No. If it’s everyone, then it’s everyone and at worst it’s not the most efficient way to communicate.

I would say, if you single out a group of people based on physical characteristics, then it gets weird.

But if it’s “The internet won’t start” vs “Every packet on port 433 is dropped even though no firewall rule is set”, then I think it’s reasonable to make some asumptions and adjust communication accordingly.

I work in IT and sometimes I have to explain something to a user who is somewhat tech-illiterate. Even developers may have significant blind spots when it comes to their OS or networking, for example.

So, if I notice it, I’ll change some terminology and I may explain instructions differently or use metaphors so every user understands what I’m saying.

And most coworkers do the same thing.

Here’s why I bring this up: For whatever reason, some colleagues give female coworkers the same treatment.

And that’s weird.

If someone is constantly treated like this, they should be allowed to rant about it on their blog. I’m fine with snark if it geht’s a point across.

Only data that is not stored cannot fall victim to attackers. It does not matter whether it is a ‘nigerian prince’, Microsoft or some agency. Even if you completly trust whatever entity with your data right now, they may become problematic in the future.

This is why a low profile is a crucial component of OPsec.

Recall is objectively stupid, even if Microsoft only had their users best interest in mind. And they don’t.

That’d be my interpretation aswell.

This is a spin on a existing meme called “Thour”, where various animals or objects are licking a lemon.

Who’s “they”?

If it’s Urologists, like, those are the experts. If it’s someone on Twitter, they don’t matter. If it’s women as a whole… oh, boy. Dude. If it’s “the jews”, OH. BOY. DUDE. HOW EVEN?

Me: Can I have (small template parser)?

Stackoverflow: No, we have (small template parser) at home.

Can you spot why years, months, days, hours and minutes are not SI units?

This is an honest question. The SI units were chosen very carefully with regard to their human usability and scientific universality.

I fairly often drive 50,000m/h, except on the autobahn. There I usually go about 120,000,000mm/h.

And if I stack 1000 1cm³ blocks of water, the resulting 10m high column has a volume of 1l, weighs 1kg and exerts 100kPa of pressure on its base. And to heat it by 1°C requires 1kcal, while 1N would accelerate it by 1m/s every second.

What I want to say is: Your point is stupid and your units are too.

How can it be that people don’t realize how badly faked this is and what position it is trying to sneak through?

The innovation of DRM and Intels SGX extention is the reason no current-gen PC can play 4K Blurays in 4K.

This image is so old I had it on my mp3 player, when I was a kid. (Don’t ask why, we’ll both just cringe) He just has very thick legs, so he can do all the cool parkouring, I imagined him doing, while sitting in the backseat of my parents car, listening to Nightwish and Subway To Sally.

…man, this post is bringing back some memories.

If my 3D printer has a problem, it’s not working properly.

When my 2D printer throws a fit, it’s because it’s doing its job of being a vicious piece of shit perfectly.

Important difference.

Friend who isn’t a degenerate: What are you laughing at?

Me: panic

Fair point, will do… at some point in the future.

I don’t think anyone takes this seriously. It’s just fun to come up with the worst password policies.

Just imagine the error: “Sorry, your password could not be set. If you decide to include more than one animal, make sure they get along or include a zookeeper as well.”

Fucking brilliant.

The Interrogator: “You think you’re so funny… WHAT. IS. THE. PASSWORD!!!”

A guy, tied to a chair, bloodied and crying: “Amogus, it’s a drawing of the Amogus guy.”

The interrogator prepares another round of fists
