  • US immigration service wants social media handles of visa applicants

    Jump

  • It's pretty much dead to me. I know it was always ass but at some point the OC/spam ratio gets too bad to bother. Lost memes were a good time. Now I'd have to sift through 80 incels calling eachother tranny to find a single post with a shred of an original thought behind it. Eh, maybe it's the same and I just got too old for it. Doesn't matter in the end.

  • By the looks of it he has the three stooges syndrome. Indestructible.

  • It was also raw as fuck. That allowed for some very honest interactions but also introduced a shitload of trash to filter through. Then the whole political influx came in a decade ago and fully ruined it. lemmy seems like a good middle way. no senseless karma farming but also some tools to moderate.

  • 'We Were Told Nothing.' FDA Canceled Meeting to Discuss the Next Flu Shot

    Jump

  • Part of them don't care. A bigger part simply don't understand. People are being blasted with misinformation and they don't have the tools to filter through it. The bottom 30% in cognitive competence are on the brink of mental disability. That's 100 million voters.

    You can be mad at them but it'd be like being mad at a kid with down syndrome that ends up being a conservative because they like monstertrucks and wrestling and the ads between their shows tell them to be.

    Fuck those who create and spread wrongful information. They're the cancer of the current age.

  • Germany’s four-day work week proves to be a massive hit

    Jump

  • It's a bit misleading to phrase it as they did. Germany didn't trial this. A few companies in Germany did. How many? Well fuck me if I know because the author does their best to keep any absolute numbers out of the article. I'm all for reducing work time since our productivity has easily risen enough to allow for that (once we eat the rich) but don't try to sugarcoat it.

    Cyber-Security Experts Warn Election Was Hacked

  • Only chance was to catch something like this right as it was happening with a real time screening mechanism for anomalies like that. Now/later it'd be civil war inducing.

  • is that a meme or did you accidentally butcher the term "ponzi scheme" which is something entirely different? not saying insurances aren't often a scam. just a different kind.

  • Elon Musk Has a New Excuse for Not Making It to Mars

  • Musk pretending he cares about rail while in reality his worst recurring night mare is him being in public transport with poor people. Classic.

  • i am still falling into the realisation misconception* that i can’t be a kid forever.

    You definitely can. I have met plenty of people who preserved this part of themselves. It's too often outside pressure that makes people abandon it. A few weeks ago my mother berated me for owning a game console as a grown man but it didn't phase me because the little history I lived through has taught me some lessons. When my father was my age he was working overtime to provide as much as possible for his family. He'd come home tired and stressed and self medicated with booze to somehow keep going. I'd often get a speech about how much he sacrificied for me but here's the thing, I never asked for it. Did I like living in the big house after we moved from our small rented apartment? Sure, about as much as living in a big apartment complex with a bunch of other kids to play with. What I didn't like was having a dad who was constantly burned out and angry so I made sure not to live as he did. Recently I took my wife and our dog fossil hunting. We were digging through rocks and mud having a blast and around us were a bunch of kids. Meanwhile their parents were standing in the back complaining there aren't enough benches to sit on while the kids have fun. I will never get this old. Not in a hundred years. As long as I can hold my hammer I will be right next to those kids digging for paleontological treasure instead of standing in the back with the bitter "grown ups".

    CrowdStrike offers a $10 apology gift card to say sorry for outage | TechCrunch

    Jump

  • When I was an intern in IT in the olden days a manager once decided to send an apology gift to every single employee for his botched project. It was a switch from analog phones to VoIP with Skype that really wasn't so complicated but left a bunch of people without working phones for days. The gift? A snickers bar in a big paper bag with a sticker on it. I had to put three hundred stickers on those bags and then hand them to people who were very confused to find a tiny snickers in them. Now they told me to hand it out with a smile and tell them we're really sorry but I'd hand them out with my best I'd-really-rather-be-somewhere-else-face and say "trust me, nobody finds this more stupid than me."

  • JD Vance once wrote that he 'convinced myself that I was gay' when he was a kid

  • Home routing and encryption technologies are making lawful interception harder, Europol warns

    Jump

  • Privacy Enhancing Technologies. A blanket term for anything protecting your identity (Onion, VPN, etc.) I feel like the people asking for this either have a very limited technical understanding of it or completely different motives. You can't ban encryption. What they could do is ban VPN services from officially operating or certain protocols but that would mostly hit your regular user.

  • 70% of Cybersecurity Pros Often Work Weekends

    Jump

  • High availability and security are the bane of IT infrastructure jobs. It makes me anxious to think about my MSP days when I'd sit on my couch on a Saturday fully aware that I'm one phone call away from having my day, weekend or even the next two weeks ruined because some customer CEO has full domain admin rights and would give them to anyone who'd ask on the phone or via email.
