@808_38hz @FaytuksNetwork Maybe he sits on hands while Iran charges tolls for passage?

@FaytuksNetwork Or what, he will shit his pants and remove troops from their countries which he can’t really do?

BREAKING: President Trump has set a deadline for European allies to provide concrete military support in the Strait of Hormuz, including the deployment of warships, Der Spiegel reports. NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte informed European countries that political pledges made since the start of the conflict are no longer sufficient.

@SarkastikB @eggoslug well that's a panty dropper. . .

@eggoslug Horth America, Hezbollah, and Havana

Use your free will properly. Someone asked for my number once and I asked him to name three countries starting with the letter H and he couldn’t so I walked away

@PeterRHann1 @runaway_vol If true then you'd know how to spell Berkeley

@runaway_vol Hard pass. I only date Berkley chicks.

@ccmembersonly Bad news bears.

STAR TREK: The great tragedy of Discovery is knowing that this single character could've carried the entire show through several seasons at least. If he were an "evil" Picard but extraordinarily sly about it, where the audience knew he was a malevolent actor but the crew being wholly unawares. And that going on for years as we watch his schemes unfold and see that he's both ruthlessly competent but fiercely devoted to humanity. A kind of In the Pale Moonlight as a series long arc. It'd be difficult to pull off and it's clear none of the Discovery writers had the chops... but I'm telling you a seed was there.

@GeluTimoficiuc @stemexplor Tbf, this is about as "quantum" as it gets, anyway

@stemexplor There may be worse explanations of quantum computing, but I don't know them yet

@alt_w_v_g 100% of this is done by AI now.

Spent the day shadowing a junior analyst He logged in at 7:52am Two monitors glowing Already on his third iced coffee At 9, he was told to "make the slides prettier" No other direction He opened PowerPoint, changed the font from Arial to Calibri, and waited for feedback By 11, he was fixing footnotes Every number tied to an Excel tab labeled "DO NOT TOUCH" Lunch was a protein bar at his desk while updating logos on a market map Aligning them horizontally and vertically At 3pm, he got a Teams message: "Quick ask" It was a 70-slide model refresh due by EOD By 7, he was still there The office lights turned off automatically He didn't move At 10, his manager stopped by "Good hustle" No eye contact At midnight, he locked his screen, walked outside, and realized he hadn't spoken to another human all day He stared at his reflection in the glass doors For a moment, he wasn't sure if he was leaving the office Or if the office was leaving him

@barrylongii True. Because I can wait until evening to cut the grass and no one is going to slip and break a hip.

True or False: You’d rather cut grass in 100° than shovel snow in 8°.

@CyberRacheal "accidentally"?

In early 2024, Microsoft engineer Andres Freundaccidentally thwarted one of the most sophisticated cyberattacks in history. While testing an unstable version of Debian, he noticed a tiny 500ms delay in his SSH logins, a blip most people would ignore. Curiosity led him to find a massive backdoor hidden in XZ Utils, a standard data compression tool used by almost every Linux server on the planet. The deal here was : The backdoor targeted the SSH protocol, which is the primary way admins securely log into remote servers. If Freund hadn't spotted it, attackers would have gained a "master key" to bypass authentication and execute code with root privileges on billions of devices. The culprit (under the name "Jia Tan") spent two years building trust in the open-source community, slowly gaining enough "cred" to become a project maintainer and plant the malicious code. How It Was Resolved Once Freund confirmed the malicious code, he emailed the Debian security team and went public on the Openwall mailing liston March 29, 2024. Major Linux vendors like Red Hat, Fedora, and Debian immediately reverted to older, safe versions of the software. GitHub quickly suspended the compromised accounts and disabled the affected repository to stop the spread. A clean version (XZ Utils 5.6.2) was released in May 2024, effectively closing the vulnerability tracked as CVE-2024-3094. Essentially, the internet was saved from a "digital apocalypse" because one guy was annoyed that his computer felt half a second too slow.

@lady_valor_07 Invest retirement funds only in equities - nothing else will hedge inflation risk.

I’m 25. Give me oddly specific life tips. No general ”surround yourself with positive people” tips. I want the most random, specific advice possible.

@VerizonSupport @ZachKline7 Are you seriously offering to "support" a client upset by involuntary spam notifications you've beamed into their home screen?

@ZachKline7 We know ads can be overwhelming. Send us a Direct Message, so we can fully support you.-Cryssie

Nothing has ever made me want to switch providers more than @Verizon feeding me animated ads directly into my notifications Holy shit

@ehn Passwords should be abolished.

Why do some developers (especially at banks and similar) turn off paste in password fields? What are they trying to achieve? If anything, it will make people choose worse passwords because they can't be bothered to manually type good ones.

@puppiesDoglover In poker this is what's known as a "tell"

@UpdatingOnRome Livia did it

I apologize to Imperator Nero Claudius Caesar Augustus Germanicus and to the Augusta Agrippina Minor for my false statements accusing the Emperor of contriving to murder the Augusta Agrippina by means of a treacherous boating accident, falsely accusing the Imperator of criminal responsibility for attempting to kill his own mother, asserting that the Imperator Nero fled the scene of the failed attempt or evaded accountability for the plot, and falsely claiming that he placed the blame for the collapsing vessel upon the Augusta herself. Each of these statements was untrue, unsupported by facts, and I therefore retract them in full.

@Rothmus It took me 40 years to realize Incontinentia Buttocks is a joke about anal sex.

No pic/no proof, but I did see a Waymo operating in Chicago last night - SB Kennedy near North Ave exit. Couldn't tell if it had a safety driver or passenger.
