„Now imagine that this founder/CEO, this accused monopolist, was an incorrigible blabbermouth, who communicated with his underlings almost exclusively in writing, and thus did he commit to immortal digital storage a stream – a torrent – of memos in which he explicitly confessed his guilt.“

This week, Ethel Cain's album Preacher's Daughter reached the no. 10 spot on the Billboard 200 chart — a huge milestone for the transgender artist.

Me: Is slowly being driven insane by alienation and general social isolation.
Also me: "Maybe moving to a different country where I know no one there or their culture (or possibly even the language). I'm sure that would work out well."
Yesterday, there was a strong wind, and the swallows performed some spectacular maneuvers, only a few of which I was able to capture.
From close up, I could even hear the air turbulence, which I've otherwise only heard from kites and gliders.

We’re to often waiting for the right moment. And often missing the present by searching for the right moment.
Right now is a gift & that’s why it's called present.

Calling for the judicial system to work properly is an act of terrorism.

I'm trying to map out time to go back and deep dive on Microsoft Recall and security implications and changes since last year.
Are there any current writeups on it? I'm trying to figure out what needs concentrating on - when I'm googling, I'm just finding my own blog.
Okay, the Recall database is still an SQLite database in AppData. Same path.
Accessible without admin rights and without triggering UAC using TotalRecall.
It's encrypted using a .net now, AesGcm - learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotn…
I think I've found the decryption key, one for another day as I've teevee to watch now.
AesGcm Class (System.Security.Cryptography)
Represents an Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) key to be used with the Galois/Counter Mode (GCM) mode of operation.learn.microsoft.com
Some first impressions with Recall is they definitely took some feedback on board
- the Windows setup does ask you if you want to enable now
- first setup needs Windows Hello with biometrics (doesn't work with PIN), checked and it doesn't save anything before that
- it scans (don't know how effective) for passwords and attempts to exclude from snapshots, by default
Architecture under the hood is still largely the same as May last year. The userland processes are taking over 1.2gb of RAM.
One big thing to be aware of for domestic violence scenarios - I just managed to access the Recall UI (to browse and search snapshots) using my Windows Hello PIN. It doesn't need biometrics, that failed for me as the light isn't on in my room.
That's inconsistent between the Recall setup and documentation, where it tells you biometrics is needed.

Had a wonderful afternoon with #LoveOfMyLife at (and around) Kloster Reurberg here in Bavaria. We had great food, nice long walk, met a few really nice people feom the country side who immediately gotten a liking for the two of us (inviting my wife for beer tasting at their village), and such. The weather was more cool, but it was still all-in-all a wonderful day.
Now we are relaxing a bit at home and going to bed soon.
I'm really quite amazed at how much my wife has come along this journey of ine, of ours. It is beautiful to see her gushing for my boobs and wanting to take photos of me, posing for her in special poses, and such. Sometimes I think I am in a dream, just be pulled by her and given a huge kiss. I am so lucky to have her and I am immensely thankful to the universe that brought us together back then...

2/2 Und damit es weiter geht, muss es halt auch um Trauernde herum weiter gehen. Es ist notwendige Brutalität, dass sich der Planet weiter dreht.
Zu Fordern, dass andere gefälligst auch trauern, ist übergriffig. Wie brüchig die eigene Trauer ist, kann man spätestens nach fast jeder Beerdigung sehen.
„Stiller Feiertag“ ist in meinen Augen schlicht übergriffig. Und ich trete für meine religiösen Rechte bekanntlich nicht immer schüchtern ein.
To continue a bit on the sneaker stuff:
I have a pair of black Adidas Superstars. The ones with this striped toe cap. But mine are made from black cowskin (yes, with hair) and the toe cap is made of black burnished steel
