The US bombs a fishing vessel for suspected drug activities, a man survives, both the US and Ecuador release him because there's "no evidence he committed any crime". Yet somehow his non-crime was so severe he had to be bombed by US military. So insane. #military www.cbsnews.com/news/ecuador...

Another reminder that YouTube isn't a good option for digital preservation. Make sure you download videos you wish to save, and support international archival efforts. #DataHoarding #DataRescue archive.ph/NpiLq

No..

Are you sure you don't want to download Google Chrome???

No..

Are you sure you don't want to login to your Google account???

Sigh..

Big tech company executives literally laughing at paying people pennies to train their AI models. It's good to remind ourselves the chatbots we use are built on the back of humans. #tech youtu.be/lbzenV7aGOw?...

Big corporations get their power from us. If even 20% of the population stopped buying from them, we would see them make a u-turn on those decisions in record time. But most people are lazy, so nothing happens. I haven't bought anything on Amazon in 5+ years btw.
Bezos removed books from Amazon on Ghislane Maxwell's trial and Kevin Spacey's trial.

Inner City Press is a nonprofit in NYC.

They do fantastic work.

Fuck Bezos.

I'm not sure why "Previous Versions" isn't a default option on Linux file managers, so I implemented my own in about 2 hours. I wrote a blog post for those who may want this functionality as well. #linux #sysadmin dendory.net/posts/previo...

Official US Gov websites have already become a propaganda machine for MAGA. Those of us who were worried about preserving data from before the current administration took over are proven right. Pretty sad days. #politics #datarescue
I don't understand how so many tech executives are so tone deft. AI is a great, useful tool. But -nobody- wants to have stuff pushed down their throat. Allow people the choice to download and use features if they want them instead. #tech #sysadmin blogs.windows.com/windowsexper...

Playing with ComfyUI a bit. Happy spooky #cybersecurity Halloween.
Data breaches are bad and organizations should be held accountable for bad security practices, but this case is pretty ridiculous. I wonder why Health Minister Josie Osborne hasn't been voted out and investigated for hiding the breach for years. #cybersecurity #canadasky youtu.be/oh_XtPby5Dc?...

Are you using AI to help you code? Please take an extra few minutes to ask this of your IDE before you press the Publish button:

"Please scan my code to see if you can find any obvious security flaw."

This works surprisingly well. #cybersecurity #dev

If you have older systems still running Windows 10 that are tied to your Microsoft account, make sure you enroll in the free ESU. Well... if you don't run into an error like I did. x.x #sysadmin #Microsoft #windows
