More #holiday traction for our privacysafe.social community! FREE with no ads and no timeline #algorithms

The weekend theme is #AI + coding! A friend sent me this piece that mentions my comments on #freesoftware #opensource licensing and #genAI. LLMs have a place in our @ivycyber.com business but it's a very carefully controlled one, and not in the codebase. psafe.ly/TRySSC

Right now, I'm giving another #surveillance detection seminar in our intimate small classroom setting. Those are now SOLD OUT and we'll be doing a full course! Sign up for our full course at ivycyber.com/product/cour... #security #privacy

We deployed a bunch of free web apps in 2025, including sticktock.com for #privacy respecting views of #TikTok videos outside of China & USA. We're either going to retire some of these or crowdfund them. Would you support a crowdfunder for sticktock.com ?

This week I guest lectured for the fourth time for Sheree Ip's class at Curtin University #Law 🤓 We walked through the #TornadoCash smart contract, discussing its ability to protect #privacy of transactions. What's your take? Should #crypto mixers like Tornado Cash and #SamouraiWallet be banned?

VDP programs still work, if you actually care about #security and responsible leadership. Sure, you can trust us, but you will have even more reason to do that when you see us live and breathe #cybersecurity. Cheers! 🍻 privacysafe.app

Our @profdiggity.com on #Google Nest #privacy: "Proximity signals alone can reveal when someone is home, when they leave and when they sleep... Over time, you get a very clear picture of household routine.” by @mikaelthalen.bsky.social san.com/cc/google-is...

Thanks to @mikaelthalen.bsky.social for digging into the insecurity & #enshittification of #Google Nest devices. This is why #RightToRepair and #FreeSoftware matters.

Well, the #NewHaven street seal finally got a name: "Chappy" for Chapel St. We suggested "Pepe" or "Sally" in our @BitsOnTape newsletter, but that would have stoked the #apizza flamewar 🍕 www.wtnh.com/news/connect...

👀 This opens a *LOT* of attack vectors for #AI in #IoT especially if humans hearing these touch tones is normalized. Phone talking to your smart TV etc. Not all that different than frequency shift keying with nUHF #trackers cc @scottjshapiro.bsky.social x.com/NirDiamantAI...

At @privacysafe.social, we’re taking these lessons to heart while building our own video platform. Because feeling comfortable in virtual spaces shouldn’t be an afterthought. 💻 How do you handle #Zoom fatigue"? Let’s talk about it. 👇

...encouraging a "#cameras optional" culture, and converting unnecessary calls to asynchronous mediums like group chats. Not every conversation needs a chat link to log into. We need to rethink how we use these tools. Not just for productivity, but for well-being.
