The hyperfixation on data center water usage is one of those things that makes me think people are largely hunting around for respectable reasons to be mad at people they've already decided are evil based on emotional or tribal affinities.

Using LLM backed tooling to automate some tasks doesn’t eliminate other peoples involvement. The code still has to be reviewed and that takes people and tooling hours. In many cases this makes my job as an architect harder. Not easier.

What ultimately drove me out of my first full time infosec job at a major bank is that they hired a newly minted MBA to manage the security engineering organization
It was so painful to witness/experience that I was out in 3 months. Printed out a resignation letter and walked out the door

I watched the second season like 5 times due to the terminally catty Anthony Bourdain clone.
"the entire second season is grounded by internal drama within a polycule of French theater queers in post war Paris being explained to a terminally catty Anthony Bourdain clone" sounds good here's millions of dollars get at it

Being introverted and gay sucked in the 80s/90s so I just computered things and didn’t get trapped in pointless religious wars.

I love insane boycotts I’ve never heard of go around on social media. We’re going to put the screws to big business by not buying anything for a week, make sure to buy everything you need for a week the week beforehand.

Password managers should support subdomain and other pattern matching day 1. It's vexing that @proton.me Pass doesn't. I literally can't use it because of this basic lack of functionality.
