Constant acceleration at 9.8m/s^2 in a given direction will bring you close to the speed of light eventually, but yeah, I’m also not super sure how this math checks out

Hey. Don’t feel bad about leaving. You’ve done what you could and then did what you needed to in order to keep yourself safe. If what you say is true you’ve done an order of magnitude more work towards a better world than the majority of people.

I think we need good people left in this country to have a chance to try and turn things around, but I’ll never be upset with someone who left for their own good. There’s enough of us that can’t leave, or won’t leave, that we’ll never become irrelevant here. The fight will go on until death do us part, for better or for worse.

You better believe though if the US comes for Greenland I’m going to do everything I can to help my new neighbors

Do it, and don’t feel bad about it. If the US comes for Greenland I’m on the side of Greenland. Same for Canada, same for Mexico, same for anyone else whose sovereign borders are being threatened. Know that no matter what happens you still have friends here on the inside.

Besides which, law enforcement is not legally justified in shooting you damn near no matter what you do. A cop is not a court of law. A cop is not a jury and judge. A cop is not an executioner. Their legal jurisdiction extends to getting you in front of a courtroom and nothing else.

“I like taking the guns early, like in this crazy man’s case that just took place in Florida … to go to court would have taken a long time,” Trump said at a meeting with lawmakers on school safety and gun violence.

I, for one, specifically go out of my way to not purchase things that have been advertised to me, but I also only see about one ad per year on average, because ads are a known malware vector and not blocking ads is just bad security hygiene. Not having to constantly be force-fed capitalism slop is just a nice side benefit.

But yeah, my particular 'tism mostly manifests as spite in this case, and from what I’ve heard tell from other Lemmings I’m in pretty good company in that regard with this group. We just need to figure out how to export that spite to the common man.

Plagiarism as well as rampant nazi iconography in his videos.

I didn’t believe it at first because I had watched a bunch of his videos and didn’t really get that impression. But the dog whistles were just well hidden. It’s actually really bad.

Honestly you can get by even without that so long as you can read. Everyone knows at least one IT guy that doesn’t talk to anyone, just emerges from his server closet/dungeon to solve your problem and disappear silently back into the darkness like some breed of Batman.

It’s 2026 you never know what the fuck is about to happen out here

“Odd anomaly” you say. Hm. It’s Microsoft, so I’m immediately wondering if it’s been Slopified.

Let’s check the article.

Output from the terminal command cURL shows that devices inside Azure and other Microsoft networks have been routing some traffic to subdomains of sei.co.jp, a domain belonging to Sumitomo Electric.

Well that’s a strange error. One that a human probably wouldn’t be making by accident.

The new JSON response suggested that, as of Monday morning, Microsoft hadn’t fixed the endpoint routing traffic to the Sumitomo Electric servers. Instead, the JSON response no longer occurs. […] “It looks like they may have outright removed the endpoint that validates the email, because I’m seeing ‘not found’ errors,” said Dan Tentler, founder of Phobos Group. As denoted by ENOTFOUND, the error “suggests that [Microsoft admins] just ripped out whatever this thing was.”

Oh, so also, nobody knows what the problem really is or how to fix it properly. Hmmmmmm.

It’s unclear how Sumitomo Electric’s domain would have found itself part of this mess. Microsoft last year said the Japanese company’s parent company, Sumitomo Corp., was deploying Microsoft 365 Copilot, but that still doesn’t explain why a subsidiary’s domain was added to Microsoft’s network configuration.

Ah. Yep, there it is. Always the thing you most expect, innit?

If this somehow isn’t Copilot ripping open a massive, hemhorraghing security hole, then it’s someone inside Microsoft doing this on purpose.

“The result is that anyone who tries to set up an Outlook account on an example.com domain might accidentally send test credentials to those sei.co.jp subdomains.”

I.e. Any inexperienced sysadmin trying to set up a new account may very well accidentally leak their credentials to a (previously) unknown third party via Microsoft’s own setup tools.

Regardless which motivation led to this it is yet further proof that Microsoft cannot be trusted with anything.

Takes 30 seconds to start loading a video nowadays but yeah I haven’t watched a YouTube ad in probably 8 years

I like to imagine this is a direct follow up to this older one:

Stop right there, criminal scum! You’ve violated the law!

I got mine at 24.

My parents flat refused to allow me to get a driver’s license, I assume because it would have given me the freedom to leave their house under my own power. I didn’t end up getting one until after I went to and came back from college.

I learned from a driving school, since my parents seemed uninterested in teaching me.

The experience of trying to hold a job or get to and from class between the ages of 18-24 is one of the primary experiences driving me to the idea that American public transportation sucks absolute asshole and desperately needs improvement. It used to take me two and a half hours to get to work. My work was a 15 minute drive from my house, but since my wonderful father refused to drive me to and from work, I would have to take a bus all the way across town to the central station and then hop another bus to take me all the way back across town to damn near the same place I got picked up at.

Is the single red LED solid, or is it flashing Morse for “please kill me”?

Would you say the same about all Russians? That all Russians are the enemy and deserve death because their leader Putin is a warmonger?

Yeah definitely this. This guy is a stick of lit dynamite. You need to document everything he’s ever said or done and drop it all in a fat stack on the bosses’ desks. Do it before he has a chance to let GPT write a similar stack about you.

You let this guy cook, and best case, you’re getting a severe grilling from the bosses later about why didn’t you stop him from being a dumbass if you knew his dumbassery was about to take out your entire business.

Honestly, Chad move.

“Our story begins here.” ends the book

Reminds me of a joke I heard a few years ago.

The “Tech Enthusiast” : My whole home is rigged up with smart systems! I can control my AC and my lights from my phone from 1,000 miles away!

The Tech Engineer : the most recent piece of equipment I own in my home is a printer from 2003 and I keep a loaded gun next to it in case it makes a noise I don’t recognize.

Han Solo is supposed to be a scoundrel, he’s a damn smuggler. The bar they meet him in is described as “a wretched hive of scum and villainy”.

George Lucas has an incredible talent for fucking up the intent of the author in a story that HE’S THE AUTHOR OF, it would be very funny if it weren’t so annoying.
