A Former Google Executive Takes Aim at His Old Company

"The relentless pressure to maintain Google’s growth had come at a heavy cost to the company’s users. Privacy was sacrificed for online tracking tools to keep tabs on what ads people were seeing"

@micahflee On #BlueLeaks https://www.wired.com/story/blueleaks-anonymous-law-enforcement-hack/

On Jul 1, I'm giving a seminar on how Big Tech distorts our discourse for the Oxford Internet Institute. It's free to attend, but you need to RSVP:

80,000 printers are exposing their IPP port online

Hey everybody!

I'd like to do some tiny open-source projects. But I need your help to know what to build.

I'm extremely adept at writing dependency-less JavaScript and CSS. An ideal project would be a riff on something you use or would like to use, but is convoluted as a developer or a user.

Looking to make things that are plug-n-play and do one thing well, with all bases covered to be production ready-- performant, accessible, enjoyable.

So, what problems can I help you solve?

"This type of “warrant-proof” encryption adds little to the security of the communications of the ordinary user, but it is a serious benefit for those who use the internet for illicit purposes."

So wrong, encryption has just as much benefit if not more for ordinary users.
