  Couldn’t agree more. At first when I read it, I was like “wow”, the my logical brain did a re-read and I was like “doubt”.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Busses with LED advertising on the side.⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Has anyone else noticed that energy conservation/limiting never seem to apply to advertising?

  Consumers are told to limit their use of energy through a whole host of technologies and initiatives, while ads are becoming ever more visible and energy consuming.

  Would you look at all that blue light, that’s really going to put you to sleep /s

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What administrative powers exist among workspaces in the software industry and why?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Can’t speak for everyone, but being root/Admin on a computer come with dangers, one of them being security. Beyond that I, there are also individuals that don’t want to or don’t have the time to learn skills that aren’t strictly necessary for their job.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What advice would you give to your younger self?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I would tell myself to not push emotions away, since they would inevitably return as anxiety.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How the Grenfell fire in the UK exposed 'racial capitalism'⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I think the expression ‘no shit, Sherlock’, is a fitting desciption to the conclusion of that inquiry.

  We all nothing’s going to happen to the landlord, it will be business as usual, nothing to see here.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨TikTok parent company Bytedance sets aside $1 Billion to cover future European data privacy fines as the Chinese company faces a barrage of lawsuits over its mishandling of children’s data⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  If you needed additional proof that fines are just the cost of their business model, this is it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The bizarre secrets I found investigating corrupt Winamp skins⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  The nostalgia is strong in this one, I love these discoveries.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Windows Zero-day Flaw Let Hackers Downgrade Fully Updated Systems to Old Vulnerabilities⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Hacking Millions of Modems (and Investigating Who Hacked My Modem)⁩ ⁨⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Really good writeup of a very interesting exploit.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What happens when every time your browser sends data to a tracker it makes a beep sound?⁩ ⁨⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  That sounds absolutely nothing like an old school modem

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Don't worry, we only lost the dangerous parts... not something personal like your dob⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  They do know that that’s exactly the information that’s behind every scam right?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What are You Working on Wednesday⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Reworking a legacy ci/cd pipeline.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is America Really That Bad?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Not American, but I imagine that news reporting uses loaded terms and partly drives the division between republicans and democrats. I assume that in reality most people are levelheaded people that don’t hate or fear their neighbors.

  Yay cable TV is back

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Nearly two-fifths of robberies in London last year were for mobile phones⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Not an expert in any way, but I would assume it is similar to having physical access to a computer. You would not be able to get into the existing device or retrieve data, but if you have stolen it and just to use the device, there are numerous tools to allow side loading of new blobs, that will bypass any restrictions.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What are You Working on Wednesday⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Software developer currently doing some re-work of tests that are intermittently failing because of a problematic asynchronous implementation.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Capitalism indoctrination in progress.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I doubt most people leave because of a lack of ping-pong table.
