Dhole Moments - Software, Security, Cryptography, and Furries
Writings about information security, cryptography, software, and humanity, from a member of the furry fandom with a dhole fursona.

Dhole Moments (a play on "dull moments") is my blog.
Here's a short thread about it, some of its highlights, and noteworthy things that have happened related to it.
(Some are at least mildly interesting, I promise.)

Ditto for the mortgages, the national debt (which they always confuse with consumer debt), and the rich farmers. However ridiculous and nonsensical they were, Trump made those associations very, VERY clear.

EVERY person who voted "for the ponies" did so with the understanding (mistaken as it was) that the ponies would be a result of poking immigrants with hot pokers. They knew that. They understood what the policy was. They knew what would happen before they could expect their fucking ponies.

No matter, though. Maybe we can't get MAGA to understand object permanence, but we have everything we need to understand their votes.

Their minds are still set to "ponies". They voted for an outcome, dammit, and they didn't get that outcome!
They are unwilling or maybe even unable to pry their eyes off their desired outcomes long enough to consider them in the context of the associated policies.
I don't think we can fix that.

They feel like they're morally in the clear because, well, they voted for the PONIES, you see. Trump didn't give them ponies; they were duped! It's not their fault that all this BAD shit is happening! They didn't vote for that!

You and I look at it, and we say, "No, dumbfuck, you DID vote for this. You were sending me mocking text messages on voting day about how awesome it would be when you could feed rocky road ice cream to your brand new pony."

Now they're saying they "didn't vote for this" because they're facing the ACTUAL consequences of Trump's policies, not the crazy shit he said would make it happen.
The consequences we predicted. The consequences we WARNED them about. The consequences they MOCKED US for predicting.

The MAGA crowd wanted the obviously fucking impossible consequences, even as everybody with, y'know, COMMON SENSE told them those consequences were completely divorced from reality.
They then mocked us when we said that the REAL consequences of his policies would be MUCH worse.

But really, Trump has been incredibly up-front on matters of policy. He said he knew nothing about Project 2025, sure, but he had his "Agenda 47" website full of VIDEOS of him regurgitating chunks of Project 2025, nearly word-for-word.
His policies were VERY clearly stated, and he's stuck to them.

I've been thinking about the "I didn't vote for this" line from remorseful Trump voters, especially since my sister in law, who mocked and insulted my wife in January for being scared enough to leave the country, recently started in with the "this isn't what I voted for!" shit.

steam is apparently allowing "this game had AI in it that it didn't disclose" as a valid return statement, so if you or anyone you know actually paid $70 for slop, get that money back
Insulting to the players, insulting to the IP, insulting to the medium, the developers. And the craft itself. Fuck you executives who pushed this garbage.

Stubborn inflation continues to make the cost of living unbearable for many Americans. A number of inventive solutions have emerged — but with a common theme: putting consumers deeper into debt.
