time for another break from BlueSky, take care everyoomf and see you in about a week 😊

I love this image.

When you decide which 1/10 of your forces to execute as punishment by rolling a 10-sided die it is called dicemation

I used to get mad when people misused "decimated" to refer to things that weren't 1/10th destroyed, but I've given it some thought and now I've done a complete 360 on it

Moving to Norway be like: - Can't sign a rental agreement until I have a Norwegian bank account. - Can't get a bank account without a Norwegian ID number. - Can't get a Norwegian ID number without having a rental contract. It is absolutely hilarious to me how some people think immigration is easy.

And from a pure privacy perspective, the problem there is that once you’ve demanded every encrypted app add a scanning component, then changing what you scan for is just a software update to be agreed upon quietly in some committee down the line.

Informed consent for all trans people now! No more draconian waiting lists No more psychological assessment No more ban on puberty blockers for trans kids Unless government does this now! Trans people (including children and teens) will DIE!

does anyone know the most important thing about the new Pokémon game: will it have dresses and skirts?

wow! some time has passed and a previously far future event is now a near future event

I’m reading that a lot of people are in the Nile, but what are they doing there?

As discord suffers a massive data breach of people's personal data and ID documents congrats to the UK Government for bringing in the undercooked law that made it absolutely inevitable this would happen, repeatedly

uh oh 😳

Whilst we're on the subject of shocking living things, did you know police departments routinely shock human beings with tasers until they die and chalk up their deaths to a fake medical condition they call "excited delirium" that was invented by taser companies to absolve themselves of liability?

Yes, forcing users to upload documents for age verification is going to end very badly. Collecting sensitive documents, like ID is an especially bad idea. Do not collect shit that you do not need to collect, ever. If it's not collected it can't be leaked. That is all.

The Discord age-verification hack is much worse than was originally reported. 70,000 users were affected, with images of IDs, selfies, user names, IP addresses and, in some cases, financial details. Hackers are posting screenshots from over 1.5 terabytes of stolen data.

My Norwegian fiancé has opinions on this image I made to prove a silly point. That -aise means “with a raw egg” and that the complete word is the main ingredient of the sauce plus -aise Eg… mayonnaise = mayo + a raw egg Hollandaise = Dutchmen + a raw egg Bearnaise = Bears + a raw egg

holy shit the EU fucking sucks apnews.com/article/prot...

It’s called potable because it’s safe to boil potatoes in it. Not many people know this

On a lighter note Hyphenated Non-hyphenated I love the irony

What if they made girls but like they kiss other girls that'd be pretty epic tbh

ESL Person: What's an idiom that means something is unlikely to happen? English: Slim chance. ESL: So, if it's likely to happen, you say "fat chance?" English: Haha, you would think...

Can’t believe this needs saying but it’s absolutely not selfish to leave a country because you are in a marginalised group that is being targeted by the state. Privileged? Yes. But selfish? Fuck off.

A sentence for the ages: 'The president’s repeated depictions of Portland as “on fire” diverged from reality, the judge found.'

They call it troubleshooting because in the early days of technology if it didn't work and was causing you "trouble" you'd have to "shoot" it, which was the common practice for dealing with troubles at the time

are ghostwriters common in the horror genre?

got confused and hired a barista to represent me in british court 😭

Discord confirms that government IDs used for age-verification were compromised in a hack with a vendor. Who could have predicted? Oh, right.

I deleted my post about the Discord hack because the compromise was a third-party support service and not a third-party dedicated age verification system. Collecting user IDs is still bad and they are hard to protect, but being accurate in my posts is also important.

Meow backwards is women... That's gay :3

Signal to leave EU rather than comply w/ Chat Control, which would scan all messages sent over end-to-end encrypted platforms. Vote on Chat Control's future Oct 14. Germany is the swing vote. Officials there opposed the measure in past but new govt silent re position therecord.media/signal-calls...

The trick is to buy all your Halloween chocolates early enough to avoid the shopping rush but not so early that I eat an entire box by myself as my wife searches all the cupboards going “I swear I left them here” while I shrug my shoulders and sneak away.

social media apps are horrifying shapeshifters in the sense that if you look at the same app on someone else's phone it will appear kinda familiar, but the content in it is unsettlingly alien and feels full of lies it exudes wrongness unlike my feed which would never lie to me and loves me

If you get banned for making death threats about living people, and you get banned for making death threats about recently-dead people, we need to suss out the exact line for which it's OK to threaten a dead person. So, Iry-Hor, predyanstic king of Upper Egypt c. 3170 BC: I'm gonna kill you!

NEW: breach of Discord age verification data. Including some users passports & DLs Age verification is a badly implemented data grab wrapped in a moral panic. Mark my words, as age verification mandates expand, we'll end up more surveilled and less secure. 1/

My wife texted me this morning and said, "Your great." I replied: “No, you're great." She's been in a great mood ever since. I should correct her grammar more often.

📣 Germany's close to reversing its opposition to mass surveillance & private message scanning, & backing the Chat Control bill. This could end private comms-& Signal-in the EU. Time's short and they're counting on obscurity: please let German politicians know how horrifying their reversal would be.

People ask me how I stay sane. Well, the Nile isn't just a river in Egypt. It actually runs through 11 countries. Wait, I did it wrong
