Any of my network living in Colorado and willing to chat? I have some questions about moving back out there.

It is nothing short of genuinely impressive how much money Microsoft makes, compared directly to how utterly shit to the core its software is to use.

If you don't want people to call you the Gestapo, maybe try not acting like the Gestapo? 🤔

In business colleges, if you take an ethics class do they immediately expel you?

Just sayin’ joinmastodon.org

I can't tell you how much I appreciate #VA healthcare. I sat down with a nurse for 30 minutes this morning and two doctors for about an hour. There was no rush. They took their time. I received care. I didn't feel like I was at a drive through window. #CAVHS #VAHealthcare #Veteran

Marge says that Republicans can end the shutdown anytime they want without Democratic votes.

Coming on the day after Gov. Sanders gushed about Google's gigantic new AI data center in W. Memphis, this seems like it might be ... a cautionary tale? Trouble? #Arkansas

Constitution, not president or secdef. Remember that.

Can you be normal just for a day, America?

So many good and reputable companies are ruining their reputations by incessant sales calls.

The thin-skinned, smooth-brained, fragile snowflake and America’s most special little boy simply CANNOT HANDLE being made fun of. It must hurt his widdle feefees. Do more of it. Ridicule him into the ground. Poke fun at his stupidity. Jab at every single absurd thing he does and says. Don’t let up.

I do not know another way to express to people that trying to appease fascists by “being a good minority” or totally deferring to them publicly has saved absolutely no marginalized group or profession in human history. They are coming after us anyway. Even if you scold peers for not being nice.

Watching it now!

Companies afraid to stand up to the brain rotted right wingers and tell them to shut the fuck up and sit back down.

Sure, do this. But also recognize that his statements are so heinous that there is NO context can make them okay. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

This. 100% this. If you're on a panel and someone says "we should start murdering these people I don't like" and you don't express how messed up this idea is, you're part of the problem. If you say nothing and nod, you're expressing that you're on the same team.

i’m not going to be lectured about political violence by people whose politics is violence

Left wing building: affordable housing, accessible public transport, democratic institutions. Silicon Valley building: $200/month AI virtual girlfriend that boils the ocean and gives its users psychosis.

Police don't prevent crime. An equitable society where basic needs are met and people lead fulfilling lives does.

If you deployed to Los Angeles, you followed illegal orders. If you’re ordered to deploy to Chicago, those orders too will be illegal. If you’re in uniform, you’re subject to the UCMJ and have a DUTY to not follow unlawful orders. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

There's 4 social networks these days that have 100% unapologetically converted into propaganda channels and should have been unequivocally blocked years ago. This failure will haunt humanity for decades. Mark my words.

I always forget how nice it is to have the London Underground and be able to get anywhere in the city for like $4. I imagine LA could make something even better, if it wasn’t for the fact it’d make like 3 billionaires sad.

It's all about propaganda. All of it.

"He brought joy to world by leaving it" the headlines will read. (Of course they won't. They'll act like it's princess Diana 2)

In Trump’s America, Kennedy kills you!

With all the tariff BS and de minimis confusion, it's a great time to buy used and keep more things out of a landfill somewhere.

The end of the de minimis exemption is hitting niche companies hard. Shortly after Ploopy announced it'd temporarily halt shipments to the US, dev board maker Olimex also suspended direct shipments to the US. olimex.wordpress.com/2025/08/26/w...

Is he a man though!

Ponder this:

So say we all.

You really should read this article on how criminal groups routinely bypass EDR. This isn’t state stuff. I see it all the time, and have for a while. The sad truth is EDR is one rung in defense in depth and it surviving tampering is a perpetual cat mouse game. www.theregister.com/2025/08/14/e...

I had an idea... If an app, service, or software platforms gratuitously shoehorns AI into their product, I should abandon using it. I wonder how difficult or easy that will be. #AI #INFOSEC #tech

One of the Arkansas PBS board members who voted against renewing network's PBS affiliation - which would have left it bereft of programming - was Maria Sullivan, wife of State Sen. "Book Ban" Dan Sullivan, who has been a persistent critic of the agency. #Arkansas #arpx #arnews

If AI is “just a productivity tool,” why do its founders act like they just invented a new religion? 🤔

The thing is, ending the war in Ukraine is absolutely simple. Russia leaves. The war is over. The end.

. @system76.bsky.social I love the design, weight, and specs of the Pangolin... except for the battery life. Do you have any plans for an upcoming version to have better battery life?

I just discovered this meme and I love it. Happy #PrideMonth to all my #LGBTQIA + friends!

To ALL ACTIVE DUTY and NATIONAL GUARD. READ your UCMJ SECTION 90-92 and remember YOUR OATH‼️ If you’re active duty military or National Guard, you have the right—and duty—under the UCMJ, to refuse unlawful orders. Call the GI Rights Hotline confidential:1-877-447-4487

What are some good lightweight 15" #laptops that will run #Linux well with reasonable battery life? I'd even take a 16" if it was lightweight enough. #tech

Lately, I've been working to kick the last of my big tech dependence and found @infomaniak.bsky.social's kSuite and Iove what they are doing. I'm using the free individual plan for now but I'll likely upgrade to mykSuite+ soon. I wish they'd allow the individual plans to use custom domains, though.

Maybe I should try this with some hashtags? #linux #privacy #bigtech #opensource

Do any of these #European #research invites include Computer Engineering or Computer Science? I will likely get a PhD as the next step in my career and would love to study, research, and teach in an environment that values humanity over profits.

Another great one here. Many people we put up on pedestals should be dropped in a pit instead. We worship the wrong people in our capitalist religion. www.wheresyoured.at/the-era-of-t...

Picked this up from elsewhere but really liked the message. "Even better to be skeptical of Silver Bullets and favor tried, true, and boring solutions and approaches..." This is my security mantra. I dislike all the new tool marketing hype that drowns our industry. chrlschn.dev/blog/2025/05...

Very open ended question meant for stoking discussion... I'm working to migrate out of big tech to open source, non-US, and privacy conscious platforms and software packages. Anyone else doing that? Any gems you are finding along the way?

Zero reason for anyone in 2025 to be writing about Ken fucking Ham.
