“Why is there so little dialog in your novel?”

“Well, I think it looks better in the terminal if I limit each character to 80 lines.”

@kechpaja @SwiftOnSecurity Mathematical storytelling could keep the 80 characters on one line, and skip rest of the lines. Shortest book in the world?
@autiomaa @kechpaja @SwiftOnSecurity code golf in literary form, everybody monologues at every opportunity
@SwiftOnSecurity uh the only people we can make fun of any more are old white men , can we make them the exception for levities sake?

@SwiftOnSecurity

sometimes one of them _is_ a man and can’t be persuaded nor cajoled to talk of anything else than himself. * sigh * #recursive #curses

@SwiftOnSecurity this password policy is going to hook up to a password reset button to a 20 year old email address and/or a secret question answer which are all derived from your childhood pet name which is contained in most of your account passwords
@SwiftOnSecurity they’re working out the details on the corporate raid they’re launching at 7 AM, while doing each others nails.

The Bechdel Password Strength Test, of course!

GENIUS!!

@SwiftOnSecurity so instead of a passphrase I should use a passplay?
@SwiftOnSecurity The rise of the Bechdelbot.
@SwiftOnSecurity Maybe Alice should try just talking to Eve instead of wasting her time with Bob
@harrisj @SwiftOnSecurity Alice runs off with Eve, leaving Bob with nobody to hack, living happily ever after. End of play.
@SwiftOnSecurity All my passwords are gay tho and only talk about men.

Broke: a password that requires trillions of years of compute power to crack.

Woke: a password that cracks the glass ceiling.

@SwiftOnSecurity Sandor Clegane and Brienne of Tarth quarrelling about who gets custody of Arya Stark.
This is a splendid idea for remembering new passwords!
@SwiftOnSecurity Set your locale to en_SCO (after Scotland gains independence) and your password must contain at least two characters who you need subtitles to understand—and also a wee ginger dug.
@cstross @SwiftOnSecurity Or the process will baselessly go and sue the rest of the linux distribution.
@Kyreeth @SwiftOnSecurity Not funny, dude. (I used to work for Original SCO, before the shysters from Utah bought the name and started firing off lawsuits instead of software releases.)
@cstross Ah, sorry. I was responsible for a few installs of it in far flung corners of the planet many years ago. No complaints about the software itself.
@cstross @SwiftOnSecurity set your locale to en_LON (Guy Ritchie sublocale) and all characters in your password must be male and basically identical
@SwiftOnSecurity Gave me a good laugh, thank you XD

Bechdel Test Movie List

@SwiftOnSecurity My favourite was the time a few years back one of the European Space Agency web portals required me to choose one of their backup security questions. These were all (without exception) a choice between variable answers ("When did you last water your plants?") and yes/no answers. With a minimum field length of three characters.
