@briankrebs im actively pitching a talk called 'claude is your insider threat now'
@da_667 Really? Finally?

My favorite IT help desk people

- documents steps for others
- remembers that a rare situation has happened before and it's able to look up what was done last time if it's the same thing

SF awards eligibility 2026:

My novel "A Conventional Boy" is eligible for the Hugo and other awards for the year 2025.

"The Laundry Files" is NOT eligible for the best series Hugo award at present (even after "The Regicide Report" it falls about 65K words short of accumulating enough new material—maybe it will at some future time, but efinitely not before 2028).

@da_667 have you read the Laundry Files series by @cstross? If not I would highly recommend taking a look at it, I’ve read about half the series and love it and think the content and humor would be up your wheelhouse.
@da_667 Oh I don't miss that at all `|28 29 3b 22|` not `|28 29 3a 22|` and it is even worse that I can remember that off the top of my head

Seven Billion Reasons for Facebook to Abandon its Face Recognition Plans

Meta’s analysis that it can avoid scrutiny by releasing a privacy invasive product during a time of political crisis is craven and morally bankrupt. It is also dead wrong.
