OH: the difference between dotcom and now is that people actually liked the internet

This is Limburg BE, not NL - though they are pretty close. www.bsides-limburg.be/home

Save the date! @blackhoodie.bsky.social will be at BSides Limburg next year, on March 13th our dear Paula will teach a reverse engineering and binary exploitation training 🥳🥳🥳 Thanks so much for hosting y'all ❤️

*Fuck* cancer

Nooooooooo!!!!!!!! Girlguiding was always so wonderfully trans inclusive and this development is truly chilling. Sending solidarity to the trans community. We love you!

For those who don't want to spend December trying to avoid hearing the blessed St George of Michael, here is Ali's excellent Christmas music bingo card

Putting a brave face on it. #strictly www.independent.co.uk/tv/culture/s...

Increasingly sure this whole fiasco is in fact a long-running postmodern art/immersive theatre project designed to give us all something to laugh at in these difficult times. Perhaps put on by the Judean Popular Front's theatre collective.

Hey @erinbiba.bsky.social I hope this finds you

#5pmFriday & it’s time to process the week’s events. Everything, whether it was a success or a struggle, comes to an end. The real victory lies in taking time to learn & grow from it, & to be grateful for the experience, before you reset for the week ahead. Still we rise!

On the Factor Fexcectorn and autism bicycle AI slop study: I got an answer from Springer Nature this morning that this scientific paper will be retracted! 🧪 Full story: nobreakthroughs.substack.com/p/riding-the...

Apparently @nature.com are going to retract this paper, but will take some time.

In case you missed it, there's a livestream for @grehack.bsky.social Two, in fact. This one's mine: www.youtube.com/live/X-ZJH4d...

Hey all, do I have any UK based concept artists following me (or who knows anyone) who would be up for a long term 22 month contract working on Dragonwilds at Jagex? Remote with a very occasional day in office in Cambridge. Development experience and fantasy genre work is a must. Mid level role.

I keep hearing people coughing in public, trains are filled with people covering their noses with handkerchiefs. It's evident that we're in the middle of a flu and covid wave.

OMG, example.com has *changed* 😮 Really took me by surprise

Another impactful judgement from the German Federal Court of Justice highlighting that a mere, even if temporary, loss of control over personal data following a GDPR violation constitutes a non-material damage. The judgement in its entirety: juris.bundesgerichtshof.de/cgi-bin/rech...

this is amazing news - the HPV vaccine promises to eliminate cervical cancer in countries where uptake is high.

Humans are excellent at anthropomorphising _anything_ for companionship. We collectively understand why Tom Hanks' character in Castaway makes a 'friend' out of a basketball and becomes attached to it. We also understand that this doesn't mean the basketball is sentient.

My usual experiment to find out how bad LLMs are at technical instructions (wiring a UK plug) as applied to grok. It's just as bad as any other LLM out there:

@ianbetteridge.com’s law remains undefeated despite strenuous efforts of the most credulous

Learnt another Britishism that Americans get confused by… “Are you going to have a lie-in tomorrow?” Response was resoundingly “where am I going to get a lion?!” Apparently it’s just called “sleeping in” and it’s a verb not a noun! 🛌💤🦁

absolutely massive news from the EU's top court! while it doesn't force every EU country to perform same-sex marriages, it *does* require them to recognise same-sex marriages from other countries the same way they recognise other foreign marriages it's a big step! www.reuters.com/world/europe...

It's that time of year

Victory for GEMA in Germany against OpenAI The Munich Regional Court has handed down its much-awaited decision in GEMA v OpenAI, and it is… a lot, and right on the back of the Getty Images High Court ruling. On the surface, this looks like a clear defeat for OpenAI: the court found copyright…

Shit posting has a long and noble history

Massive shoutout out to whoever handles the Royal Canadian Air Force’s social media account. They responded to every single comment on their already very solid Trans Day of Remembrance post and they responded like this…

Cybersecurity isn’t ready for the conversation about how bad sexism and ageism are in the whole pen test / red team community, or how influencer culture and the saturated market are enabling it to get worse. www.linkedin.com/pulse/tryhac...

"That’s the magic trick. Not “have a glass of bubbly..." but “we have surgically removed 70% of the stress from your journey before you even see the aircraft”. Yet your advert skips serenely over this, as if the airport were some neutral prelude rather than the seventh circle of hell."

"Enhanced technical safeguards will also be introduced, to detect and block coordinated or fraudulent voting activity. And stronger limits on promotion will be implemented to curb disproportionate third-party influence, including government-backed campaigns." 👀

Fixed it for you. Idiots! If the exclusion is based on appearance then it will certainly impact cis folks as well as trans folks.

This is wonderful. Douglas Adams has risen 🙏

Rebecca Heineman, pioneering co-founder of Interplay and legendary programmer behind The Bard's Tale 3, has passed away at 62 after battling cancer. A trailblazer in gaming and LGBTQ+ advocacy, her legacy will never be forgotten. #GameLegend #LGBTQ+

Yeah. «Annoying As a Service»

Cloudflare is down which means that downdetector - the service people use to check if things are down - is also down. Funny internet we are having now.

😀 I feel seen. Extremely tenacious, or very persistent tend to be how I describe myself. Add to that, detail orientated.

Times like this I miss thisismyjam - where I could passively aggressively post songs. Also, Spotify keep screwing with my playlists.

Missed @bsidesmunich.bsky.social today (though I'm sure @ministraitor.bsky.social will have the vids online soon), and I am missing BlackAlps later this week, as I'm supposed to be adulting. Could have done without the additional spanner in the works. Managed to do some important personal emails.

What a day!

Always be kind to the crew. In fact, always be kind to everyone, then you don't need to do it in specific cases.

Love the phrases "Cognitive Cost" and "Executive Function Theft" to pinpoint how exhausting it is to be constantly bombarded with apps telling you to use AI. I've been calling it "Corporate pressure" and "Force feeding". It's quite a lot right now. Seems a bit desperate tbh.

*whispers*: social media isn't isolating us, exponentially increasing productivity demands and wholly eliminated boundaries between work and private life are isolating us.

Remembering Hedy Lamarr on her birthday 🎂 📷 Clarence Sinclair Bull, 1940 For her classified work on frequency-hopping with George Antheil, Lamarr won the Pioneer Award of the Electronic Frontier Foundation in 1997.

So it turns out... the US air travel system was incredibly, deeply dependent on federal funding to just run day-to-day all this time, to the benefit of private airline shareholders, when everyone thinks that state-run trains are leeching off the government. Weird!

It's amazing how many people never got the memo that people are more likely to help you when you don't make them miserable.

every generation loves Rumours. it’s fucking Rumours
