I don't think anyone in history has ever calmed down when told "calm down."
Yet, for some reason, this is still the first thing everyone says.
I find people confusing.

"You get more conservative when you get older" only really worked for the generations that got RICHER as they got older.
The real truth was always just "You get more selfish the more money you have".

In 2018, a secure communications app called Anom started to gain popularity among organized criminals. Soon, top tier drug traffickers were using it all over the world. Because they thought their messages were secure, smugglers and hitmen coordinated high stakes crimes across the platform. But Anom had a secret: it was secretly run by the FBI. For years Joseph Cox has investigated the inside story of Anom, speaking to people who coded the app, those who sold it, criminals who chatted across it, and the FBI agents who surreptitiously managed it. This new talk, building on details from his recent book DARK WIRE, will include never-before-published technical details on how the Anom network functioned, how the backdoor itself worked, and how Anom grew to such a size that the FBI started to lose control of its own creation.
It will also reflect on how police have entered a new phase of compromising entire encrypted phone networks, with little to no debate from the public, and provide critical insight on what really happens when authorities introduce a backdoor into a telecommunications product.

“Study Finds Consumers Are Actively Turned Off by Products That Use AI”
https://futurism.com/the-byte/study-consumers-turned-off-products-ai
> When AI is mentioned, it tends to lower emotional trust, which in turn decreases purchase intentions
Like I've been saying, we don't need the term "slop". Consumers have decided that "AI" in its entirety is bullshit. And, honestly, they’re right.
Researchers have found that including the words "artificial intelligence" in product marketing is a major turn-off for consumers.Victor Tangermann (Futurism)
Today is #EarthOvershootDay – the day we've exhausted all the natural resources that the Earth can produce for 2024.
We would need 1.7 Earths to sustain our current rate of consumption.
This is why our #EUGreenDeal aims to give more back to nature than we take away from it.
Every one of those things was said about me as a child/teen. Every. One. Of. Those. Things.
And at 56, I still haven’t completely recovered from the damage that those words caused.
“Words can’t hurt you IS A DAMNED LIE!”
🥺
Sorry. I’ll go back to my corner now.
My Blåhaj is getting a washing today so I was searching up at what temperature and such to wash him at...
...Second result I got was for my own blog post from last year when I washed him. I completely forgot I had written the exact washing instructions I had used previously there, but thanks to younger me for doing that.

Don't want to come across as begging but I'm scared. 130+ jobs applied for, 2 interviews, 2 rejections. I know it sucks for everyone right now but I really need work.
Laid off while recovering from long COVID. Remote worker since 2015, or blue state with relocation assistance. Project 2025 is on the horizon and fucking terrified because even if Kamala wins, I don't think she's going to protect trans people in red states. At this point a month left before both health insurance & money run out.
All the usual SRE stuff plus all sorts of indepth Linux stuff, actually enjoy cursed bash and regexes. Not the World's Greatest Rockstar Dev but can get by in Python, C, and Go. Lots of monitoring, observability, and big data stuff, also done some heavy security work in the past, plus AuDHD hyperfocus on demand and willing to learn anything.
Will find and fix any problem in a company, if it's technical, political, or something else.
