It's not just cybersecurity, it's losing the skills and the means to control and promulgate information in ways that aren't at the mercy of the worst actors in any context. If your ability to treat patients or read books can be totally torpedoed by the people holding the keys (or stealing them)...🔥
This is honestly shockingly aligned with things like medical records. Electronic health records and the digitization of healthcare, for all the good that comes with it, is incredibly vulnerable.
See: the cyber attack on Ascension in 2024. Ground care to a halt for weeks. People died.
Ayyyyybolish I.C.E.
**in existence in this fandom
honestly it's the single most productive whump fuel in existence. the scenes that birthed a million fics
biggest tragedy of JKR putting me off the fandom tbh. the drarry whump and all the other delicious fic generated tropes are top tier, alas
Yeah. That's. That's about it. 😂
The onion era of infowars is going to be 🤌🏻
royjamie shippers, where are you. I know you're out there🕯️📢 please be friends with me
A grid photo of 16 different characters all played by the legend Tim Curry.
Tim Curry, the absolute legend, turns 80 today. This man took huge swings.
*shrieking into the void*
ROY KENT AND JAMIE TARTT ARE RUINING MY LIFE
Closeup picture of my hair, which is black with not easily seen streaks of green, yellow-green, and yellow. It is down over my shoulders and goes about halfway down my chest and it is very curly! Lots of little ringlets and bouncy looking curlicues.
at 35, I too was not ready for diffusing to be the thing that turned my hair from "intellectually I know I've got curls" to "wait they actually do the ringlet thing??"
OMG
Applications for #OTW Legal Paralegals, OTW Legal Trademark Specialists, and #AO3 Policy & Abuse Volunteers are still open! Check out our volunteering page for more information: otw.org/volunteer
this is one of those "what's old is new again" things that needed to never have existed
Some people have misunderstood this.
We literally saw how Claude itself, coded by Claude, turns one API call into a DOS of thousands upon thousands of API calls done in the sloppiest fucking way possible.
This postmortem shows Bluesky vibecoded a function to DOS itself, in a similarly stupid way.
I think this deserves to be shared again. I'm still laughing almost three weeks later
I regularly have to check in my with my group chat about people I've got blocked.
"guys why do we hate this person, again?"
the way I would suddenly become a sports fan
We’re the bad guys for pointing out that men often rape women AND we’re the bad guys for suggesting that not every man should be treated as a would-be rapist the second he invites a woman to drink with him or go into his room.
Man I forgot how much I like writing
I have been in such a weird emotional dynamic for years, getting settled in a new job and starting grad school and I haven't written anything for me, not even fic, in actual years.
Now I'm remembering I'm actually kind of good at it 😂
I never knew pope-watching would be so satisfying
Less than a week ago, there were several prominent voices on here saying that they were sure Orbán was going to cancel Hungary's election. And casting that as a preview of coming horrors here in the States.
Well, Hungary had its vote, Orbán lost in a landslide, and he's conceded.
this is correct
Karl Urban as Judge Dredd
Honestly unacceptable that there aren't 20 Karl Urban Dredd movies for me to watch.
tragic, tbh
9/10ths of why I chose to become an administrator is because of how many times I've been let down by my own admins. If I can't change the system I can at least be a safe place within it. That's the hope, anyway.
The mind reading is 🤌🏻 surely they can tell what the other is thinking. couldn't possibly be wrong about anything
communication? not in MY ships
That fucking sucks, I'm sorry. I see it happen all the time in healthcare. Shit just gets disappeared, and it's exhausting. We can't just David and Goliath this shit, so we deal until we can't deal and then we quit and go somewhere else and hope it's different.
exactly. I want the pain and uncertainty and misunderstandings and shit.
Honestly this is the truth. The chase, the delay, the "wait is this it?", people being stupid and oblivious, the pining. God. I'm such a sucker.
And then they get together and it's like YES but also FUCK, NOW WHAT
"established relationship" is an auto-exclude tag for me lol
