Hello! I'm ian, or ecnepsnai, whichever is harder.
I post about whatever I feel like on this account - so if you're here looking for only updates about my work, then you probably just want to move on.
I have a blog if you prefer more long-form reading: ianspence.com/blog

my hot take is the term "end-to-end encryption" has always been misleading and shouldn't be used.
plain old HTTPS is "end-to-end encryption", but totally different than how Signal is E2EE. its a confusing term ripe for intentional misuse.

I went to a GameStop yesterday because of a Black Friday sale on a game I want (and I prefer physical copies).
Naturally they were out of stock, and it looked like they basically don't even bother with games anymore. It's like 75% funkopop and Harry Potter merchandise.
