If he really wanted no one to be reading his tweets he’d be using BluSky or Masto…

https://infosec.exchange/ has a ton of infosec people, big names.

https://ioc.exchange/@matthew_d_green - And he's there BTW :)

Is there more to that thread? I can't read it if it exists, not sure if that is what the parent is talking about? But i don't have a Twitter account anymore, so maybe it's locked?

I don't know what you're seeing. It's a very long thread. Exceptionally good take on the whole thing. Apple has gone way out of their way to try and sell this thing. Above and beyond compared to how I imagine Microsoft or Google would have tackled this.

If your AI model sucks, you have to use other gimmicks to lure customers. That's marketing 101.

Create irrational fear about piracy, push privacy focused products and profits as the sheeple promptly fall for this

I've never seen someone use "sheeple" in an anti-privacy argument.

the most successful sheeple operation is the one the sheeple and the entire world is completely oblivious of it.

jokes aside, this is no different from people selling bunker beds, gold, ammunition, crypto, vpns. It is specifically for the set of gullible people who think they and their data is so important. Reality (except for 10,000 people or so) is, most lives and their 'precious' data is worthless. (I'm not talking about SSN, Bank Accounts -- those are well protected by tech cos HN seem to hate on)

Without being logged into X, you can only see the first post in a thread.

Not even that anymore, all links show is "Something went wrong, but don’t fret — let’s give it another shot."

Impossible to see any content.

That's likely due to tracking prevention or protection by your browser because X really, really wants to track you. If you disable the tracking protection and related settings, you may be able to see the single tweet.

Ok that made me spill my coffee.

Or maybe (gasp!) a blog?
