@Nonilex@masto.ai 1/ i was at one point a contract developer at BofA. despite the fact that i was no where near banking (either retail or wholesale), i was still required to take annual money laundering training - how to spot signs of it, and how to report it up the chain. i never knew what happened up the chain, but it was clear that it was taken very, very seriously.

@mvilain@sfba.social @LeviKornelsen@dice.camp @pluralistic@mamot.fr IBM is good with anything that allows them to charge large amounts for consulting services and support. like really, really, really large amounts.

@spaf I remember the experiments with refrigerants.

@BRicker@fosstodon.org @arstechnica@mastodon.social software contractors screwing up big government projects. who'd a thunk it.

@mattgrayyes@chaos.social @thibaultmol@en.osm.town we’ll know a lot more in an hour

@lauren@mastodon.laurenweinstein.org I sometimes wonder if certain places deliberately make their mobile websites a bit flakey to encourage app usage.

@petrikas@mastodon.art yet somehow if i want to teach an OS course (and i have), i end up teaching Un*x or Linux internals. it has to do with having full access to the source code or something.

@feditips@mstdn.social i like metatext better than the official app.

@Nonilex@masto.ai 2/ the one thing i'm quite sure about is that Capital One will have documented the hell out of this, and it will be very unfortunate for those involved if those records ever come out.

@petrikas@mastodon.art at least with a Mac I can drop down into terminal and treat it as Un*x. M$ makes claims about posix but I’ve never found it to be much use to me.
