this cat solves murders but always withholds the truth for a few days because a little bit of chaos is fun, non?

Until about a month ago, I could type wayb into my browser bar and Google would autofill waybackmachine and send me to the internet archive. Very neat, today and efficient.

Suddenly the same four letter now send me to WayBack Burgers, which is a Google advertiser (but doesn’t have any business in New Zealand).

This is a clear example of how Google is becoming, not just a lot less useful, but positively poisonous and annoying.

Bing isn’t much better. DuckDuckGo has its own set of problems.

Staying true to yourself is a full-time job, but I'm on hiatus.

I am getting good and drunk tonight. There will be music, and video games, and guitar played badly by me.

I feel it's important to visualize your goals. Carry on. 😂

I do enjoy the negative spaces left over on the laser bed

Friday reminder that everyone should continue to mask in healthcare. It is truly the least we can do (along with basic hygiene) so that we stay healthy and our patients stay healthy. Now back to work, to see infants, seniors, people with disabilities or who are immunocompromised.

Tombstones that used 'Mr.' and 'Mrs.' restored a sense of dignity to people who had been denied it in life.

There's an email account I got from a regional ISP back in 1999 that I still use. This 20th-century email address STILL gets #spam directed to the woman (by first and last name, as in "Dear Deeza Nutso, we are trying to reach you about your auto war4anty") who had it before I did.

Which only goes to show you, we have #email #spammers out there who are circulating and using spam-target lists that are very damned near a quarter-century old.

I understand that poor urban people and poor disabled people often have different economic and health and social relationships to takeout restaurant eating than poor rural people like me do. I'm not in their shoes. But when I see mutual aid requests to fund a $45 delivery meal, my first thought is always "Shit, I haven't had delivery OR a $45 meal in like five years. For that kind of money you could buy an instant cooker plus 10 pounds of beans and rice with enough left over for seasonings!"

Kate wrote an article in 2016. She'd write it differently now. But the 2016 article is apparently immortal and won't stop haunting her. https://www.lastwordonnothing.com/2023/07/07/the-trifecta-or-how-to-haunt-yourself-for-years-to-come/

This is a warning about Meta and Threads.

Please boost this here and outside of Mastodon so that pregnant people in the United States are informed that using Meta/Threads is dangerous.

I'm unlikely to get pregnant but I have ZERO presence on Meta/Facebook/Instagram/Threads as a matter of principle.

Fun fact. What drove me to start learning infosec was because when I found out my ex installed a keylogger on my computer and hacked my PayPal, it lit a fire in me. Plus so many people in infosec were so supportive, I knew I wanted to learn so I can help others too

One time at a party, I met someone from Croatia and I said: "You know what's funny? The native name of your country 'Hrvatska' sounds like German 'Krawatte' (Engl. 'tie')." He replied: "Yeah, it's because we invented it." I laughed: "Yeah, right! 😆 ". Turns out: He was right! Indeed, 'Krawatte' was loaned from French 'cravate' which means 'Croatian'.

Of course, most of the people around knew that I'm a linguist. Boy, did I feel stupid...
