sexual harassment, jaw clenching rage 

@Ratttz @IrisKalmia @KawaSeadrake welp, sounds like she learned something she came to find out 😐

folk music, trance/hypno 

@Soreth Everyone associated with Tricky Pixie seems to come out with those now and then.

There is a unique nonnegative integer equal to “the number of distinct humans on Earth, past or present, who have deliberately tasted the milk of a housecat” and I would be surprised if this integer was zero and yet highly distressed to contemplate its probable nonzero nature

I wish the megacorporation I work for had part of its division trying to solve aging and death working from the office I work in because frankly that’s a lot more important than updating a web browser and I’d rather work in that

Oh boy. github.com/signalapp/Signal-De

tl;dr Signal Desktop is based on Electron, which in turn is based on Chromium 58-59, and it seems to be affected by bugs that have been fixed in Chrome/Chromium 60-62.

Gotta love #Electron. As somebody said "now everyone is running 5 different instances of old insecure versions of the most scrutinized and attacked application on Earth."

#InfoSec

To the unknown stranger who graffitied “LOCK ->” on the inside of this bathroom door that looks like it should lock to the left instead of the right but doesn’t: I genuinely thank you

@anthracite My wristwatch helpfully suggests a picture of @Jacel making use of one of my Bad Dragon purchases as a background photo every time I pull up the companion app.

Admittedly, the photo is from an angle where you can only tell it’s Jacel if you specifically know the photo history or know Jacel very well from a specific camera angle.

@KawaSeadrake In my random “I search Google Scholar for stuff almost reflexively” habit I discovered that GRS has a 55%+ complication rate, a decent percentage of which are blood clots but by no means all. Your experience is *not* especially an outlier.

@KawaSeadrake re: malpractice - same spiel locationbot gives in reddit.com/r/legaladvice, which is “malpractice is difficult and fact specific”, but: you have no damages. You were given appropriate medical attention in a timely manner, preventing actual injury. “Could have been permanently harmed” isn’t grounds for a tort claim, only “was”. Your experience was terrible and not anything that should have happened, but within bounds of law. :(

If you misconfigure a server in such a way that it causes spanning tree conflicts that cascade across the network and take down corporate email, phones, our website and everything else in the same datacenter... once it's a learning experience. Twice and I'm disabling your sudo permissions...

Especially I have to drive to the datacenter to physically unplug the box because of your oops...

Started writing an angry hot take on tech politics, thought better of it, blocked a few people instead, Mastodon is like that

Don’t argue with strangers on the Internet, it’s not worth it

My “gentle reintroduction” to DOTA after several weeks of not playing apparently involves wining a thoroughly one-sided stomp as Underlord in Turbo Mode. Turbo Mode isn’t real DOTA but it gets rid of most of the queue anxiety that even Unranked produces.

Ah, my first “getting soaking wet because the forecast said the rain wouldn’t be until after the commute but it was wrong” of the year. Usually happens much sooner than May, honestly

math bafflement at work 

@salameleon The first two numbers may be “returned on time vs. returned late” whereas the third includes “silently fell into a void and was never heard from again”
