I may be the most certified person you’ve ever met. Years of IT experience in network management and security. Recently retired from the military. Interested in using creative channels, like games, to teach cyber risk to risk owners.

Cat picture booster. Multi-craftual. Unashamed public knitter.

in more hopeful moments I like to think that reckless use of LLMs in professional settings will become the equivalent of hanging a sign around one’s neck reading «NO SKILLS, NO INTEGRITY»
I have had enough of your nonsense.
USians! Get free COVID tests from the feds before it's too late!

Here are the instructions I followed. It took almost a month to get them here but it was pretty easy.

You could order THOUSANDS for free if you have the space. You can get a pallet of them if you want. But minimum order is 300.

This is a
different program than getting them from USPS.

Soliciting Internet Opinions: what presenter clickers do you like best that work well with Apple but also have some capacity for universal use? I am tired of the Logitech malware crap that they force on me.

Holy COW: thanks to @ducksauz I have discovered that my Flipper Zero works PERFECTLY as a clicker out of the box as a simple bluetooth connection (ANSI keyboard) to my MBP!

The republicans have put language in this most recent budget bill that deliberately targets trans people.

To be explicit:

Preventing trans people from getting care is as lethal as preventing diabetics from getting care.

It is -your- responsibility to call your senators - both of them - to demand that this bill not pass.

It is your responsibility to do this because you, as the majority, have the actual power in this relationship; trans people depend on your ethical and moral choices in order to stay alive, because we are in a very small minority and cannot meaningfully influence this process.

If you fail in this responsibility, people will die, and it will be, collectively, your fault.

I am watching your actions, as are other members of the community.

If you don't like this, then imagine how much I dislike your cis compatriots supporting legislation that is specifically targeted to kill me and the people I care about.

Fucking fix your shit.

Please tell me why you hate AI.

Cosmic brownie points if it's not because of the environment, data privacy, or copyright. Those are all super valid reasons, but I've heard them before.

I'm looking for haters, please step up to the plate.

Get vicious, show me the hate.

All hands meeting.
Talking about our hiring product. Numbers go up. Incidental mention that "$client is sort of a power user, so they're a lot of that".
$client in this case very famously laid off most of their human staff a few months ago to pivot to AI. They are now fixing it by hiring 700 humans back and hoping to save their company.
