I will never forgive Microsoft for replacing my right control key with a fucking Copilot AI button. Yes, I used PowerToys to try to remap it, but that only works if you’re not typing fast, so great, now I have a speed limit on using that key as a control modifier. You’d think Microsoft would have learned when they failed to ram Bing down people’s throats but nope, guess not. 🤬 #microsoft #copilot

@pj this thing is going full hockey stick! 🤣

@holothuroid I’d propose lw;dr for “login wall, didn’t read”. People often share links to Instagram, Facebook, X, etc. but if you’re not on that service you get hit with a login wall.
In news that will surprise virtually no one, tolerances on basic Master padlocks are so wide that you can use half cuts to make a tryout key set of 256 keys that will have a key to open any 4-pin Master padlock. But… I struggle to see the actual utility of making and having such a tryout key set. Most 4-pin Master padlocks are trivially raked, bumped, or picked, or Lishi-ed if M1, so short of long term persistent access to such a padlock I just don’t see it being worth the time making the set 🤷♂️ #locks #lockpicking #master #pentesting #security #padlocks
@sycophantic@infosec.exchange @pluralistic@mamot.fr I’ve watched this three times and every time was 👌

@deviantollam@defcon.social @1password@1password.social This was a great interview, which demonstrated that above all (even 1337 physical penetration skillz), the ability to communicate and explain different concepts intelligently is someone’s most important skill

@Casey@theforkiverse.com thank you! There was something off about that announcement but I couldn’t put my finger on it—thanks for revealing the back story/true motivations

@evdelen @Casey Yeah I was really surprised at the low limits mentioned in the podcast but figured, like they probably did, if you’re hitting the limits that’s a nice surprise. It is smart to have a roadmap though, if it seems like there is at all a possibility of hitting the limits. Because it’s much easier to execute the contingency plan when you come up with it ahead of time, than when people are complaining they can’t sign up because the limits have been hit. 😂

@Casey told you that you were on fire 🔥😁

@ingi@theforkiverse.com @pj@theforkiverse.com the lack of ads, and automatic link-rewriting, is awesome. Eventually, you might run across some jerks, it’s part of dealing with humans in general, but so far there seem to be less jerks here than elsewhere, and the admins of each server have options to deal with them. A lot of your mastodon/Fediverse quality of experience depends on who is administering your server/instance and how much time/attention they are giving to it.

@holger@theforkiverse.com @pj@theforkiverse.com it’s mostly searching, or you can click hash tags too of course, and then following. I’d warn you to not follow too many accounts at once though, it’s easy to over follow and get overwhelmed. You can also set notifications for posts on accounts you always want to see stuff from but again, use it cautiously. That notification feature is usually a little bell icon on the person’s profile (kinda like YT, “ don’t forget to hit that little bell icon” 😂)

@apiratemoo memes are like the 80 in the 80-20 rule; they are the grease that keeps the wheels of the socials moving 😁
Replying to
@apiratemoo I wonder how long before Ego Husk bands posts that mention Mastodon, as part of his Brave New World of Free Speech policy 🤣
(Totally yoinking that meme for posting over there btw :)
@sycophantic@infosec.exchange I was always annoyed that it’s a pretty marked attempt to replace an open communications protocol (IRC) with another proprietary walled garden
@sycophantic@infosec.exchange out of principle, or because it asked you for age related ID BS?
Welp, I guess it’s back to killing dogs for Kristi Noem

In completely unrelated news, I’ve heard that if a TikTok user tries to send another user a DM with the word Epstein, there are technical difficulties with that too and the message won’t go through for some reason 🤔
@sycophantic@infosec.exchange I agree; if someone deliberately went to the trouble to set p=reject, it should be respected

@pj@theforkiverse.com yes they do, and I hope you’re sitting down when you have the shocking realization that the link you posted stays exactly as you posted it—no automatic “link shortening” (i.e., rewriting the URL to route it through some tracking system so everyone who clicks on it will have that fact added to their Permanent Record aka adtech profile)
