I've seen things you people wouldn't believe... PC Revolutions, C compilers clacking huge Floppy Disks , Lisp Machine Nirvana, Unix Wars, building an early ISP, Metro Wireless, #Startups that went down, Hardware Image Processing, Objective C training from Bad Cox, first C++ Conference, unreadable Perl, lots of Python, Ruby, #Clojure and now back to #Python. SysAdmin, Ops, #DevOps, #AWSCommunityBuilder, #Serverless Software System and Cloud Architectures. Not time to die!

@npub1aw2…8vv5 Ah, I didn’t know that. I always went to the System Preferences to do it.

@npub1aw2…8vv5 Is this actually new? How is this different than it’s been for a very long time? You had to enable and approve once an unsigned app in system preferences the first time you used it

Louisiana now mandates that a poster-size display of the Ten Commandments in "large, easily readable font," be required in all public classrooms. Here you go.

The World Health Organization is no stranger to issuing reports.
Their latest is an entirely different beast.
Nestled under the technical title "Commercial Determinants of Non-Communicable Diseases in the WHO European region” is a clear and frank report on how the profit-motive leads to 2.7 million preventable deaths a year, in Europe alone.

Today, officials from the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI) told lawmakers that Russian influence operations aimed at undermining support for Ukraine and faith in democratic institutions provide the top threat to the upcoming U.S. election. China is the second-greatest threat but is more cautious because it is concerned about U.S. blowback, while the third, Iran, acts primarily as a “chaos agent,” trying to confuse voters. (2/3)

The ODNI officials said they have been issuing warnings to political candidates, government officials, and others targeted by foreign groups.

“I don’t think most American citizens really viscerally understand how much of the content they see on social platforms is actually a foreign intelligence operation…. I just don’t think we viscerally get how much of what we see is bot-generated or foreign intelligence service–generated.” (1/3)

@npub1hyk…3p33 coined yet another great new word describing the dystopian era we are living in:
The Enshittocene
Google reneged on the monopolistic bargain
"A funny thing happened on the way to the enshittocene: Google – which astonished the world when it reinvented search, blowing Altavista and Yahoo out of the water with a search tool that seemed magic – suddenly turned into a pile of shit.”

“Thirty years ago, if I told you that a bunch of billionaires and intellectuals on the right are waiting in the wings to impose a dictatorship on the United States, you would have said that I was insane,” he said.
“But it’s no longer insane. It’s now real. There are those people out there,” Linker added. “The question is: will they get their chance.”
