I VEHEMENTLY reject the idea that it would ever be legitimate to exclude trans women from a woman's group or women's bathroom or whatever because of someone's trauma around men.

That sort of rhetoric has been weaponized against minorities for years to justify their exclusion. "I'm afraid of lesbians". "I'm afraid of Black people". "I'm afraid of Muslims." "I'm afraid of Jewish people." "I'm afraid of lower class people". Etc.

I'm beyond done with being accommodating of white women tears to drive trans women away because of "fears of men". Trauma is real, and we should be aware of it, and accommodate it where possible , but wielding your trauma to exclude vulnerable minorities from public spaces is some hot garbage.

pls boost if you were cyberbullied today by the developers of some firefox fork, or if you follow @catsalad

Anthropic is bragging about rolling their own from-scratch in-house version control system because git couldn't keep up with their 30,000 commits per day, and it doesn't seem to occur to them for a nanosecond that they are not fixing the actual problem in their engineering practices but making it exponentially worse

Character[.]ai financials:

- $13.8m on compute a month, then $10m a month
- bringing in $2.8m in subscriptions, sometimes less than $1m
- revenue from all sources $5.3m a month

Also there’s loads of speculation about if it’s Russia, China, Iran.

It’s likely a bored teen in their underpants in between Roblox sessions. Not a joke.

Regarding the Danfoss fridge thing doing the rounds in the media - there’s several thousand of them that are directly internet facing.

Every single one is like this. You can just log in and change the temperature. Anybody can do it, easily scriptable.

After hearing about the AI-tech-bros taking up smoking and other hazardous activities as a show of faith that their LLM gods will cure their cancers as a reward for their beliefs, I had to throw a meme together.

He’s so good at this. No wonder Collins didn’t want to debate him. Enjoy this supercut.

Breaking, new, by me:

Agents with the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) on Thursday arrested an executive at a Canadian cybersecurity firm in connection with an investigation into the ShinyHunters hacking group that recently relieved the FBI of sensitive data on thousands of agents, multiple sources tell KrebsOnSecurity.

From the story:

"Dubrovsky’s LinkedIn profile states he is the author of Cyber Extortion Strategic Response, a 252-page book that promises to “take readers beyond the ransom note and into the decisions that determine how an organization responds, recovers, and protects what matters.”

edit: Cypfer said Dubrovsky was a managing director until leaving in Nov. 2025, not an ex-founder as his LinkedIn profile says. This link backs that up, saying he was COO and managing partner:

Anthropic is out with new nonsense about Claude (or the collection of models called Claude) deserving moral consideration and/or being able to feel distress, so my inbox is filling up with journos asking me to comment.

I've also got a day job, so here is a brief set of public comments on this:

There’s yet another Citrix Netscaler vuln (new patch today) which allows unauth RCE - CVE-2026-107406

Same attack surface (SAML) as two of the other vulns exploited in the wild during the past month.

In primary school (1960s), we learned that mountain areas above 3,000 m altitude in the Alps had eternal snow.

I'm afraid we're seeing the end of that.
Matterhorn, 4,478 m high, last week.
