Yeah, that. From the era of horse_ebooks, Riker Googling, etc
they used to run the account with a Swift avi for the first while, then switched to Cortana (iirc?) for a bit (can’t remember if this coincided with twitter having its “impersonating accounts” panic), and dunno after that because I stopped seeing it
it’s PR Newswire - the entire content of this will be a press release sent out by the companies themselves, having been written by the pr/marketing departments of the entities involved l
I find swiftonsec a tedious poster at best, so /shrug from me on this
yeah, the whole site’s a journey
I was hoping it’d have some content along with the buzzword headings, alas
saw this ridiculous shit on the side of a jag on the highway a little bit ago
best guess is rental-contract jag by a hustler, but the half-hearted AI non-mention is why I thought to post it here. we're rapidly evolving in the grift cycle!
SwiftOnSecurity (spoiler: probably not actually Taylor Swift)
it's some US infosec guy working at a corp, identity was figured out a couple years ago
it was a work of art, esp. because of the domain
there is content there, and I did manage to see it, but ... ja :D
also, this stuff isn't "google fiber" only as in the residential/muni shit but also the undersea this-links-countries kind: https://cloud.google.com/blog/products/infrastructure/learn-about-googles-subsea-cables
years ago facebook got extremely into owning the channel in multiple ways (for the reasons outlined in that post). the FreeBasics program, Libra, etc. all kinds of shit
because if you own the channel, you can charge others any amount you want for access, while giving yourself ~~special treatment~~ "having different internal cost structures between business units" (cf. amazon, as doctorow's written in recent years)

awful’s probably okay, .systems is run by Donuts and they’re one of the bigger operations around
pro-tip: do not learn things about how TLDs work (and I mean the bit beyond dns architecture), it is cursed knowledge you can’t unlearn
and with that warning delivered, y’all may freely run to hyperfocus on this, and realize too late it’s a gateway drug
regarding backup domain: yeah always handy to have something, but nfi how to port it. AP’s identity design there really leaves something to be desired :/
