After seeing projects grow from student after student add-ons... I think I would like badly programmed shell scripts doing this, potentially somehow doing this as root or some intern's account-that-should-die-but-it-works-this-way, over any AI wrangling of sensitive information as students.

"Are you free now to talk?" and other such texts are more likely to have people assume it's a bad number and reply.

The hook for a scammer is if they can trigger 'hot' reactions like fear, curiosity, wanting to help, etc, than skips the thinking brain. Args to poopy head manipulators!!

KITTY!!!

"do I sell this fun data to bad people?", "should I store SSN/SIN and drivers licenses to //checks notes, provide electricity to a building" (NS Power hack!), "should I leave this wide open and mix all the PII together in this data soup," <- how I think of it. Others may have other ideas.

Or, entertainingly quirky with a Teddy Bear!

(*delusional. Working either in ethics or(/and) security, I think, requires a bit of being delusional)

I die a little inside when people spend oodles on skincare products but skip SPF. Why. WHY. 🥲

Sunscreen is the only one that could be considered 'anti-aging' and the rest *sometimes* have benefits for short-term appearances. Some have benefits but how they're being layered with others negates them because chemistry is mean.

Wash, moisturizer, spf, exfoliate - the rest is bonus 🤷🏻‍♀️

I do consider 20-25 year old books historical when it comes to technology - even popular sources 🥲 (tears of how fast things change and keeping up)

Markdown reference notes in Zotero that syncs to Obsidian to avoid my ADHD trap of working in Obsidian. Also included is the object-oriented approach to my knowledge system.

BUUUT! Not your hands on their keyboards forever afterwards. ... Well, depends on where you land in security 😅

That’s because they’re mine. All mine-y.

Instead of using heading 3 to start, please just format heading 1. For the love of Teddy bears!!!

Be kind.

The post striking for the second time in a year is hard; not just for confidence in using the post, but for businesses that rely on it. The people provide an essential service.

A few folks have mention testing them and finding hit and miss quality. Best of luck shopping!

Finally, a clear night while travelling to see the Milky Way better!

iPhone 13 camera results :)

“I need to pee!!!” - said the kid who didn’t need to pee at the rest area in the Cobequid Pass.

At least Teddy finally got to check out the giant blueberry in Oxford. You know, 10-20 minutes after we left the first bathroom 👀

I have such a GRR feeling towards this. The data grab is clear. …. And if a restaurant doesn’t have this option, my ND self will skip it. The adoption is what gets me out of the house.

My fantasy world has all the digital tools with none of the data collection 😭

Happy Long Weekend to all those who celebrate either the holiday, or “holy bananas this is going to be a long ☠️ weekend”

For those who are celebrating both, I invite you to Sky Screaming at sundown. I’m releasing the feelings of 7 day old glasses being broken to answer “how far do they twist?” 🫠

Injecting a drop of ✨ joy ✨ for the internet.

My kid forgot 2 kitties at his grandparents while they are traveling around. They're now on the "take photos of adventure stuffy friends!" bandwagon.

Today they went apple picking.

The Nobel Piece Prize for really being a piece of work in all the wrong ways.

Today’s trialing #bird e-bikes and e-scooters.

E-scooters are harder than they look! 😂 wiped out head first over handlebars after hitting a curb (going slow because it was new)

Okay - I’ll bike! … I’m too short for the bikes 😭

Please advise on the updated CPNP* guidelines for winter relays. Mine are struggling with the sweaters suggested.

Awww that sounds lovely!! I have no specific questions; I love his story - I study astrophysics while working in security, so it's exciting to see the blending of research methods, different perspectives, and the same curiosity for needed for both. He's a treasure for the social + tech commentary ❤️

Thanks for the recommendation! I haven't read it, but it's currently borrowed awaiting 'processing' (read -> annotate -> Zotero) 😍
