@MichaelTalon Are we talking W or Drumpf? Can't tell from just this toot.

🤣

@th3j35t3r X Premium Basic, X Premium Premium, or X Premium Premium+?

Truly, this man has no imagination.

Also, his LLM is called "grok"? Heinlein is probably spinning in his grave...

LOLOLOL!

I've had a tab open for an item for about a month now that I just haven't gotten around to ordering.

A month ago, it was "regular price $169.99, sale price $119.99"

The week of Thanksgiving, it was "pre-Black Friday sale! $119.99"

On Black Friday "Black Friday sale! $119.99."

Monday it was "Cyber Monday sale! $119.99"

Today? "regular price $169.99, sale price $119.99."

FFS...

Do I happen to know anyone near Cleveland (Ohio) willing to pick up an online purchase and mail it to me? It's an eBay auction for local pickup only. It would require good packing to ensure it arrives okay, so I'm of course willing to compensate for your time in addition to packing+shipping cost.

@opie But first you'll need to find your Illudium Q-36 Space Modulator.

@AskNick I've never heard of anyone (seriously) "shaming" about bubble color; but there are complaints about cross-platform. "Why does this video look like crap?" - "Because Jim in the group chat has an Android."

In honor of six years, my first Toot. Thankfully, it has held true.

@MrGoat Oh, we get trolls.

They last about 30 seconds at most.

I'm seeing reports that Israel is going to put Gaza "under complete siege" - WTF? Gaza has BEEN under "complete siege" since 1967!

Petition to badge everything that currently says "45" in relation to DJT to instead say "P01135809"

Dammit, I’ve been a bad CoSoer. Sorry, most of my former BirdSite connections have moved to Mastodon, so I’ve been far more active there.

But now I’m at #HackerSummerCamp, and really should be posting here!

Anyone up for a #CoSoDEFCON #DEFCON #DEFCON31 meet up?

@evistre Woo! Double promotion inbound!

But for serious, sending good vibes, hoping your work isn’t getting significantly more difficult because of this.

@damselfly59 Barbieheimer.

@KodoAndSangha Why did you only watch half the movie?

Just got back from our 5 hour Barbieheimer screening. I must say, the most unexpected part of the movie was the out of nowhere exhibitionist explicit sex scene...

Yeah, sorry, former coworker. I'm looking for jobs too, I'm not going to send any leads your way.

You wore a MAGA hat to a company event. In a famously-liberal city, with company founders who promoted very-liberal things.

(Former cow-orker was a sales engineer for the federal space. For some reason, he didn't stick around very long after Jan 20, 2021.)

Looks like I'll be looking for work soon. If anyone has any leads on Pacific Northwest or full-remote InfoSec "experienced customer facing technical person" (Technical Account Manager, Sales Engineer, etc.) I'd appreciate some leads.

@evistre Later my best friend and I getting a "Unix shell access dial-up account with internet access" at a small local company, and convincing the owner/operator to install a SLIP daemon so we could try out "dial up internet". (Trumpet Winsock for me, native Linux 0.9 TCP/IP for my friend.)

I'm pretty sure we were the first people in Portland to get a "home internet connection" that wasn't provided by an employer.

@evistre Usenet on my high school's "mini-supercomputer" that had been donated by the manufacturer. First internet experience was posting on comp.unix.<something> asking for help with some technical issue or another.

Alright, just content-wiped my Reddit account then deleted it.

As I did with Twitter last year.

And Facebook (99%) in 2019. (My FB account is technically still active with a message saying so so no family members can have someone impersonate me.)
