Misuse Case

#infosec professional, does #knitting, loves #kdramas. My political views do not reflect those of my employer, who I will not disclose. A “misuse case” is similar to a use case, but for user error rather than intended use. Misuse cases support greater #usability and resilience in systems and applications. #cybersecurity professionals, stop fighting with your end users - design better for them!

The U.S. National Institute of Standards and Technology (#NIST) has developed a framework and best practices for managing #AI/ #GenerativeAI risk which I think will be very helpful to evaluate AI systems and articulate what we want in them.
If you’re in the U.S. you can read this without paying or signing in or anything like that. (I don’t know about other countries.

My husband got an email with a PDF attachment that had my name on it saying the sender had recorded me visiting porn websites and they wanted 2000 Bitcoin to keep it secret.
Not even kiddie porn or anything like that, just regular porn. Low effort.

Hey if you have been giving money to #GOTV efforts like #mastodonforharris #Mastodon4Harris I would appreciate it if you donated to the nonpartisan #PoorPeoplesCampaign which is trying to mobilize 15 million poor and low-income voters this November.
Most campaigns don’t reach out to the 30 million poor and low-wealth Americans who are eligible to vote but don’t vote. But we do!

How the fuck is #Mastodon a worse place for black people than #Twitter #xitter which is owned and operated by an actual fashy techbro?
This is a major collective failure and instead of doing “well actually” at black users who talk about discrimination on here we should be working harder on community moderation, which may require adding new features to Mastodon.

The #JDVance couch thing (and possibly dolphin thing?) has so much staying power because while part of the essence of conservatism is maintaining a class of people the law binds but does not protect, etc., another part of it is having weird sexual hang-ups and making them everyone else’s problem.

LOL the effort to oust #Biden is being funded and coordinated by a PAC run by a crypto guy who supported Dean Phillips.
A bunch of you who should know better have been swallowing all the lies this crypto asshole has been telling - hook, line, and sinker.

If you’re American be careful when filling out your #HealthCare paperwork for a doctor’s appointment, whether digitally or physically. Trying to get you to opt into things and/or upsell you things seems to be a trend these days.
I am getting a mammogram and in my paperwork was something asking if I wanted some kind of enhanced AI-analyzed screening for extra $$.

While at the city council meeting to do a different thing I found out about a volunteer #bicycle repair center in town and I will have to go check that out. I would like to learn how to do basic repairs on my own bike and maybe my son’s bike. #BikeToot #BikeTooter

I think I said months ago that #Biden should take an adversarial stance with much of the mainstream press for a variety of reasons. After seeing the #NYT and other outlets try to *manifest* “Biden’s dropping out” like it’s WMDs in Iraq, I’m even more certain that it’s the smart thing for him to do.

2024-07-03 15:25:57

This feels almost like a Foucalt’s Boomerang thing. The NYT pushed the “Saddam has WMDs” lie to get the U.S. to destroy a country abroad. Now it’s pushing falsehoods to take out the head of government domestically. https://toad.social/@KimPerales/112723152601764880

One thing I really appreciate about AOC right now is that she’s not saying “of course we can’t do that” or “my party will never support that.” She’s working on pushing her party to support that

If I were a Democratic strategist I’d advise the whole party to start calling attention to how Trump-appointed judges, from SCOTUS on down, are hell-bent on not only dismantling things like consumer protections, food safety, and the Endangered Species Act, but hampering the federal government’s ability to deliver services to citizens.
Start talking about Trump-appointed billionaire-bribed judges kneecapping *your* elected government and trampling on *your* rights.

Shorter #SCOTUS: “The President can legally do whatever he wants, as long as it’s also what right-wing Federalist Society jurists want.”
That’s the sum of their decisions on Presidential immunity and gutting the regulatory capacity of the Federal government.

2024-07-01 14:36:14

Does this mean #Biden can legally drone-strike members of the conservative #SCOTUS majority or not? https://mstdn.jp/@MarvClowder/112711716438920746

If you are worried about [GESTURES AT EVERYTHING] then I have good news for you: the #PoorPeoplesCampaign has just kicked off its 2024 #GOTV campaign. We are going to get 15 million poor and low-wealth Americans - infrequent or first-time voters - to the polls.
Poor and low-wealth people make up 30% of the electorate but they don’t vote or they vote infrequently. If we can change that we can radically change election outcomes and American politics.

Okay we have talked enough about Biden’s debate performance. Can we talk about how #SCOTUS ruled that state and local governments can criminalize homelessness and that will result in more deaths from #poverty and more incarceration? This is more urgent in every possible way.

I’ve already gotten blocked by a couple “replace #Biden with someone else” people today including the guy who said Larry Hogan or Adam Kinzinger would be a good replacement for a unity ticket, then acted like I was bananapants for saying running a #Republican as the #Democratic presidential candidate is a cockamamie idea.
(If he’s blocked me he can’t see that I’m talking about him.)

My husband moved the blocking mats I use for #knitting and doesn’t remember where he put them. I can’t find them either. I am very unhappy about it because I just finished this shawl I wanted to block today.
I don’t normally complain about him on here because absent some serious problems complaining about your spouse is gauche but I am pretty mad about this.

There’s a lot of “the outcome of X is predetermined because lots of other people are doing/will do Y so it doesn’t matter if I do Z” going on, so people can justify shirking their responsibilities to each other.
This is about electoral stuff but also things like even minimal COVID mitigation and combatting climate change.

In general I don’t want to tell people to kill themselves but for people who seriously believe “humans are the virus” and “there are too many people,” I feel strongly tempted to say that they should demonstrate the courage of their convictions.

Accepting the devaluation and disposability of human life as a norm is a big part of why we’re in this situation in the first place.
A society that cared about human life wouldn’t have most of these problems.

If you think “overpopulation” is at the root of environmental crises like climate change and you won’t acknowledge that the problem is actually an economic system that promotes relentless resource extraction, consumption, and externalizing costs to the environment, then you need to answer my follow-up question of “how many people do you think need to be genocided and which ones?”
It’s a fair question and you should show you’ve thought through your position.

2024-05-19 16:39:30

“Both parties are the same” is really “the right wing has shifted the Overton Window to include the things they want and shut out the things *we* want.”
Or sometimes the things we want have not had their time in the Overton Window yet.
Pushing the Overton Window in any direction takes time and sustained effort. Once pushed, it does not immediately snap back when power changes hands.

Finally, but this isn’t going to slow Netanyahu’s murder machine down, because if he stops/accepts a ceasefire the absolute ghouls in his cabinet will force a new election, Netanyahu will be out of office, and his goose will be cooked https://mastodon.social/@GottaLaff/112402992882703683

@npub19fc…ay3c @npub13wm…ugad “The police need better training so they don’t act this way” is something I read/hear often but they act this way because there is an institutional culture that encourages them to act this way, and there are no consequences for them when they act this way, whatever laws in their jurisdiction or their departmental policies may say.

As Governor of Maryland, he would veto every piece of progressive legislation passed by the Democratic supermajority legislature. Then they would override his veto and he would take credit for the legislation they passed in spite of his veto every damn time

@npub1xsy…cevg you know you can order the parts you need to install your own speed bumps (with or without a sign) online, you don’t need to be a licensed traffic engineer or anything like that, and you can just put them in during a time when there isn’t so much traffic?
The worst your local government will probably do is take it out, or tell you to take it out.
