<p>someone will try to make a thing that competes with Signal and it will go very badly and soatok will begrudgingly write a blog post about it</p>

<p>also someone will overhype the absolute shit out of a bug that turns out to be a complete nothingburger. I&#39;m gonna guess... something related to USB-C.</p>

<p>on the plus side there will be some funny vulnerability names</p>

<p>Bloomberg will continue to have the same highly accurate and well informed technical reporting as they have displayed in prior years</p>

<p>ransomware groups will continue to absolutely shithouse major companies using really low-hanging techniques and legislators will blather on about doing something about it for another 12 months unless maybe someone says china did it and then racism might get them off their ass and we&#39;ll all be deeply disillusioned about it</p>

<p>and also source code access will continue to be denied to assessors despite source assisted tests being vastly greater value for all involved</p>

<p>my 2025 infosec prediction is that asset lists will still be as outdated and incomplete and nonexistent as we saw in 2005.</p><p>here are some more... 1/??????</p>

<p>Hey <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/ASEAN" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>ASEAN</span></a> friends, can we have a signal group chat so that when we travel to our countries, we can accommodate each other. Hahaha </p><p><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/tootSEA" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>tootSEA</span></a></p>

<p>Making smalltalk at a local grocery store, a guy behind the counter telling me about his Christmas celebration and casually mentioning his boyfriend. This is, I think, is what real freedom actually feels like. I wonder if that&#39;s something that could go over just as easily in a red state.</p>
