things I did not expect to see in a presidential memo (Biden's final one on cybersecurity): references to encrypted DNS and BGP route origin validation filtering. (sec. 4). Also a mandate for email to be end-to-end encrypted by default for federal agencies (!) - I wonder if this will mean PGP or S/MIME or something else … whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/p

@darkuncle while that was good to see, Trump rescinded that order already.

@jerry @darkuncle "jesus wtf" is all I have to say to that

Teknique is my middle name

@greyllama @jerry @darkuncle You think he’d prevent his boss from reading government email?

Honestly, that’s the Occam’s Razor explanation at this point.

@tek @greyllama @jerry honestly, the most likely explanation here is that he will issue his own nearly identical order, then claim credit for it being a good idea. the thing he hates the most is anybody else but him getting credit for anything.

@darkuncle @tek @jerry the re-writing of history is an old fascist trick, "I did that".

@darkuncle @greyllama @jerry Wait wait wait, has anyone told him about Trumpcare? Or the Trump Green Energy Plan? Or Trump Beats Global Warming? 🤔
