Me: “@copilot UNSUBSCRIBE”

Copilot: “Sure thing b5, you’re so right. I’ve gone ahead and cancelled your GitHub account! 🚀”

seriously, why on earth can't I dismiss this message?

Twitter dying I can live with. The enshitification of github–however-is a material problem.

Yep yep yep 💯, i like the active vs passive language.

In security circles “trust on first use” is seen as a very bad thing, but strikes me as exactly the right thing here: spend as little of the user’s active trust as possible: by delegating to a secure, passive, zero trust protocol

It’s a tragedy of the name. Zero trust is a means of strengthening bonds between people: it maintains human expectations about computer behavior

P.S. I linked to @rklaehn.bsky.social's twitter post above, but here's his bsky post: bsky.app/profile/rkla...
I recently got nerdsniped by @zooko2.bsky.social
into implementing fast BLAKE3 hashing of multiple small blobs.

I wrote a blog post about my experiment.

iroh.computer/blog/hashing...

It would be cool to polish this a bit and turn it into a public API.
