Slashnet still exists and it’s fairly active depending on the channel. #xkcd was bumping last time I checked my client.
Just a geek, finding my way in the fediverse.

You’re supposed to put a link to where we can buy your miracle vinegar/silver mix in your post. Have you learned nothing from these marketing geniuses?
I’m sitting in the backyard after work with my beard, my alcohol, and watching my chickens hunt grasshoppers in the yard… I nearly felt personally attacked.
If that had said “beard, alcohol, and chickens” then I would’ve been resigned to the stereotype.
Edit: on the beard, I’m just lazy. It’s just going to grow back anyway plus it’s a time saver. I’m rolling out of bed, into clothes, and into work at 05:30. Ain’t nobody got time for shaving. I gave up on shaving about 40 years ago.
: D
I think they just fixed it
Yeah, Linux can capture and playback the spoken distinction between lowercase and uppercase letters. Windows can’t do that.
You’re not taking advantage of that functionality?
I was at a tire shop the other day and somebody gave them the keys and said “it’s a blue Honda Accord”
The tech came back confused and eventually they realized it was a grayish (maybe a tinge of blue) Hyundai Accent.
At least they got the first letters correct, I guess.
“Demonrats” is my personal favorite.
… Not sure if it was originally a typo for “Demoncrats” or no.
The one I remember from school was phrased slightly differently (but same concept) :
Poor little Jimmy is lying on the floor, for what he thought was H2O was H2SO4
When it gets bad enough that I have to ; )
Though we have been on a kick lately of washing dishes immediately after supper and not letting them pile up.
Ah, delete the windows partition. That should keep me safe.
There was a big headline recently about a tech company accidentally hiring a North Korean “hacker” (I’m just going off the headline) so that might be fresh in memory with regards to your laptop farm reference.
Wow, that is impressively sneaky to use the legitimate domain.
It has to be human liver though. The alcohol will know if you try to trick it with other types.
I ALWAYS forget the name of these little guys even though I see them pretty frequently. Thank you for the reminder… I’ll try to commit it to memory this time (no promises)
The last round my company did was pretty damn good. The email itself was well done and professional looking. They even registered a domain that was one letter different than the company name for the source email domain and the phishing form.
It was still one of those things that makes you hesitate like “your password has expired, click here to reset it” and the email client blatantly flagged it as being from outside our true domain. The client warning was the easy thing to spot, the rest was really well done.
You just have me a flashback to a game named Nocturne from the late 90s. I didn’t remember anything about it, but I recall enjoying it.
I haven’t thought of that in at least 20 years.
Ah yeah, that makes sense. There’s a big difference between a 7cm folding pocket knife and a 20cm fixed blade rambo-esque hunting knife… And I can’t think of any reason to carry the latter around in a city : )
I’ve carried a knife in my pocket everyday for the past 35 years or so. It’s a useful tool both for actual work and mundane tasks like opening boxes/etc.
A few weeks ago I was hiking near a lake and found a bird entangled in fishing line. It would’ve been very difficult to free it without some type of blade. Hell, it took almost 15 minutes even with the knife because it was so wrapped up and distressed.
It was weird that it needed my social security number, bank account, mother’s maiden name, and the name of my first pet to make the order but I guess it was worth it to stay healthy. Thanks bud!
O, and tell Derek I said hey.
