No disrespect for Maj. Breach, but with that name she has no business working in cybersecurity. It just looks bad!
THIS. Everybody celebrating, I get it, but they need to actually DO SOMETHING now. Like, MEANINGFUL somethings. And not just chasing convictions. AI Regulations. Addressing the impending joblessness. Healthcare. They have their work cut out for them - just electing blues alone isn't enough. ACT.

I am once again begging Americans to understand that speeding/red light cameras which only do anything if someone is speeding/goes through a red light, *are not the same thing* as Flock-style ALPR cameras.

My teenager has reached an important milestone as he sees all the political ads and asks “who the hell is this actually influencing?! I mean I guess it must work if they’re spending all the money on it but people would have to be SO stupid…to…oh. Yikes.” And that’s why it’s important to vote, son.

Good news everyone! Autonomous agents can now define tickets, write the code, raise the PR, review/approve/merge, test, and release to production all without needing a developer or QA engineer involved!* *results may vary
Dylan Beattie@dylanbeatt.ie · 2mo agoToday Microsoft Azure asked me for some feedback. Pretty sure we solved "circles" back in the 1990s. I remember radio buttons working just fine in Netscape Navigator. But maybe AI decided it's better this way. 🤷🏻♂️
In fact, you know what, if you’re over 40 I think you should get to do a second set of 9
Kate@geekate.bsky.social · 2mo agoYeah it’s hard to pick just 9, and I’m missing a lot of favorite titles, but these all had a huge impact in some way.

Rik's Random Retro@riksrandomretro.com · 2mo agoLike everyone else is saying this is very difficult to narrow down. But looking more at games that had an impact, or ones I played at important points in my life... this is as close as I can get!
So…I mean, have we gotten to the point where we’re so afraid of any kind of precipitation that we’re preemptively canceling everything? I’m no meteorologist but looking at the forecast for Saturday I’m struggling to make sense of this. Like yes it’ll be rainy, but… @serwewx.bsky.social thoughts?
