I think I did that one, only briefly though

@sfleetucker @th3j35t3r I'd like to speak to the manager

I...can't unread that

Dang the Super Bowl _was_ pretty woke: " 621,000 solar panels channeled the electricity needed to power the Allegiant Stadium, home of both Super Bowl VXIII...recycle all the rubber pellets from the turf, run food scrap collection from the on-site restaurants and divert them from the waste stream to feed livestock, and compost all the grass clippings from the field."

@mcfate Same. But corporations and local government bean counters do like service bundles.

@mcfate Yeah, I agree; about the most ISPs have to do is retain some logs for LE.
If USI can't manage their ansible playbooks -- might have been the problem -- how's Comcast doing? How do we _know_?

@mcfate It's bad enough. 6500+ businesses and: "Securence counts among its customers dozens of state and local governments, including: nc.gov — the official website of North Carolina; stillwatermn.gov, the website for the city of Stillwater, Minn.; and cityoffrederickmd.gov, the website for the government of Frederick, Md."

Krebs notes the list changes/d on reloads, so they can't get an accurate tally. I think the main point is the existing regulation and oversight (if any?) needs an overhaul.

the (inexplicable) screenshot accompanying the story shows no sign of SSL. The incompetence is many levels deep.

We have to turn off the internet until we can figure this out. Seriously. No. Seriously.

If I can defraud the city/state for a few hundred million and not go to prison I need to reconsider my options. Just as an intellectual exercise.

I could ask a lot of questions about this here pile of burning garbage but it's all downwind of me so I just wonder, is "Latinum" trademarked by whoever owns Star Trek IP?

@Dane a slave TO RHYTHM

actually no probably not.

@sjvn Mozilla will focus on bringing “trustworthy AI into Firefox.”

Hubs?! What was that? And WHY was that.

@nursefrombirth He didn't pay attention to HB 2, bring out the clue by fours.

"Despite Republican assurances that North Carolina’s “bathroom bill” isn’t hurting the economy, the law limiting LGBT protections will cost the state more than $3.76 billion in lost business over a dozen years, according to an Associated Press analysis."
