Hi, I'm Soatok. (Pronounced "so-uh-tock".)

I'm a furry blogger that sometimes covers technology topics (security, cryptography, etc.)

                                                                          -so-`

Because it's not guaranteed, and anyone who shrugs and thinks, "Oh who cares? This will sort itself out. Why bother myself over it?" contributes to them not being held accountable for their crimes.

Yeah, well, the Unix philosophy is from the engineering department, not the accounting department.

Funding FOSS projects without advertising, dopamine-hacking, donation-begging into the void, or being subsidized by billionaires that want to influence the electorate is still largely unsolved.

We don't need to keep elaborating or re-litigating the same discussion. The PGP idea of "one tool to rule them all" is a terrible cryptography design, and the world is better off the sooner we stop trying to make it work.

It's also a market for lemons: Every match that leads to a long-term, exclusive relationship is two customers gone for good.

It's gamer terminology.

In a PvP (player vs player) game, if you kill a player the moment they spawn into the game arena, that's called "spawn-camping".

You're entitled to your opinion, but neither what you said nor Trump's pardon can change history. What's done is done.

January 6 was an insurrection incited by the sitting President against his own country. Any attempt to water this down is dishonest.

Before they were pardoned, the rioters were indicted by grand juries and convicted by juries of their peers. It was an insurrection, not just a "large crowd".

When I was growing up, a good deal of these sorts of parties involved backyards, barbecues, and swimming pools. Rarely did we spend time indoors.

What is Google's CC supposed to even stand for?

Carbon Copy? As in, a rip-off?

Whatever hellhole committee named this did a poor job.
