@d_whiteplume I’m an advisor to a small college station. We go full automation when the students are out, but make up for it by mixing in an eclectic selection of Christmas music we’ve curated. Like Bad Religion’s “Hark the Herald Angels Sing” or Barenaked Ladies’ “Deck the Stills”.

@Annothername @th3j35t3r Exactly. I work in Higher Ed IT, and enduser literacy now is entirely different. It’s about how to use the tools, not how they work.

@Annothername @th3j35t3r Same here. We had TRS-80’s at my high school in the ‘80’s. Top of the line!

A Republic If You Can Tweet It!

Today's twitter shenanigans expanded and turned into an essay on Stonekettle Station (note, moving your content to other platform seems ... prudent at this point)

First they came for the dick pics and I said nothing...

I imagine when it comes to investigating dick pictures, the list of Republican "expert witnesses" is going to be pretty extensive.

They'll have to set aside at least 3 days for Lauren Boebert's testimony alone

Republicans: WE ARE CONSTITUTIONAL CONSERVATIVES!

Trump this morning: THROW OUT THE CONSTITUTION AND CROWN ME KING BECAUSE TWITTER!

Republicans:

Republicans:

Republicans: Yeah, okay, that sounds good.

So, after watching Zerforschung's video on the vulnerabilities, I'm pretty sure I know how the exploit was done. I'm going to speak somewhat generically here, as opposed to talking about Hive specifically, because I want to cover the topic in a way that might help some devs and architects out there understand the broader problem.

With that in mind, let's talk about why trusting frontends for security is a Really Bad Idea! Welcome to Another Lena and 🧵:) 1/x

@DarksideStraxus And how long it takes for *that* one to have a serious breach. We’re probably going to see a whole bunch of clones quickly pop up. You get to pick two from fast, cheap, or good, and they’ll all be choosing fast and cheap.

@LAHolloway That’s odd. Does it work with USB? That’s what I use, and probably not helpful if you don’t currently have a headset. (and their support has been spotty in my experience)

@LAHolloway Have you done the audio test thing? That’s happened to me once or twice, and that has fixed it. Why, I don’t know. But just a suggestion to try.

@MindfulWilliam That’s the way I feel when Elon starts yapping about us paying him $8 to land on Twitter.

@DJNoneYa I think letting people like Andrew Anglin (editor of the Daily Stormer) back on is a bit more than a "Bat Signal"

@Museek Zoom Basic is free, but only 40 minutes/100 participants per meeting. There's not too much of a learning curve for hosts or participants. We were able to get older college faculty to use it, so you shouldn't have too much of an issue.

@th3j35t3r My counter is that I know more about who you are by your actions than some random CEO or Board of Directors. You've been around and active for a long time, and built a track record from even before you ventured into this. I was around to see your WBC and Taliban operations, so I know who I'm in with here.
