Hot take: The "HR filter" that stops hiring managers from getting junior candidates into the pipeline is a bigger cybersecurity risk to the org than most threat actors.

I today the day I get stuff together and cut USB sticks to install NetBSD on a 2017 macbook and figure out managing FreeDOS for flashing RAID card firmwares?
Thinking about how we have to vote in our community elections for mayor and other community elected members coming up soon and the language being used by some terfs to hide what they're really doing from the public in order to get elected...
Oh they just want "child appropriate school material" by banning lgbtq+ books from classrooms
Like just say you want to ban books if you really think it's a problem for children, but I know you understand exactly what you're doing and the legitimate backlash you'll recieve if you're honest about what you're doing so you hide behind a face to get the thing you want so you can hurt people
@HippyWizard The thing about cake pops is that they are a huge fucking hassle to make, are like 30% palm oil by volume, and are the best treat ever invented.

#Shadowrun Shower Thought Questions: 1) Can a mage use FAB as an ink only visible with astral sight? 2) Does that mean I can put FAB in a printer and print things that spirits can read? 3) Does that mean I can print off top secret data and make a backup with an ally spirit?
One of the fascinating things about the mass migration to GMail is how giving your email address to a company and having them send you almost daily spam is considered *normal* and *good*.
@GordSpence So lots of people moved to GMail in order to get their antispam tools - but somehow, I get a *daily* email from LinkedIn telling me ALL THE JOBS, and I've not opened it in *years*. Yet somehow, Gmail finds that not to be spam

@HippyWizard Sure, but how how many "execs" (you know the type), just read the subject/snippet and want to read that part only before deleting and would bitch and moan if gmail started filtering them out?

@HippyWizard Who's we though? I don't get any of that stuff in my inbox - I don't subscribe to the nonsense in the first place and when I do accidentally it's unsubscribed with gmail's magic unsubscribe button

@HippyWizard iirc, a prior customer relationship serves as a basis for exemption in Do Not Call list legislation, so email behaving the same is consistency with a standard explicitly adopted by society

One of these weeks, I'm going to wake up the morning after dojo night without my body reminding me that it's been two and a half years since I've been getting more exercise than walking on a regular basis.
Babysitting a 4 year old has me convinced that what video games need is “little buddy mode,” where a kid can have a character that just jogs along with you and can help/get their own encouraging score but cannot be harmed

Bought my son objectively too many train tracks and trains today, but they kept a 3 year old *entertained* and *happy* for over 8 hours on a rainy/gray day, so it was the right call
I went to my mum's outdoor 60th birthday party and she had invited her wheelchair bound friend to the party. It was in the back garden with a very narrow pathway to the party and they (my mum's friend and her mum, also my mum's friend) wanted to get past this awkward part that was too narrow because of the concrete stairs to the house.
So my brother and I stick around to help. He suggests he lift the very heavy wheelchair in which the person in the wheelchair and her mum both say that it's too heavy and they'd rather not try. To which my brother starts inspecting the wheelchair and goes to touch it multiple times, at which point I said, each time, "you can't touch it, you need to ask first" (he did actually touch it once, I think)
Which like should be common knowledge, I thought was common knowledge. Like, in the vein of, you wouldn't touch someone's purse without asking why would you touch their wheelchair (obviously this is an imperfect example because wheelchairs are not just like purses etc).
After they were past this tricky point, my brother, gives me this absolutely furious-with-me look and storms off to calm down. I hate it. But I feel incredibly strongly about consent, and it is actually an important thing... :(
It’s like touching someone’s leg, so the purse comparaison indeed doesn’t really work. This is also why the expression “wheelchair bound” doesn’t make much sense. A wheelchair is liberating rather than limiting or confining. Prefer “using a wheelchair”.
I recognize the irony of pointing this out as a comment to a story about someone who got upset to be pointed out their behavior regarding disability wasn’t welcome, but I felt it was important other people knew about this expression.
child goes to the doctor. says his suffering is unbearable. says all the world's miseries are on his head. doctor says, "You should go to Omelas. Remarkable place. It's the Festival of Summer, and almost everyone there lives in joy and peace." "but doctor," the child says--

Working through trauma really makes you feel internally turbulent in a way that is really complicated to express
One day I'll feel internally stable again and I look forward to it... I feel lucky and thankful that I have some idea what it's supposed to look and feel like ❤️
I should do some art expression tonight 😊, and consider what audiobooks might be fun
People always tell me their systems with an arcane DSL are better and more maintainable than "a bash script", but then their jobs require 10 years with that DSL
