spurgelaurels··on Show HN: Continue? Y/N: A 60-second game about AI agent permission fatigue
Fun game, but it showed the lack of security hygiene employed by the game writer. It said `cat ~/.zshrc` was bad because it would share tokens and secrets, but I would never put secrets into my shell rc.

Domestic partner aggro.
spurgelaurels··on Want to Stop Ransomware Attacks? Ban Bitcoin and Other Cryptocurrencies
Victim blaming won't help here. Ransomware is generally a sophisticated attack by groups that tend to have the finances, skills, and resources to stay ahead of 80% of the companies operating today.
