OK, help me settle a debate.Is ASN.1 Turing complete?(Accidentally Turing Complete counts. Proofs of concept are welcome.)

@ariadne I'm sure I forgot a few qualifiers, like "Marxist".

@ariadne If you can convincingly drop "government mandated cuck chair" into the bit, I think you win Bingo

You're on the air. What's your question.Hi, are you woke?Well, success in cryptography is largely driven by not being asleep at the wheel. So, you'd better fucking hope I am.

If it wasn't clear from a lot of my writing in recent years, I think a lot of the harm inflicted on society comes from the following ideas:That social hierarchies are a desirable thing rather than a phantasm caused by looking at socially constructed variables rather than embracing diversityThat parasocial interactions are worthwhileThat the convenience of centralization is worth the downsides

Some positive beliefs, for balance:Computers should serve the interests of individuals and their communities, not governments or corporations.The solution to the "devs are rolling their own crypto" problem isn't to scold them, but to give them better tools that solve their problem correctly and get out of their way.Products and services that position themselves in a marketplace based on privacy claims should actually do a better job at their cryptography. (Most of them suck ass.)Consent is more important to me than aesthetics. There are some kinks or subcultures I am personally repulsed by. I will still defend their rights, because it's not harmful.

There are also plenty of valid reasons for folks to decide to NOT respect me.Like, I'm quite bad at anyything related to music or rhythm. This makes me not fun at many types of social events.I also miss a lot of pop culture references. Hell, I haven't seen most of the furry-bait movies or TV shows that have come out in the past decade or so, despite them being hot topics in the fandom. Sometimes this makes me miss jokes in ways that kill the vibe.I'm quite bad at flirting. I'm quite bad at recognize when I'm being flirted with. I suspect these two observations are, in fact, the same observation.My sense of humor (puns!) can annoy the hell out of some people.But, y'know? Take it or leave it. You're entitled to a refund, but nobody paid to listen to me. :P

Suppose, hypothetically, you discovered a 0-click RCE in Omarchy. What would be the maximally funny thing to do with this knowledge?("Never disclose it to DHH" being table-stakes.)

Seeing Werner Koch's lame response on oss-sec is absolutely confirming my suspicions about the GnuPG team

Sad that hackers stole the Flock API key and didn't use it to crapflood their systems with the Epstein files

My experience with Grindr over the past couple years has consisted entirely of:Annoying adsUnsolicited dick picsSoliciations for dick pics with all the social grace of a caveman jokeDudes that don't respect boundaries and get insta-blockedMarried "straight" men old enough to be my dad trying to solicit "on the DL" action on their way home to the missusDudes half my age sliding into my DMsDudes in my age range who berate you for not fitting neatly into the (subby bottom twink) or (dom top bear) archetypesSo I feel it deserves a lil shade

Hacker News: "MCP was always a bad idea"Me, who never bothered learning what MCP even is: "This must be how Valve feels: Win by doing nothing."
