@mttaggart I can't speak to SIEM (yet) ... I use and love a password manager, but it's likely creating a massive sense of false security. Ditto 2fa. I suspect these user facing tools distract us from human factors. 'Oh, I've got a parcel that couldn't be delivered ... '

@mttaggart yeah my understanding of security so far is that we need layers of protections, no one solution is going to do it all.I wonder if fingerprint readers would fit your brief. So crappy and unreliable as to be worthless.

@Suiseiseki I take it you're not a fan. I enjoyed them, until they got too pi-focused. Magazines can be a nice way to get a bit of news and a few tips. I enjoy the interviews, too.

@Wolven thank you for this reminder. It should be self evident, but it's a surprisingly difficult idea to hold on to. 🙏

@stux @Infoseepage so good. The world building is fantastic. I was obsessed for a while, collecting screengrabs of the sets. Love the language and the politics.

@vik maybe, but roads are pretty important to everyday life. We were playing dodgems after the last lot of rain. Congrats on your story!

Why in god's name would you EVER work for, attend, or send your kids to a college that has put a sniper on its roof and aimed it at student protestors? Like that should be IT for that institution. I would not go within a hundred yards of that institution if it were the last university on earth.

I mean we put up with a lot of shit for the sake of paying the mortgage, but you're pointing a gun at our kids? That's a line you can't cross.

@stux honestly it's a good thing this doesn't catch on, canine store clerks would soon put a dent in my no-buy habits.

@stux damn, I wish I had time ... always fancied doing some game art. I'm not a designer though, it'd be terrible probably.

I was considering taking Ubuntu for a spin, partly for nostalgia (fond memory of the jawdropping moment I booted to that gorgeous orange and purple wallpaper) and partly because they seem good at what they do, so promise stability and security. But Canonical seems awfully chummy with Microsoft.

@benroyce how the hell do these people even know what sort of medical care a student or employee is receiving or has received? As a lecturer all I need is a doctor's cert saying something along the lines of 'student unfit for work for two weeks'. Their medical care is their own business.

@t_l_wood I'm thinking the small efficiencies of a new machine justify the expense.

@t_l_wood I guess it depends whethervit will translate into meaningful productivity gains and reduced stress, or if other budget constraints are more pressing. Doing a systematic cleanup and optimize of your current machine can help a little.

@t_l_wood I've noticed issues between Mac and Windows when I've received documents; Google docs too. Actually I wonder if this explains some weird formatting I've seen in student work. Docx but maybe they're on Mac.

@t_l_wood @lightweight likewise. I appreciate the commitment to open source evangelism, but I'm effectively a deck hand on the Titanic. And management in institutions actively disregards the opinions of those who aren't the annointed.

Trying to avoid drama but honestly, Pink News can go fuck itself. Excuse my language. https://lucyfromnaarm.com/p/breaking-pinknews-refuses-to-cover
