Supercomputers, trickery, court orders, and persuasion defeat widely used crypto.

If you were waiting for things to be “the worst” before taking a stand against the rampant, unwarranted, breaches of your privacy by the current US government and its agencies, that time is here.

Reblogging to track, since Flickr’s stats are worthless.

Yahoo owns both Flickr and Tumblr. This photo was posted to Tumblr directly from my Flickr (and that’s fine), it even leads back to the original Flickr source, but I have NO way to track it via my Flickr stats page. Tumblr doesn’t even show up as a hit source, I had to use Google reverse image search to find it.

This is an amazing example of how, despite any good intentions, Yahoo really is too far out of the game when it comes to how the modern web functions and it is catastrophically failing to leverage it’s high profile acquisitions beyond just tech news headlines.
