Pocket techie. He/him. I support freedoms of choice, bodily autonomy and relationship. Free speech is not an excuse to be a jerk. Sometimes parody, too. 80's kid - them's were the days!

Anyone have connections at Discord?

Apparently sending too many DM's in an unknown time period locks you out for a whole day.

I've submitted a ticket but really need a fix ASAP. It's connected to a few of my work tools as well.

^ this is the correct response.

I mean, it's a MOOSE.

They. Are. MASSIVE.

+100 points for use of columbo in perfect context.

Because that means the other thousands and thousands?

Well, the machine's busy.

Make it a pain in the ass.

Deweyoxberg @deweyoxberg.bsky.social · 1d

Remember: Billions into a machine.

And yet if we're still here? Still demanding change? Fighting for it?

The machine hasn't eaten you yet. Bravo! Keep that up.

Just don't get complacent. Make that machine grind every gear, slow it down, expend its resources *for just ONE*.

PS: No, that doesn't mean be scared into silence etc. It means you get smart, you get organized. You study history and asymmetry.

You learn to flow and adapt because it's not a sprint, it's a marathon.

A marathon for ALL our fuckin' lives.

This.

That "spidey sense" is a mechanism to help protect you. It's not a saber tooth tiger today, but the mechanism is still there.

Listen to it!

At least their residents wouldn't technically be padawans.

But ... they could've picked anything else :D

Inaction by Congress, the Senate, SCOTUS and the People, gives the President sweeping authority to do whatever the fuck he wants, Constitution or not.

And that's what he's doing, right now.

Except the diamond has functional value, such as in jewelry, industrial applications, as a tool, as an ingredient in advanced processes... the NFT... right click, save image... and what do you have?

Nothing.

This - gum up the works. If they want to use clauses, fight back, make the issue go to our supreme court.

And on the other side, all the use of AI etc filtering out candidates before any humans get eyes on the apps.

So even a junior rough diamon unicorn is missed.

Pressures both ways, while us grunts in the trench are like uhhhhhhhh heeellloooo.

You put a reminder in your calendar to get a referral to a sleep specialist and get checked for apnea and/or narcolepsy.

Your experience may vary, but your description is how I found out after much suffering.

Best wishes <3

Is it feminism if I have a significant dislike for the shit women are forced through with <huge list of the shit and probably more>, but am also a dude?

Cause wtfffff the shiiiit and it makes no damn sense at all why it's allowed. Pisses me off.

There are certainly good -courses- that can supplement a strong IT foundation and existing experience and credentials. Especially on targeted topics. But if it sounds too good to be true it is. You’re not landing a SOC job on a 6 month bootcamp, these days.

I guess I haven't clearly articulated this in writing, but friends do not let friends without substantive IT work experience and/or a credible IT degree take cybersecurity career bootcamps in 2025.

They are up to no good. Shenanigans. Malfeasance. They are not a safe way to get a job.
