/me sets the morning alarm to youtu.be/r3BWaRkJ58M

Holy shit, there's an open carry #2A protest of ICE happening in Douglas County Colorado -- a very wealthy and very red suburb county of Denver. (I lived there for 16 years.) The Trump Administration pissing off committed gun owners sufficiently for them to join the protests against ICE is wild.

DISTRICTCON YEAR 1 is in full swing! We heard from Winnona DeSombre, our Founder & Director, and Opening Keynote Ian Levy 🪩

DistrictCon[1], lights are still on let’s gooooo! @districtcon.bsky.social

NEW: Microsoft handed the FBI the recovery keys to decrypt the hard drives of three laptops encrypted with BitLocker. BitLocker is enabled by default in modern Windows laptops, but Microsoft also prompts users to upload the recovery keys to the company's cloud, which opens up this possibility.

I just spit out my morning coffee… if cryptographers can’t figure it out, how are we mere mortals supposed to do it?!?!?

I could be doing things like, yard work, house work, helping kids with hw, weekly prep etc. but instead I’m gonna go see Tron in the theatres.

I have a close friend who spent the last 15 years as an ETL developer and whose department was recently laid off (jobs were outsourced). If anyone has or knows of any openings, this guy is intelligent, personable, and overall a great person, and I'd love to put you in touch. Reposts appreciated!

At first the title has some shock value but when you think about it for a second it actually makes sense for all Nazis to live in close quarters, “fenced in with heavily fortified walls with no outside communication”. Who would want this guy as a next door neighbor other than another Nazi?

@superducktoes.bsky.social I’m not sure what to do with this info, please advise.

Not enough goatse IMO…

Who had US-Iran kinetic conflict on their 2025 bingo card? I certainly didn’t. 20+ air refuel tankers moved closer to the region. Rhetoric on social media is escalating by the minute. Would be nice to have some competent leaders in charge especially at a time like this.

Another A++++ sign, no notes.

No notes, A+++++ sign!

I've said this multiple times and I will repeat it once again since it's very relevant to what's happening in the news today. Elon will get deported before midterms. #FAFO

Trump doesn’t need to do anything to win a 3rd term, Dems are ready to hand it to him on a platter. A candidate like AOC will never win a presidential election, at least not in the current climate that we’re in. The level of incompetence is astonishing.

I mean why do we bother pretending anymore. Just call it already.

In-n-out is the most overrated burger joint. Even FiveGuys is better than them and that’s not a high bar to clear.

Wow, end of an era. I guess that also means all those people who had CVEs assigned will have their hacker status revoked as well?

Chinese tariffs or …?

On Monday “90 day tariff pause” was fake news Presumably someone in the room leaked it before a certain group of people could get in on their market positions 48 hours has passed and the “90 day tariff pause” is announced That certain group of people are making a killing in the markets today

My kid just showed me how he bypasses his iOS screen time limit and my mind is blown! FaceTime someone and share your screen with them, then give them screen control, and voila, magically your screen time is turned off. WTF Apple, your screen time controls are utter garbage.

Word on the street is that BSM needs more followers on BlueSky. Can we help them get the word out?

Here’s a plausible scenario I’ve seen play out like this before. A group chat takes place in a messaging app. One of the participants attempts to add some/all unrecognized numbers form the chat to their address book. They record a number with the incorrect name. (1/2)
