Sometimes horny on main (behind CW), very much into kink (bondage, freeuse, CNC, and other stuff), and believe it or not, very much a submissive bottom :p
My spoons are limited, so I may not always have the energy to respond to messages.
Strong views about abolishing oppression, hierarchy, agency, and self-governance - but I also trust people by default and give them room to grow, unless they give me reason not to. That all also applies to technology and how it's built.

I've expressed this before on multiple occasions, but why are finance people and cybersecurity people allowed to use technical jargon as if we all should know what they mean but scientists aren't?
re: "no politics in tech" commentary, slightly doom-y
@polyfloyd While true, the type of DIY practiced by the crowd in question is often of a more off-the-shelf nature; it relies on the availability of ATX computer components (motherboards, CPUs, etc.), for example, which is entirely dependent on the continued interest of manufacturers to produce those things.
That's not necessarily a *bad* thing, but it means that it's extremely vulnerable to capitalism; if manufacturers decide that it's more profitable to only manufacture integrated systems (which is where things are headed), that's just the end of it.
This is distinct from more punk-like DIY, where the point is to find novel (not manufacturer-approved) ways to use things that might otherwise be considered useless.

Okay for real tho I live in a student town and it’s SO extremely obviously all the girls in their early twenties are dressing like trans girls did 10-15 years ago. I had no idea I was so ahead of the curve back then lol

Does anyone have a physical copy of Edge #398 (July, Hades 2 cover) that can do me a solid?
I'm after a scan of page 14, first page of the As Dusk Falls article, around 1200 x 1500 in size. The digital PDF is missing it 😤

quickly writing a script that halts the system, setting up a systemd timer that runs it after 20 minutes, and deploying to all my NixOS machines in solidarity

@ryanc UA strings are like Game of Thrones lineages:
“Mozilla, fifth of their name, born to MSIE and Windows NT in the 6.2nd year of their reign; of fair complexion and compatible rendering. Parent to two children, their names being Gecko and Webkit. Died in their 24th year of wounds sustained in a corporate merger.”

Now's a good time to do that risky IT maintenance or downtime requiring work. You can just blame it on of many other outages going on

@babe Well... shitposting is the "band playing while titanic sinks" of our time, no?

I would just like to confirm to everyone that I absolutely DID NOT mishear #CrowdStrike as #CloudStrike this morning.
Definitely not.

To be fair to Crowdstrike, they've probably stopped a lot of cyber attacks happening today
