@farbenstau@infosec.exchange @davidrevoy@framapiaf.org Love it! Thanks

@davidrevoy@framapiaf.org Just curious, does she have a closed-mouth expression (shocked/stumped/silenced)

@VeroniqueB99@mastodon.social @felis_catus_domesticus@toot.community Some of these linux distros area really easy to use these days, I like Mint

@ee@mastodon.nl There is no difference between you, and a copy of you, for any system that can't tell the difference between you and a copy of you. That means ultimately that the more accurately a system is at uniquely identifying you, the more ability it has to impersonate you with lesser systems.

@TheConversationUS@newsie.social When I go to walmart to buy potting soil, it's stored out in the lot. I don't throw it in a cart and haul it inside the store, I snap a photograph of the UPC code and take that register. I scan a photograph of the code. Works fine. And this is the problem with biometrics. They may uniquely identify you, but being public, they allow anyone to uniquely identify you, for any purpose outside of your consent.

DOGE stopped when it targeted the Pentagon

AI will get neutered when it tries to replace lawyers

Korben Dallas chatting with Mr. Kim hovering in his floating restaurant is my favorite part of Fifth Element

@ahchay @ScottEdelman Whoever did the illustrations here, it's close, date and fonts https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/336491264318

@Gargron@mastodon.social were stir sure

@ScottEdelman My current guess is a mid-70s issue of Mates by John M. Burns

A few years ago, after finishing 20 years as a sysadmin, I compiled a list of rules that were generally true.

1. You can't automate a process that doesn't already exist

2. Good engineering makes for easy administration

3. The easiest thing for us to do is exactly what we're told. Inventing what needs to be done takes longer.

4. It's just as easy to do something right as it is to do it wrong (or avoid doing it)

5. Everything you know will be suboptimal in three years, replaced in five, and obsolete in ten

6. Someone who is unwilling to learn is no different from someone unable to learn

7. It costs more than you think it will. It will also take longer, and do less

8. Extent always exceeds intent

9. The only safe connection is a disconnection

10. Your intellectual work is a part of the total cost of ownership

@Daojoan@mastodon.social A Bobby Kotick quote comes to mind

@cwebber seems redundant

@elfin I wouldn't mind the ads if they weren't a threat vector

@TheConversationUS In other words, he's a religious nutjob.

@simonzerafa @superbetsy At least that one has the red triangle - if it's a condition where you may be ejected completely from your vehicle, at least a red triangle please

@batkaren@mastodon.online Happy birthday BK :)

@cavyherd Crows are mimics

@Daojoan@mastodon.social " Find a niche that's too small for the Moloch-captured companies to notice and go so deep into it that by the time they arrive, your product is years ahead in the dimension that matters to those users." Yes.

@howliteart@mastodon.art I love gathering on druids way back since BC

@gedeonm@mastodon.social You haven't heard Frozen until you've heard it sung in the original Klingon

@oatmeal I agree with most of what you said. What I do know is that AI art will do what clipart did, and give the talentless people who understand the value of having visuals break up mind-numbing blocks of text the opportunity to illustrate their documents. As long as nobody pretends that it's an original artistic composition, there's no harm done. In return we give people who are otherwise visually mute the opportunity to mumble a little Also, thank you for "ten trillion teraclops per floppyshart"

@alice I learned long ago that there is no downside to blocking people.

@dangillmor@mastodon.social Agreed Dan. Finances usually conspire to undermine philanthropy, but this year I'm a first time donor

@Santaclaus@c.im Or you could just buy the list from Facebook
