Musk is creeping into super-villan territory.

We call my son and daughter by shortened versions of their first names. Both are in High School in OCPS. Today they brought home the forms for us to sign to allow them to go by those shortened names in school. I was shocked.

Perhaps Ronald DeSantis should be forced to get permission from his family inorder to continue to be called Ron.

Same here. He came to my company and did a good security presentation with an emphasis on how easy it is to fool people. He gave out business cards that were a miniature lock picking set.

That’s the beauty of a concept like “wokeness.” It means whatever they want it to mean.

For work and general browsing, I prefer a laptop. But for gaming, I definitely prefer a beefy desktop.

Bitwarden is very good, but if you are already comfortable with 1Password I don’t think it is worth the switch. A lot of people (myself included) just recently switched from LastPass to Bitwarden due to LPs issues and breaches. But 1Password is still very solid and highly recommended.

Since I’m lucky enough to still have a phone with a headphone jack, I mostly listen with my KZ ZSN in ear monitors. Really good sound for the price.

Mostly rock. Specifically love 80s hair metal and hard rock, and prog rock/metal. Lately I’ve had Sleep Token albums on constant rotation.

Communities usually named 195 or 196 have a rule that if you go there you have to post something. So people will post something and title it “Rule.” And it leads to a bunch of low effort crap posts.

Just block any 195 and 196 communites to save your feed from getting overwhelmed with bad posts.

In our case, we both grew up in a conservative state with conservative parents. But over time, I drifted away from it (and it drifted in crazy land). However she still hangs on. She’s come around on a few things. She often falls into the false equivalence mindset that both sides are just as bad. And whenever she starts to bring up any anti-vax or Joe Rogan BS, I try to stomp on that real quick. But I know she will always vote for anyone with an R by their name when it comes down to it.

Maybe you have the same problem I have: my wife is still a republican. When that kind of stuff shows up, I know she has been watching it on the family PC. She’s not that tech savvy, so I usually go in later and block or limit some of it. It’s a pain to fight the algorithms.
