I noticed a trend among friends who want to learn Japanese: those who didn't spend a couple of weeks cementing hiragana in their minds are far more prone to giving up after a month or two. I was the same; there was no real progress for _years_ until I invested in memorizing hiragana. It wasn't a heavy investment, but it paid off.

Google creating a global centralized registration system for new Android apps is a bad idea for users, for developers, and competition. Google should nip it in the bud now. eff.org/deeplinks/2025/11/appl

Application Gatekeeping: An Ever-Expanding Pathway to Internet Censorship

Apple and Google use their app stores to shape what apps you can and cannot have on devices, but now more governments—including the U.S. government—are using legal and extralegal tools to lean on these gatekeepers in order to assert that same control. Google’s central registration system will be devastating for the Android developer community. EFF has signed on to F-Droid’s open letter. If you care about taking back control of tech, you should too.

Liquid Glass 不評だったんだろうなー

Teen Vogue -- a bastion of honest political journalism in the rancid Trump era -- is no more. It's being "folded into" Vogue, a fashion and lifestyle magazine, and has fired excellent staffers.

This sucks in every possible way.

Don't be fooled. Vogue + Teen Vogue = Vogue.

The atmosphere during TEEN VOGUE'S Fashion University at Conde Nast on October 24, 2009 in New York City.

As Condé Nast Folds Teen Vogue Into Vogue’s Website, NewsGuild Condemns the Plan

The union, which reps staffers, says the move was "clearly designed" to blunt the journalism of the brand, which has leaned in to progressive politics.

When you email issues to Obsidian Entertainment (the video game company) their AI support hallucinates and tells you to email Obsidian (the note-taking company) instead.

The perils of trusting an LLM with your customer support.

Thanks so much for reaching out and for the kind words about the game, we're thrilled you're loving Outer Worlds 2! It's great to hear you're even trying to contribute feedback on the issue tracker. You've run right into a common security feature where disabling 2FA also requires a current code to prove you're the account owner making the change. Since your issue is with the Obsidian account system (for the issue tracker) and involves account security, this is something our specialized account security team needs to handle directly. They're the only ones who can verify your ownership and safely disable the authenticator app link without a current code. Please email their dedicated support channel directly right now at support@obsidian.md. - In your email, explain exactly what you told me: you lost access to your authenticator app, you used a backup code to log in, but you can't disable 2FA because it still asks for an authenticator code. - Mention that you can provide any proof of account ownership they need. The support team at that address is equipped to work through the necessary identity verification steps to get that 2FA disabled for you.

In case you want to spam me, I receive an email every time someone makes a donation to . Just saying :)

Also, it’s best to do one bigger than 10€ so that the transaction fees don’t eat too much of it. But again, just saying ;)

Oof. I have to make some changes to infosec.exchange and related services - I just got a massive bill from Fastly. I’m hoping it’s a mistake, but I can’t afford to risk it not being a mistake so will be working to reroute traffic through a server in Hetzner.
