@briankrebs@infosec.exchange ideally it could lead to everyone making their sites more efficient 🤔

@SteveBellovin@infosec.exchange @ktoddbrown@social.coop @mattblaze@federate.social by the time I got into xerox research, management’s attitude was, “we invented the future and gave it away— so we’re not going to do that again” 🤦

@chris@mstdn.chrisalemany.ca the contrast with the old Ford Pinto case, where occupant deaths were a financial trade off, is striking.

@kevlin@mastodon.social reminds me of my experience that there’s no such thing as a cheap plumber, only the plumber you pay before you pay the expensive one.

@th@social.v.st @karl@infosec.exchange satire is dead (example #7372726382927)

@kevlin @ACCU “Demagnetised moral compasses are surprisingly common in this space.”

@n1vux@mastodon.radio @marick@mstdn.social @MonaApp@mastodon.social time to re-run the laugh-ins. It was such a strong cast.

@mfowler one of the great things about the movie is how everything is falling to bits, unlike conventional space operas

@claus my thought too https://mastodonapp.uk/@sf105/116296935317944020

@dymaxion@infosec.exchange @vruba@everything.happens.horse cc @marick@mstdn.social Thought you might appreciate this.

@jlink@det.social it took me a while you weren’t referring to “The Third Policeman” by Flann OBrian. Looks like I have some reading to do.

@kevlin@mastodon.social the GDS did a lot of good work on making sure their systems are as accessible as possible. They have a story somewhere about how a homeless teenager managed access with a discarded PlayStation.

@marick@mstdn.social @logosity@discuss.systems which is amazing considering it was a student film with no budget at all.

@mikebroberts@hachyderm.io there’s something about shows made before the world turned digital that later shows, no matter how accurate, don’t catch. The seediness of the period?

@kevlin best thing to do is to let them accumulate unread to support the publishing industry.

@jbrains send me a copy?

@mfowler if you’re citing Dark Star (a wonderful film) do you remember the bomb’s final decision? Avoiding spoilers here.

@logosity@discuss.systems @marick@mstdn.social also Dark Star remains a classic.

@mikebroberts@hachyderm.io currently working through the old leCarré dramatizations from the 70s with Alec Guinness on the BBC. Extremely slow but riveting. Also, everyone smokes all the time.

@mikebroberts@hachyderm.io the iPlayer is also showing smiley’s people. Tremendous production. And, interestingly, so much slower than modern dramas. I also noticed how close everything looks on a big screen because it was filmed for smaller CRT TVs. And everyone smokes.

@mikebroberts@hachyderm.io I cannot emphasise strongly enough, go see Innocence at the Met

@sarahtaber@mastodon.online Empire, 16 Sunsets, FT Hot Money.

@CountBinface@mastodon.world “banning speakerphones on public transport”. Very tempting.

@amydiehl@mstdn.social once had a house guest who did that. He has never been invited back.
