I was lucky enough to get to see it in person. What a great breakdown of the events and impacts.

Finally home after a great #defcon33. Huge thanks to the organizers of @defcon.bsky.social and all the Goons for putting on such a great con. And special thanks to the @defconpolicy.bsky.social crew for making me feel so welcome. See you all next year!

I would challenge developers to think broader than this. We also need outfits that are fierce, bad ass, tough, relaxed, and [checks notes] fleek.

Great talk on community building by @hdm.io and @circuitswan.bsky.social at the @dianainitiative.bsky.social. Definitely one of those talks that I didn’t know I needed till I was there. #defcon33 #CommunityBuilding

Having a great day at #defcon33, mostly hanging out at the @defconpolicy.bsky.social village. Meeting cool people and having great conversations.

You and me both. I would love time to really sit and talk with each and all of them. They were very gracious with their time even tho they had somewhere they were going.

Great opening talk from @heatherwest.bsky.social for Policy@Defcon! She even tried to answer my ridiculous question. Super excited to see what else the #PolicyAtDEFCON33 village has in store. #DEFCON33 #HackersMeetPolicymakers

Sign me up. I’ll give a talk on “Why is your backpack so heavy? Avoiding chiropractor bills by not carrying everything you own at a convention.”

Just remember that Security is like an Ogre. It’s cumbersome, no one wants to think about it, everyone assumes it lives in a swamp and that it will block you when you try to cross a bridge. Also, it has layers.

Congrats on the new gig! I’m still a few episodes behind on IM but I really appreciate the direction you all have taken it in since the rebranding.

And explaining to the sales person that their “14 day trial“ is going to be more like 45 days to actually get all integrations and testing scheduled and setup.

What a great idea. I’m betting you got a lot of “No way” and “How did that actually work?” reactions from them.

The best part is when some senior engineer says “Hey can you get this software for us, we need it for something we’re doing next week?” and you have to explain why buying this thing you’ve never heard of from a vendor you’ve never talked to has a less than 0% chance of happening.

That whole channel is a fever dream. And yes they have the flip version where Ozzy sings Country Roads.

I don’t care what that study says. The four presentations of Autism are Leonardo, Michelangelo, Raphael, and Donatello.

@cdprojektred.com You can stop now. We get that you feel bad about how the release went, and that we laughed at you. 2.1 was great, Phantom Liberty was incredible. You don’t have to keep fixing it. You can let it go, we forgive you. Just go make Witcher 4 or something, it’s ok.

I’m obviously the guy at 2:00 that is confused why he’s even on this list, but definitely should be on that list.
