When Earth is no longer habitable by human beings, and we're all extinct, I will be a ghost that cheers. We finally got you, #NorthernPositronics. It cost us everything, but in a way, it was worth it. God damn Microsoft. #infotech (4/4)
Digital security will eventually reach a point where we will need exploding passwords. Every service, every account protected by a password will need a secondary exploding password. Once the username and password are entered, the system will recognize the explosion one, and promptly dump all the data, and overwrite it with zeroes. So, if you are tortured for your password, you can give the exploding one. #infotech #infosec
We did it. Internet achieved. Perfect exchange; we can all go home.
Øyh, folks!!
I just realized that in six months the development of Windows 10 will finally be completed, and we will never have to update it ever again!!!

Every argument against #trans people is utterly destroyed by this one small very inexpensive piece of IT equipment. Don't give me any lip about gender or any of that shit, you can just fucking step off you hot pile of shit. Witness the HD15 VGA F/F Mini Gender Changer! YOUR ARGUMENTS ARE INVALID! MUHAHAHAHAH! :) #infotech
Question for those in #IT do you code at all?

Don't worry, your admin and your virtualization platform aren't splitting up; it's normal to have these kinds of arguments.
As with people, the most important thing is ultimately being right.
Sokay, Moxy and I just fight it out until we compromise, which means I get what I want.
Oh Adobe, you take so much, and then you take more.
Finished one last small project this evening. Perhaps my last until at least spring break.
It is a small page that demonstrates some of the #math behind public-private key pairs. Intended for #HighSchool (-ish) #students interested in (or forced to learn about) #InfoTech #security.
Needs some updates, and probably some clarifications. Feedback / Corrections much appreciated.

Reading the scree on the iOS 18.2 update screen. Apple Intelligence. I see this iPhone and iPad will get significantly worse, more annoying and irritating. Now all these companies that used to even *try* for innovation are just hitting the Xerox juice on each other. Hey! We hyped this horseshit to the max, nobody wants it, but every other manufacturer is pumping this crap, lets catch up! PUMP THAT CRAP. LOL. Waste of time. But here we are. #infotech #HypeBullshit
Wonderful people of the fediverse, I am looking for more interesting content to use as background company while I work, I am in search of recommendation of youtube and peertube channels on the following topics:
#history
#education
#cybersecurity
#privacy
#Infotech
#walkablecities
#socialengineering
#engineering
TIA!
Live stateside and need help?
You CAN’T apply to Give Directly itself.
https://www.givedirectly.org/united-states
But you can FIND A LIST of programs that Give Directly does fund.
Then you can find one near you!
If you’re really desperate,
1. https://www.ecosia.org/search?method=index&q=money+help search for e.g. “money help” then add your city and state,
2 Use the mutual aid tags on here — they’re at the bottom. Check the weird text. Click the “…and 22 more” text to unhide / show all the hashtags. —
And / or
3. Ask me (a stranger online whomst’ve could steal your info and give it to that person you hate so they can sign you up for yoga classes and MLM schemes).
I’ll do a quick search for you.
Mastodon DMs are NOT secure. https://signal.org is better.
Do NOT give me or other randomers your postal address or current residence.
Biggest city near you is fine for finding local help and avoid doxxing yourself — as much. But if you are doxxed: https://www.sproutdistro.com/catalog/zines/security/doxcare/
Anyway, this isn’t a lecture on OpSec.
I am kinda on the Karmic side of #infotech
If you were lazy ok with corps eating all your data because #privacy was not your concern.
Or worse, were one of those Muppets who espoused "I have nothing to hide, so I have nothing to fear" and accepted ubiquitous #surveillance from your Government without any action on your part...
...you absolutely have no leg to stand on and get all squeally about #ai #generative #llm eating all your precious doodles and unpublishable writings you blogged.
You allowed this to happen by your inaction.
Just because you were unequipped to see the consequences, you were happy to abandon us, who tried to hold the thin red line against the #dataabuse.
I looked over my shoulder, and there was no one behind us.
These things do not happen overnight and if we had strong regulatory regime, we would not be here now.
Instead the public stampeded into the cloud and big data like farm animals to slaughter.
Jfc I got a lot of mileage out of one goddamn screenshot but hey!
My b/Blind and vision-impaired or sight-loss fellows shall feast tonight!
… If any of you care about niche multi-layered terminology for humorous agenerational interconnective co-created commentary on base genuine media, surprises, commentary, and intersections of such!
You goddamn linguistic nerds!!
Ooh, I feel like https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YrHGbCyAqOU is structurally related.
OMG. THAT’S HOW ADHD BRAINS CONNECT IDEAS.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cQKGUgOfD8U
AuHD or AudHD (urgh, I hate that initialism) people connect ideas by their structural relevance (and personal ascription of importance).
And, apparently, Neurotypical, neuro default, or neuro expected people connect ideas by narrative relevance! And, frankly, also how much importance they ascribe to the narrative, topic, or relevance.
Omg I’m an edu blogger?! This is like finding out that non-binary gender was an option! Holy shit.

What’s actually infuriating is that Accounts says the boilerplate is there even if they don’t mean it and to contact Support to verify their claim that it never changed, and Support says that, yes, it never did change but that I should take this up with Accounts.
Congrats, Salesforce, you’re definitely at-or-past the bloated carcass stage where everything is enshittification all the way down now.

It also brings me a similarly weird joy to know that Slack, a company bought and owned by Salesforce, is somehow unable to remove a boilerplate clause in their template which states that the signing company is opting into AI data model training in their workspace.
As if somehow Salesforce is unable to figure out how to get Salesforce to exclude inapplicable boilerplate, and needs to send additional notices that negate the specific clauses in the contract.
