Waving around credentials on the internet often gives me pause -- not because I don't like to see it, but because professionals that I know who actually have weighted credentials would never do it, unless they were acting on behalf of their employer.
You don't see that s*** on social networking sites in my line of work. 🤷♂️
This is why the ever-encapsulating "hacker" threat literally has no bearing on my outlook. That real threat I won't see coming, and neither would you.

A fast-paced startup simulation game where you play the founder of a tech startup.

I've got 7 devices in my office that can connect to cellular towers, 1 with a smashed screen and 1 with a partially dead touch screen.
I'm super excited for the sheer amount of noise that will be generated when I am in a weekly standup meeting when FEMA pushes the button at 2:20 est 🤣🤣🤣🤣
@zim2918 it is, I love when it gets hilariously confused getting up onto it's docking station
President #biden is rumored to be coming to Auburn on Friday, we have air force one and marine one, what's the Navy's boat called when transporting the president, cause at this rate he might need it 😂😂😂
@hapkidogal confused what that has to do with the Adderall shortage but okay 😂😂😂
My Roomba for whatever reason cleans really really well, but so keeps a wad of dog hair underneath it, that it "pukes up" anytime the terrain changes. It came into my office and it was making a weird sound so I flipped it over, low and behold massive wad of dog hair. The damn thing then told me to empty the bin. You drive to your station and empty the bin.
I sent a rant video to a few of my friends and one of them said "it's like an additional pet"
I now have a forth pet Olaf the Roomba

James Cameron Doubts AI Can Write Good Scripts, Says the ‘Weaponization of AI Is the Biggest Danger’: ‘I Warned You in 1984 and You Didn’t Listen’
“You got to follow the money,” he said. “Who’s building these things? They’re either building it to dominate marketing shares, so you’re teaching it greed, or you’re building it for defensive purposes, so you’re teaching it paranoia. I think the weaponization of AI is the biggest danger.”

#Mastodon is a slow-motion trainwreck in progress, and one that long-time CoSo users have been watching for several years.
My loathing for them has nothing to do with social media loyalty either. Their entire structure is straight up unsafe for their users.
Like a castle built on quicksand.
@KazzyH you'll enjoy this. 11:35 yesterday morning, in the bathroom getting ready for the quarterly meeting where I work has, all of a sudden the power went bye bye.
The numbskulls were doing line work up the road from me, building out 3 phase power for a solar farm.
And they either killed it to attach the new wires or they hit something and blew breakers.
2 hours later at 1:35 it came back....
They tried blaming it on a tree hitting the lines 😂😂😂
@The_John_R sheesh wonder what trump would think of my dad's extendable ladder that reaches up 50 feet then... Right handy for getting up on the roof

Word has reached us through a leaked and supposedly confidential memo that the Ron DeSantis campaign is officially a “train wreck.” Despite his desperate efforts to out-TrumpTrump and fan the flames of his imaginary war on whatever Wokeism might be, poor little Mickey Mouse-o-lini just can’t gain any traction. Sorry, Mickey… you’re going to wind up as yet another footnote in electoral history, not even interesting enough to be the subject of a political science thesis. #Politics #Florida
JFC yes I work from home, NO I CANNOT DROP EVERYTHING AND
1) pick your ass up from work since you refuse to maintain your vehicles
2) drive your unlicensed son to work 30 minutes away from my house. After traveling 30 minutes to your house. For a round trip time of just under 2 fucking hours. I'm glad he enjoys his 8am shifts now. I'm not starting my work day an hour later to get him to his 8am shift.
3) no I can't run you stuff willynilly that you forgot and need for work.
Sincerely fuck off.
@LyssTuck *groan*
@KazzyH that's not at all troublesome, did they replace your meter at all? My other friend that suggested I call them out, had them out and they found her meter was either 86 or 96 percent accurate ( can't remember what percentage she said)
Also are the averaging your billing? Based off previous months use and the actual amount used when they come out to read it?
Also it seems odd that they can't remotely read the meter, they sure have enough equipment in my town to read all 2.6k of us -_-

I don't think they even make instruments big enough to measure the massive dickery of Melon Husk and Fuckerberg. #RandomThoughts

Seeing lots of talk about Threads, and the hard truth is, CoSo will never be threads, and never compete with threads.
And thank the Gods for it.
We got our own thing here. Something unique, that Threads will never have.
Sure Threads has its own strengths and weaknesses, but it will never have the soul that this place has, or the organic connections that exist here.
We don't need to compete, we don't need to be better, we just need to be ourselves. ^_^

Larry Nassar stabbed? That's awful ! (just kidding he deserved it)
@Coctaanatis @MrEntity
I still haven't had time to research the protocol but my two immediate thoughts are:
1) meta would use and abuse the DM functionality to send ads
2) meta would hijack threaders accounts you follow off threads and insert textual based ads onto your various timelines using those accounts. (I'm thinking along the lines of heavy protocol / data manipulation with this one, but again I'm not sure how possible that is without having done my due diligence)
