- No.

COALTAR OF THE DEEPERS - Sazabi

a friend suggested “Delusionalism — Mass Of The Fermenting Dregs” to me and this is also excellent and i am suddenly wondering why i haven't listened to this band's entire discography, i probably accidentally dismissed them based on namefeel lmao ;_; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5p_DvecvJKc

I recently found out that my department at work is being shut down, so I'm looking for a new position!

I spent the last 6 years building advanced security assessment capabilities around hardware/IoT, industrial, marine OT, and x86 platforms. Before that I spent 5 years as a pentester. I excel at weird and novel stuff where there's no template.

I'm based in the UK and I'm looking for a remote full-time role.

This year's DMCA section 1201 rulemaking process finished a few days ago. There's already been comments by various people on the position taken by the Register on the proposed exemption for video game preservation, but there's something else that caught my eye when reading the recommendation of the Register: For the exemption on data mining for research purposes, they spent considerable amounts of text on considering if the security mechanisms researchers would be required to use are adequate

Today is the 50th anniversary of women gaining the right to have mortgages, business loans and credit cards in their own names.

I am 47 years old. My mom did not have access to her own credit card. People like to think that this stuff happened in the ancient past. It didn't. People you know were directly affected by anti-women systemic oppression.

Dario recently forced me to create an account to continue using a blood sugar monitor I already own (😡), so of course I gave my name as "Fuck Off."

This turns out to have been an amazing decision, because they inject your name into their marketing emails. 😂

I love how Apple's HQ is literally a walled garden

Reminds me of:

when people defend some general purpose tech "it's a tool, just like a hammer"

Alaska's education commissioner drafted a proposal banning students from using cellphones at school, citing multiple studies linking cellphone distractions to poor academic achievement. The state Board of Education voted to approve the ban.

Just one problem: most of the studies cited in the policy don't exist; they were hallucinated by bullshit-generator machines ("AI"). This crap is now guiding public policy!

Turns out the way to close the popup without enrolling is to *squints* click this barely visible white [x] button surrounded by a cloudy blue-ish background.

Fuck you, Atlassian.

For fuck’s sake. My customer got some kind of a “Keep up to date with status changes!” popup in Jira, and the only visible action button automatically enrolled us in a Confluence trial. Good thing I got a “Welcome to your trial, you will automatically be upgraded to a paid account in one month” email so I can cancel it before those chucklefucks charge us.
