Some context on this from @jeffjarvis:
One of the purposes of these on-again-off-again waffling tariffs, as well as the chaotic slash-and-burn nonsense of “DOGE,” is to create both damage to businesses •and• the possibility of exemptions, so that the Trump admin can squeeze them.
It’s basically a mafia protection money racket: “Nice business you got there, shame if it got tariffed.”
So yes, I expect direct harm to corporate allies of Trump, and I also expect too-convenient carve-outs. Both. mastodon.social/@jeffjarvis/11…

Cybersecurity is political. Period, end of story. If you could vote and didn’t bother because it was boring you’re just as responsible for loss of key research, ISAC funding, international collaboration, and federal jobs.
Same if you kept using X.
We warned you.

Reminds of the time years ago when someone at schneier.com wondered why there was less discussion of security issues, and more political.
My response: If you do not pay attention to the political issues, you will not have any computer network security issues to worry about.

So remember how a few days ago I shared this official Starlink document that just casually mentions that they found a piece of a Starlink satellite on a farm in Saskatchewan? starlink.com/public-files/Star…
I had really convinced myself it must be some kind of chatgpt gobbledygook. But... a reliable source confirmed that this really happened.
SpaceLifeForm reshared this.
SpaceX dropped potentially lethal debris from TWO DIFFERENT SPACECRAFT onto Saskatchewan within 6 months. And as far as I can tell, they just waltzed in and picked up the second piece without anyone official knowing about it. This is a very big problem for a lot of obvious legal reasons.
It mostly terrifies me because there are 7,000 Starlinks, and if each one leaves behind debris after demise, that's... a lot.

Two years ago I thought I had made the world's worst keyboard. Turns out it could get much, much worse!

it's a LOT easier to ☮️ convince a bear the meal is inconvenient, than to claw back at something that survives by claw.
Now is a good time to reduce exposure - everything from financially divesting from the USA and USD instruments, to cycling in emergency water and food. It makes us less convenient.

I'm debugging the ROM emulation on the Firestarter. It looks as if the code to monitor ROM enable and ROM selection is working but the host crashes once it starts accessing the ROM.
The first access of the ROM is when BASIC calls KL_INIT_BACK to initialise background ROMs.
The first read is the LD A,(&C000). A few cycles later the ROM's init routine at &C006 will be called.
