@molly0xfff play to your strengths, amirite? 😂

@thibaultmol @hellomiakoda @TechConnectify this was an excellent tip. Thank you.

@jschauma I'm not sure that the two are actually being conflated. At least, that wasn't my interpretation. To me, what it highlights is the amount of code out there with these sorts of latent vulnerabilities *because* these software projects and companies haven't been performing these code audits. Heartbleed was the shot across the bow about this problem, and we've had only (checks notes) 12 years since then to address the issue.

@JoeHenzi @chu @mawhrin it's hard to share like that. And brave. You may feel that it was a mistake, but it's so very important for stories like yours to be told. Silence encourages people to believe that these things don't happen. Or that they happen less often than they really do. It's the same thing that happened with women for so long, and it's gotten much better in the past couple of decades. Not good enough, or there wouldn't have been a point in the ad that led to the article. But definitely better.

@mawhrin @chu @JoeHenzi The rarity is part of the point. We're not talking about black swan events, just less frequent events. The flattening creates knee-jerk reactions. It builds stereotypes. It results in marginalization of people like Joe. And all of that is both unnecessary and unnecessarily harmful. It's not a zero-sum game, where acknowledging that every human is a potential victim means that we cannot protect women, or that we should care less about doing so.

@chu There's something I find fascinating in reading the comments. I had to go back and reread the article to make sure I didn't miss a signal. In no way did the advertisement imply that they're representing women who were harassed by men. Nor did the CBC article. Yet a significant percentage of the comments assumed it. I know that it is more common for women to be the victims here than men. And women should absolutely be treated with respect in the workplace that is generally afforded to men. I've seen plenty. But men are still often the victims of harassment, either by women or by other men. And those who are deserve acknowledgement and support, too. Reread the article like I did. The only genders mentioned in it are the owner of the business who was putting up the ad, and the judge who issued the ruling. And even then they were mentioned only in the sense of casual pronoun use. Chu, I am not pointing at you here. You responded appropriately to @JoeHenzi and so I don't want to discount that.

@Viss @dangoodin what could possibly go wrong?

@gareth I just wish there was à la Mode.

@oscarfalcon @Strandjunker it wouldn't be relevant in the trial. Per the text of the EO, as long as at least one parent is either a US citizen or legal permanent resident (green card holder), citizenship is granted.

@finner this was the fundamental evil of "Web 2.0". Companies providing a platform for people to share content for free, that the companies then monetized. Of course the platform couldn't be built or maintained for free, but the content was far more valuable than the platform, and yet the creators weren't seeing much if any revenue.

@adamshostack honestly, I think the biggest miss in The Matrix was the plot element that humans were being used as a power source. The laws of entropy disprove the model. It should have been that their brains were being used for compute. That's far more credible and, frankly, even more terrifying.

@bodhipaksa @_the_cloud shouldn't it have been in Helena?

@patmikemid@sfba.social @danielkennedy74@infosec.exchange I hope it was in writing

@mattblaze@federate.social @wendynather@infosec.exchange @alice@lgbtqia.space @paul_ipv6@infosec.exchange job security is a kind of security.

@mattblaze@federate.social I used to be able to mimic a dial tone with my voice. I could get modems and fax machines (remember those?) to send the Touch Tones, after which I would mimic the negotiation tones and get them to try to communicate with me. I doubt I could do that anymore. It's been about 35 years since I last did that.

@pewnack @mattblaze regional language. In New York, people stand *on* line to buy something. In most of the country, they stand *in* line. In the UK, they dispense with the line altogether and queue.

@mattblaze@federate.social and here I thought it was about the draft.

@mattblaze@federate.social recycled pillow material?

@mattblaze@federate.social @carlmalamud@official.resource.org back when he sold out to Microsoft? https://www.orlandosentinel.com/1996/01/17/microsoft-buys-vermeer-ups-its-internet-presence/

@mattblaze@federate.social @drahardja@sfba.social @tknarr@mstdn.social but it makes perfect sense to those who do cryptology for a living. Same reason why it's a really bad idea to have any monoculture design something for general use.

@mattblaze@federate.social as Dean Martin once sang: that's a Moiré.
