How to get me to order a thing online, a guide for brick and mortar store:
Put the thing I need in a locked shelf and hide employees away while I realize Prime has the same thing for the same price.
Shop local!

For the first time in my adult life I might not vote on a provincial election.
I can’t bring myself to vote for any of them.
With everyone running 32 bots connected to MCPs and logged in with their own identities, Slack channel membership is fast turning into a mess as complicated as Active Directory
Why isn't there a well-known file for payment info hashes so my clients can get a signed proof the bank account I ask them to pay me at is legit?
@kaylee@mas.to Trying out Wipr 2 after I got a bit sick of a previous ad blocker taking up a lot of RAM in every Safari tab.
One day in and it is delightful!
Ciaoooo see you at Sector!
On my way home after a very good IANS Forum. I wasn’t sure I’d survive 3 talks in one afternoon but the afternoon kept me alive, and so did people who showed up to my last talk instead of one on MythOS 😆
Ahhh when a local store you use against all logic, to support them, even if it means overspending and waiting longer + having to drive to pick stuff up decides to ask you for a deposit for a $100 order and it means having to CALL THEM ON THE PHONE.
Very easy way to convince me to order all of that online in the future. Should've looked at my order history...

@Tijn@dosgame.club 100%. I used to play games I didn't pay for, now I pay for games I don't have time to play!
Since when do Canadian customs intercept passengers getting off the plane at the gate for passport checks and questioning?
Second time it happens to me in 2026, love being stuck in the very spacious corridor for 20m.
Food packaging should show a ratio of energy used to make the food vs the food’s energy content.
For example bottled water would be infinite
Watching sports on TV is insanity now that everything is gambling.

Why is Slack so shit on slow and slightly unreliable networks?
Oh I guess it’s because people only ever use it from wired fiber connections on desktop computers
I won't stop but thx
Ok I see your point but who hasn't forgotten they did a sour candy eating contest and showed up to the doctor 3 days later with chemical burns and argued with the doctor "no, I did not burn myself?

@sawaba@infosec.exchange Oh yeah of course I run this too. It is not super aggressive, but it works. I think it is like a "de-fangled PiHole" in the sense that it works great, blocks less, but also it doesn't break anything. I've you've ever run PiHole on a home network with other family members you know how it can get 😂
Replying to
@sawaba@infosec.exchange Of course it breaks the most critical thing ever while you're in a plane. That's just how it works.

@davep@infosec.exchange tbh I think it's pretty much impossible to block this 100%, I'd say you definitely need to block all telemetry, avoid logging in to OneDrive, any microsoft account directly in Windows, don't use Edge, etc...

@zak@infosec.exchange @dangoodin@infosec.exchange Bought a Fiio "walkman" as a gift and the build quality seemed pretty good (thing was humongous compared to good walkmans (walkmen?) from back then though), I'd be willing to try out their mp3 players for sure.

@czorn C’est quand meme drôle essayer de “protéger” l’app d’un téléphone “non sécuritaire” alors que évidemment le site web est probablement accessible avec un PC qui a 12 malware et infostealer dessus de toute façon…

@zed@mstdn.party each click creates a signature based on the server’s challenge and the private key never leaves the physical key’s enclave so no (if yes that would be a MASSIVE failure in implementation, so far physical access seems like the most likely way of doing this), but there are some minor privacy considerations, like it can identify the brand and model of key you’re using etc

@hrbrmstr @neurovagrant I have seen correlation between the shittier onboarding the shittier the job so that’s promising!

@munin Every place I show up it feels like we can triple the quality of what we do without buying anything, very often while removing things, but the hardest part is to not get distracted by execs who worry about the random hot topic of the week

Anybody here knows FDs well? I need advice.

@thomasareed@infosec.exchange At least the new one seems good at setting multiple timers in one command, useful for cooking (Set a timer for 10 minutes and a timer for 5 minutes)
The REM is a fucking piece of shit. Couldn’t use it 3 times in perfect weather without getting caught in badly reported issues.
That’ll teach me to ever try to use mass transit designed to maximize profit.
SiriAI is not great but people are expecting so little from it I keep hearing people say it’s great.
Once you try to use it for real it’s clear it’s not “great”.
For example, I have a meeting today from noon to 1pm for which a Zoom link is not in the calendar invite.
SiriAI can find it in my email no problem. Tried to get it to add a new calendar invite with that link 5 different ways, it keeps trying to create an all-day meeting.
Maybe a 6th time would work, it’s pretty random.
Nice pawdidas
If I told you “you have to wear slacks”, what do you understand it to mean?
Pick the closest, and argue in comments.
@gruber@mastodon.social you got a quick typo in the blueball-dickers post "their actually" - I think you meant actual and autocorrect screwed you!

@thomasareed@infosec.exchange Yeah well it’s now slower at some of these basic things so I’m not super hyped on this. But I’d love to be able to set my dimmer and a color at the same time etc :/
At least spotlight and Mail search seems improved as a colateral benefit

@thomasareed@infosec.exchange I can’t even do the reminders because bilingual life. Or the text message because it won’t guess the right language for that thread.
This whole story about "LG dropping McAfee on Windows computers" - yeah I don't love it from LG, but the REAL story is "Microsoft allows peripherals to download and run whatever they want" which is a MUCH bigger deal.
