Hm this mortuary guide looks interesting…

Mint is a good recommendation. I’ve used it for most of a decade because I just want my system to work.

Emotionally? No. Linguistically, sure.

It’s seriously insane growing up on star trek and then seeing it come to life.

Still holding out for flying cars.

And warp drive!

This feels very “just found out about politics and damn” tbh.

Ok.

I think this would be of value for sharing with people that aren’t aware (my kid when she was younger).

Or is there a better resource to do this?

This is all I’ve run across on reverse engineering, so far but it is quite interesting.

Some of the trust comes from eyes on the project thanks to it being open source. This thing got discovered, after all. Not right away, sure, but before it spread everywhere. Same question of trust applies to commercial software too.

Ideally, PR reviews help with this but smaller projects esp with few contributors may not do much of that. I doubt anyone has spent time understanding the software supply chain (SSC) attack surface of their product but that seems like a good next step. Someone needs to write a tool that scans the SSC repos and flags certain measures like the # of maintainers.

PS: I have the worst allergies I’ve had in ages today and my brain is in a histamine fog so maybe I shouldn’t be trying to think about this stuff right now lol cough uuugh blows nose

Is there really anything they couldn’t collect?

Well maybe they aren’t experienced info security professionals :)

I think you win.

If you haven’t yet, give Lief Ove Andsnes’ rendition a try.

Everyone has their favorite interpretations, I guess. This is one of mine. From a pianist that impressed the hell out of me when I first heard him.

(The album Horizons if the link doesn’t work or you’re boycotting Spotify or whatever)

Dvorak Symphony No 9, Largo

God I am getting crazy goosebumps just listening to this again. I love the 9th symphony so much.

Oh wow that is amazing. Thank you!

I forgot how much I love this kind of choral music.

The whole Colorado River water thing is a fucking complicated mess that I can’t begin to understand. All kinds of weird water rights laws between farmers, ranchers and whoever, not to mention the all the use in Arizona, and fuck knows what else. Every time I read an article about disputes and such my brain melts.

Let’s talk about cotton farming in Arizona, too.

I get where you’re coming from but is he managing his risk or not?

Does he understand the risk? If yes, good. No? Bad.

Is he ignoring the risk? If yes, bad. No? Good.

Is he weighing the risks against the benefits he receives of using these apps and taking appropriate steps to mitigate those risks? If yes, then good. No? Bad.

Cyber security isn’t “lock everything down at all costs”. Otherwise I would insist you throw your phone in an incinerator along with all your computers, live in a bunker reinforced against nuclear attack with a small army to guard you, never leave it, never talk to anyone… Etc.

It is enabling one to achieve their goals with a tolerable amount of risk. That level of tolerable risk is different for everyone.

Best I have ever had was this, but on cibatta with a spicy Cajun mayo type spread. From a local deli chain in Denver.

Indeed. The message: you’re helpless. Just sit around and wait to be rescued. Any minute now…

Hopefully my sarcasm was obvious.

I swear people are just gladly diving headfirst into total despair. Any hint of good news? Shit all over it with a one liner as the guy above, trying to point out the hypocrisy as if the vacationer should just not fly back from the trip lol. Like jfc, would it kill you take the small W??

People who see the effects of climate change (on the reef or whatever) with their own eyes are going to be a lot more likely to take climate change seriously and maybe take some real action – there’s a massive list of things we could be trying rather than being a doomer on social media. It’s not that hard to find activist groups, write govt representatives, etc. And fuck this idea that millions of people doing something won’t make a change lol. More learned helplessness.

Not that we aren’t fucked… but how fucked we will be depends on what we do. Dooming on social media is guaranteed to not get it done.

All it does is drains you of any motivation (or will to live) you might have had to do something, even if small.

I’m just fucking sick of the constant despair-aganda and kind of want to tell people spreading it to shove it up their asses.

Perhaps that’s also why superhero movies were so popular for a time recently.

Fucking asshole should’ve swam back.
