  1. @sxa I’ve been actively challenging people’s position on Bluesky. It’s a bait and switch. When asked to engage critically with the network the goodness of the whole thing quickly falls to bits.

    Yeah I encourage you to respectfully challenge each interaction where folks are estolling the virtues of Bluesky. Mostly this venture funded corporation is just extracting its messaging from the good work of the fediverse.

    I have lots of examples of big red flags with Bluesky if you need me to share any.

  2. If you need to use dark UX patterns to try and prevent users from turning off or avoiding your AI that should tell you something... #ai #enshitifcation #tech #ux #pdm

  3. Is malware as a service peak late stage capitalism or is it just me who thinks that?

    "Rhadamanthys is a C++ information stealer that first emerged in August 2022, targeting email, FTP, and online banking service account credentials...

    The stealer is sold to cybercriminals via a subscription model, so it is distributed to targets using a variety of channels, including malvertizing, laced torrent downloads, emails, YouTube videos, and more."

    Generally a big fan of interoperability but not for this...

    "Check Point analyzed Rhadamanthys version 0.5.0 and reports that it introduced a new plugin system that allows higher levels of customization for specific distribution needs.

    Plugins could add a diverse range of capabilities to the malware while allowing cybercriminals to minimize their footprint by only loading those they need in each case.

    The new plugin system indicates a shift towards a more modular and customizable framework as it allows threat actors to deploy plugins tailored to their targets, counteracting security measures identified during recon stages or exploiting specific vulnerabilities."
