Idle thoughts on the Muskopalypse, crypto and all that. How much is about midlife crises among formerly cool tech bros? 1/

The cybersecurity problems at #Twitter #Birdsite to actually watch

Just curious. What was the first social network or pre-social network you ever used? Please boost! And elaborate in the comments!

I like this visualization showing how #Mastodon is one branch of the #Fediverse tree. Lots of decentralized tools to try out.

This is my #indroduction post. I hope I am doing this right.

I am Vinoth, from San Diego. I lead the silicon security architecture and silicon security operations teams at #Google. Before this, I worked on mobile silicon security at #Qualcomm. I will mostly talk about #mobilesecurity, #androidsecurity and #infosec.

Much of my work is about improving the security of #Pixel and other #Android devices. My expertise is at the intersection of hardware security architecture, software security architecture and silicon security operations (secure key provisioning, code signing, device attestation etc.). I have ~20 years of experience making mistakes at this particular intersection that make me feel eminently qualified to talk about how to not make them.

I love explaining the intricacies of silicon development to software engineers and vice versa. So if you want to understand the hardware underpinnings of Trusted compute, confidential compute or whatever, I'm your guy.

I sometimes hold unpopular opinions, and I welcome healthy discussions about them. For example, (a) open sourcing RTL will not improve hardware security to the same extent open source software improved software security (b) there are situations where compliance actively harms security.

Also a medidator, volunteer at #ishafoundation, father of 2 kids, husband of 1 wife, angel investor and a very curious human being.

Appreciate the community on here @freemo and the @QOTO instance.

Maybe it's just me, but the Elon story reminds me too much of the Trump story.

Remember in early Trump presidency when everyone kept giving him the benefit of the doubt? Coming up with explanations for why he was a maniac? I myself, in the beginning, thought, well, he has dementia. That explains his craziness. My mother had dementia and I projected that onto him.

I see the same with Elon. Let's just skip to the truth. Elon has severe psychological problems. He is a liar, a cheat, with no empathy. He is a fake, a charlatan. He is a malignant narcissist like Trump. He doesn't care about anyone but himself. He doesn't care about who he hurts. And he will burn it all down in service to his narcissim.

Just like Trump is willing to burn this country down.

Just skip to the truth.

@mathew @vitaminsludge @lauren @davidgerard @rrb What Musk is doing at Twitter could have happened with Trump in the WH if we hadn’t had the entire US Government in place as a guardrail. It wasn’t 100% effective, but can you imagine the harm that could have been unleashed if Trump, like Musk now, had no one to stop him? The similarities between the two are chilling.

@rrb @davidgerard @vitaminsludge These are, in a significant way, irrelevant distinctions between the two. Both of the same cloth overall. That's what really matters.
