MyGov email me to let me know I'll need to change my password next time I log in. “That's not how security works but sure.” Your password can not exceed 64 characters “You're storing passwords in plain text, aren't you?” Your password can only contain a subset of special characters “You're not confident you are escaping SQL queries correctly, are you?”

If you’re running a version of WordPress affected by wp2shell (6.9 or 7.0) and are waiting until Monday to update, please don’t. Scripts are doing the rounds to exploit the issue. If you have auto-updates enabled and are waiting until Monday to make sure they have successfully updated, please check now.  This is one of those issues in which you need to act NOW or you’re leaving it too late.  See the WordPress 7.0.2 announcement post for more details.  https://wordpress.org/news/2026/07/wordpress-7-0-2-release/

“AI generated event” Look, there’s an ics file attached to the email. AI does not and should not be involved. A lot of companies need to get over their AI everything obsession and remember that if statements exist.

@joannaholman@aus.social My partner has been invested for many, many years too. He and his Eurovision buddies are so disappointed too, so I understand how you feel.

@philnash ...but don't tell anyone because if everyone starts doing it I'm screwed.

@Meyerweb@mastodon.social Old man listens to Cake. (Me. I am the old man in this scenario.)

@cliener@mastodon.social Peggy is of the view that when I say “come on, personal space” I actually want her to head but me in the chin again.
