Flock surveillance is under scrutiny again. Reports of wrongful detentions and civil liberties concerns are piling up. Read stories from NBC News, @Futurism, @Gizmodo, and local news orgs across the U.S. to better understand the issue. https://flipboard.com/topic/flocksafety #Flock […]

Just in, in "water-is-wet"-type news, a study from journal the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS) shows that X's algorithm learns what you hate and shows you more of it. Here's the full story from @404mediaco. https://flip.it/wtOlNf #Technology #SocialMedia #ElonMusk

You don’t know how it feels when you’ve spent a decade taking to a void about serious threats to faltering water ICS security and the news finally breaks and the headlines are “vulnerable PLCs can be hacked”. I’m just wrecked.

If I gambled on both NFTs and the metaverse to the tune of millions and millions of dollars and even renamed my company accordingly I would be so canceled I’d be farming potatoes, but people are still quoting Zuck AI predictions on my daily news feed.

Just food for thought, but in 43 years of life, I had never seen grocery bread mould (in a normal lifespan to eat a loaf of bread) before I moved from America to Australia. Not once. I didn’t even understand what had happened. And I like, know stuff.

This stage of Fight Club, but at least the SANS crew showed up. 🥹🫠

Ok so, some idiot signed themselves up to teach three international six day classes in a row

Um, can anyone please help me with a contact at VirusTotal to unblock a school IP?

Nobody warns you how tremendously disconcerting going back to an American restaurant is after living anywhere else long term. - them walking off with your credit card & no tap to pay - the huge portions and sodium - the weird attentiveness for tips - being IDed over 30 - flags everywhere

Telling municipal water utilities to just not network their systems is the most RFK- calibre cybersecurity take possible by the way

Since we are doing eating and Australia this is how you eat fast food sushi in Australia - one of the cheapest quick bites you can get anywhere.

@hacks4pancakes the left-handed fork thing and never putting the utensils down kicked my ass for years.

Emigrating has generally been a very, very complicated and difficult task, but by far the hardest aspect has been relearning how to use a knife and fork. It's way harder than accents or driving on the other side of the road.

I hate this. https://www.reddit.com/r/ITCareerQuestions/comments/1vbsrpf/comment/p0w8t1z/?context=3

Even the man stubbornly fights the man in Australia This is the KFC reaction to a postal worker getting fired after an unauthorised KFC break (other stuff too, but everyone likes a good tale)

They had better have chosen ACDC for the Australian emergency alert tone

I’m in Singapore, and somehow I accidentally booked myself a tiny Disney princess hotel room that I can barely move around in without bonking my shins. It is tremendously goofy and fun but I have also been on 70 hours of flights so I’m very tired

Priscilla, Queen of the Desert and The Castle are both absolutely iconic movies for millennials and Gen X, and I can’t believe I never saw them in America. I mean, Hugo Weaving giving a thoughtful performance on 90s LGBT struggles, in drag, with dialogue on trans life at the time. (Cis actor aside.)

People don’t get that how far a bit of courtesy and effort goes in job hunts. I have gifted conference passes, party invites, given referrals, certification vouchers, and internships to mentees who showed up and cared. I’ve also permanently blocklisted people who low effort AI spammed, or no showed.

I bought a Fjallraven backpack because they were so highly recommended, and I’m sorry, I don’t understand the point and I have massive regrets. Someone needs to sell me the bag I purchased, because it’s not padded well and has no luggage strap or extra security pockets. Why do people buy these?

I’ll be debuting a new paper tomorrow at #OTCEP withJan Hoff. It’s about how to detect and more relevantly, remediate large scale commodity malware infections in legacy Windows environments that are unfortunately extremely common in critical infrastructure […]

@hacks4pancakes the relevant ACM conferences for me are actually all green, somewhat to my surprise. Not that I’m keen on flying into the US or at all, really.

Having an in person international or national event in America? Are you weighing factors like lodging and transport? Cool stuff to do? Here’s a map to consider if any of your attendees may possibly, even remotely be LGBTQIA. And you care about them.

American exceptionalism is a hell of a drug and psychosis. Try being an immigrant American living somewhere with social medical and telling people it’s actually good and less expensive. The bots and naysayers come screaming out of the woodwork to try to make excuses for why it’s actchully terrible.

@hacks4pancakes@infosec.exchange I have found myself searching for articles written before 2023 for certain topics, a sort of low-background articles. Except search has turned into such a sludge that I could swear the old syntax is being ignored most of the time
