whelp, someone crashed their car into a freight train about 20 minutes ago which has now shut down the ferry loading/unloading, in edmonds, wa. me and a few hundred other folks now stuck on either side of the boat.

oh great my two year old car has entered into a series of cascading electrical and sensor failures because every car is a fucking asus laptop with wheels now

please can we stop calling it the 'Epstein Ballroom' that is very disrespectful to the people who have donated to it - for their sake let us at least call it by its proper name, the "Microsoft, Amazon, Meta, Meta Platforms, Apple, Coinbase, Comcast, T-Mobile, Google, Blackstone, YouTube, Booz Allen Hamilton and Lockheed Martin present the Epstein Ballroom". Thank you.

“ok so i have this idea for a movie.” “i’m listening.” “ok, so the White House gets destroyed.” “love it - how?” “by the President himself. He just orders it and everyone goes along with it like its normal.” “eh, if you’re gonna destroy the White House in a movie you gotta make it something believable like extraterrestrials or some shit you know?”

i've gone from, "it would be cool to live in a country where healthcare was available to everyone," to "it would be cool to live in a country where the air traffic controllers get paid and the military doesn't send live fire across a major highway on the weekends".

What the actual friggedy frig is this - GitHub has done a very stupid thing, and the underlying cause of this will SHOCK YOU, SHOCK YOU I SAY. "A recent product change now allows users to stay connected to an enterprise once organization access is revoked. If a user is removed from all organizations in your enterprise, they will now remain in the enterprise as an “unaffiliated user” instead of being automatically removed." And then it goes on to say, that rather than relying on the industry standard SCIM mechanism for access management, you now have to concoct code that talks to some GraphQL endpoint. BUT WHAT IS THE RECENT PRODUCT CHANGE THAT DROVE SUCH BANANAS DECISION MAKING?!?! "Manage Copilot and users via Enterprise Teams" FUCKING COPILOT. I'm old enough to remember the trustworthy computing memo. Nowadays, Microsoft burns that memo to feed its AI god that no one asked for about 780 times a day. #infosec

“nurse can you pass the sharps container please” “certainly, here you go.” “this appears to be a box of black piano keys” “that’s what you asked for.”
