@mcc in that typeface it vaguely resembles one of those boutique stores that have like, four random objects in the front window and if you go inside they'll immediately ask whether you have an appointment

RE: https://mastodon.social/@mntmn/116438635764398411my last therapist, no joke, was one who specialized in psychosis, and their advice was genuinely helpful for dealing with .......all of -this- shit.RT: https://mastodon.social/users/mntmn/statuses/116438635764398411

alas, they vanished on me after having to get heart surgery for some kind of post-covid complication, so I've been having to tank this shit on my own for the past several months as I try to find another one that will be suited for my particular, admittedly edge-case, needs.

"Hi I'm in infosec and need you to -not- use any kind of electronic notetaking in order for me to feel safe enough to open up about my concerns enough to have a meaningful discussion" is a fun way to start a conversation.

like, that alone is the kind of thing that is typically the province -of- people in paranoid psychosis.infosec -generally- puts you into a mindset similar to that, because infosec proficiency means you genuinely see the world differently and you understand that there -are- people watching you with malicious intent.which means that learning how to manage this awareness and still be functional is a challenge.

RE: https://infosec.exchange/@SecureOwl/116584747509188880I always start my answer by asking what granularity they want and where in the stack they want me to start, because I -will- go into -excruciating- detail at levels I know they are not prepared to engage with.RT: https://infosec.exchange/users/SecureOwl/statuses/116584747509188880

"Oh, you choose" buddy you need to specify your scope of work better; this is a failure on your part and I am judging your competence as a project manager accordingly.

tho one time I did get an interviewer who -did- realize the need to scope after I specified the way in which the buckling-spring mechanism of a model-M keyboard made electrical contact and was converted into a USB HID event* and started going into how that bus was connected into the system and would be interpreted by the OS.* it's a Unicomp variant. love that keyboard. it's very loud.

RE: https://eigenmagic.net/@arichtman/116583583697455397friends, financial apps have had to learn over and over again not to store financial data in floating point variables.and that's on computers that actually work. if you hook your finances up to openai? I will not help you, and I will advise everyone else not to help either.RT: https://eigenmagic.net/users/arichtman/statuses/116583583697455397

@AmyZenunim @alice .....wait, really? I mean yes, as a trans girl I'm more likely to see it than most, but it's one of the top 100 popular names; is it really that rare to see it?

what's more, this is forced sex work in a way that makes the workers in question uniquely vulnerable to the clientele.

@401matthall A lot of expected performative subservience in notionally professional environments is sex work. It's kinda everywhere, and it really sucks.

RE: https://sauropods.win/@futurebird/116663348089105806just because a job -can- be done by one person does not mean that it -should- be.this is a common failure mode for conservative-owned small business, btw - they habitually understaff their businesses to try to 'save costs' and go into a death spiral of poor service leading to poorer sales as a result.and yes, I am specifically calling out conservative-owned small business here - the "used car dealer" class - as being the most likely to publicly state these kinds of systems-illiterate ideals* in public.this illiteracy, and the class-based bias that @futurebird calls out in the post I'm quoting, tend to go hand-in-hand; they both derive, I suspect, from an underlying "self-reliance" meme, which in turn comes from a whole-ass bunch of early childhood development stuff** that is its own separate-ass rant.anyway. the ideal in-use time of a resource is -not- 100%, and anyone who thinks otherwise should not be trusted to run anything other than their mouth.* anyone competent in systems thinking immediately understands the concept of "separation of duties" allowing far greater efficiency and, in turn, cost savings; even elementary school children can, with coaching, be taught to figure this out.** you know, I wanted to be a parent once upon a time? and researching early childhood development - because it's me, and if I was going to do a job I'd want to do it right, not fuck up monumentally in the way my parents did - convinced me that I was not someone who ought to be one.RT: https://sauropods.win/users/futurebird/statuses/116663348089105806
