Maybe I'm not following along with the exact meaning but this passage seems to imply that no one gave a crap about security until Microsoft showed up. An honorable mention goes to the world wide web's impact but mostly Microsoft Windows....

I don't know what sins against Facebook, YouTube, or society as a whole that I've committed... but I'm getting bombarded with nothing but ads for Nikki Haley or HIMS boner pills.
I've got to find some sort of penance to do to make my karma right.

Saw this today and it really resonated with me.
During the 90’s, scientists were cloning sheep, launching the Hubble telescope, mapping DNA.
Today it’s like for the last fucking time the earth is ROUND.

This is one of those sniff tests items that are friggin awesome to look for on a project. Something like this document that spells out who the hell is the target audience for whatever documentation you are writing. Just something to keep things focused.

If you’re going to be gathering with people over the holidays, you can potentially save your loved ones a lot of pain and grief by doing a rapid test first and staying away if you test positive or feel at all unwell. Missing out is no fun but being the cause of someone else’s illness would be worse!
