Where have I seen this before…

Oh, I thought they just said they did to get the train to stop faster.

Exactly

When “so” is in the starting two words of a Lemmy comment, there’s a 90% chance you’ve attracted a real genius that’s definitely not at all building straw men and is totally capable of following along things without further explanation.

I know when I’ve been bested.

The Godfather. The characters are empty and hard to attach to, the sound is terrible, there’s so much filler in the editting it becomes a chore as I watch yet another seemingly pointlessly extended shot or micro-scenes—Why?! What was the point?!—And yet I’m meant to feel something when this character I hardly know since about 10 mins ago gets killed?

If a film had an inflated ego…

I’m no militant pro, but you’re not really leaving yourself many options seizing a train. Something that has no escape options but forward and backward on track switches you don’t control, and it’s very easily encircled.

But wait, there’s more…

A senior police official said it “remains stuck just before a tunnel surrounded by mountains”

Yep, I’d be very scared to be a hostage as it’s quite clear my life is about the only option of escape they got.

Well it has to. The meeting was basically watching a long-term ally say they’d turn their back on any of its friends any chance they can get. If all the US can bring to the friend group is gym bro muscles but turns out is actually a petty coward, still asking for minerals, they won’t get invited to the cool stuff anymore.

Someone in DC still understands the content of Alliances 101 and has explained it.

That’s their current state because they’re taken advantage.of by corps. An option is to not be that by abandoning corps. The article is quite clear if you read it.

Meh. I switched out. Fucking happy now. Didn’t have it in me to ride out an abusive relationship in case it came good one day.

When my niece was born, she fell asleep to Slayer in the car. Now she’s 6 and know the Goreillaz catalogue better than I do, competes in Highland dancing, and is learning drums and violin.

“No, they’re working exactly as intended.”

To be honest, if you don’t want to be a slave to corps, don’t get into the tech industry. Unless someone out there has actually managed a unicorn experience and pathway and wants to share.

Wellp, time to get a new job.

I don’t think so. No one higher up quite understood the severity, even after the ransom event. I kind of established the impression that not-for-profit c-suites are full of the leftovers. If they were any good, they’d be elsewhere earning much more.

It’s important people read the articles on this one as it’s doing the rounds. It was his choice, but also it’s important to know why it was his choice. I think that part is a much more alarming thing to know and understand.

Last organisation I worked for—not for profit, health—had around 17,500 employees. One of the cybersecurity managers had every employees details and devices on a Google Sheet private account that anyone could see if they had the share URL.

Home addresses, phone numbers, MAC addresses, IMEIs, columns of PII…

I started getting all sorts of unsolicited contact and 2-step authentication alerts “randomly” after two months there and 8 months later rEvil successfully ransomwared for $3.4M.

So when I found this sheet and no one took it seriously, I declared an internal data breach, submitted it to the fed—as you legally must in this country—and shit hit the fan for that department.

That’s three paragraphs of “I took this serious.”

Don’t! It’s a scam. He never got the money. I felt so bad for him, I gave him an extra $1K.
