the Fediverse Update – We’re Going Post-QuantumE2EE for the Fediverse Update – We’re Going Post-Quantum
In 2022, I wrote about my plan to build end-to-end encryption for the Fediverse. The goals were simple: Provide secure encryption of message content and media attachments between Fediverse users, as a new type of Direct Message which is encrypted between participants. Do not pretend to be a Signal competitor. The primary concern at the time was "honest but curious" Fediverse instance admins who might snoop on…

Invisible Salamanders Are Not What You ThinkInvisible Salamanders Are Not What You Think
Ever since the Invisible Salamanders paper was published, there has been a quiet renaissance within my friends and colleagues in applied cryptography for studying systems that use Authenticated Encryption with Associated Data (AEAD) constructions, understanding what implicit assumptions these systems make about the guarantees of the AEAD mode they chose to build upon, and the consequences of those assumptions being false.

Harris plans to tax unrealized stock gains — but only for people worth $100 million
Vice President Kamala Harris' endorsement of a Biden administration plan that includes a tax on stock holdings that have grown in value has emerged in recent weeks as a talking point among conservative pundits and Trump supporters who argue it amounts to socialism or even communism.
NBC News (www.nbcnews.com)
They don't know it only applies to people worth over $100 million.
They don't know it wouldn't apply to real estate at all.
I've listened to many conversations about how bad it would screw over first time homebuyers... based on the media's lies through omission.
Emphasize these details when you discuss them. Remind people of those conditions, and that it's not a tax that will hurt poor or middle class Americans.
