I need to enlist chatgpt to help create a conspiracy-bot to generate an overwhelming number of plausible but ridiculous conspiracy theories to keep the conspiracy-minded people tied up long enough to hopefully stave off Idiocracy from becoming real

@jerry Is that this “flood the zone with shit” thing?

Should work. It’s worked elsewhere.

It’s fascinating how some people effectively want to boil the internet back down to the AOL walled garden model where the entire internet exists within Facebook

@jerry Elmo has already said he wants X (currently vaguely remembered as Twitter), not the desktop X, to be exactly that - a one-stop shop and pervasive echo chamber for Republican-style free (free as in herpes) speech

Mike, you know -that- Mike.

@jerry

It’s the user base that creates the possibility.

Level 0 computer users struggle enough with just email and Facebook.

@jerry

Personally I would shout for joy if Facebook disappeared tomorrow.

I used to work for CompServe and then AOL so I'm not going to comment on that except to say that both offered a full Internet experience 😇🤷‍♂️

To be fair, cable management can be tricky enough with 1 monitor on 1 machine. You'll get there eventually! (:

@jerry I think that cable management is pretty darn good! ✅

It appears that mastodon.social has a bit of a problem with spammy signups right now. Please keep reporting them as you see them. We see the same thing here from time to time.

I don’t know if it’s weird or not, but I find myself referring to my son’s fiancé as one of my kids. Hopefully not too weird.

Let it be known the account @github has been claimed by the official organization GitHub

@jerry @github Not that I don't want them here but huh, I'd think Microsoft would make enough to be able to run their own instance to ensure an even more different handle to impersonate.

@github @jerry This is the time where having an intuitive way to verify an official account or having the big companies run their own instance on their domain would come handy.

Captain’s log: today is the first of 9 days off, assuming no #CISOThings happen. I have a bunch I want to get done today, but spent too long petting the dog’s belly this morning. I am growing convinced that pets exist to regulate our productivity as a species.

This message for everyone on the fediverse:

First, please ensure you go into your account settings and enable two/multi factor authentication. No, I mean do it right now. I’ll wait till you’re done.

Ok, thank you.

Now, if you are the admin of a mastodon instance, please go upgrade to 4.0.2 ASAP.

@jerry I don't see the option in #Tusky, I will go to the browser but it would be a good idea to get the apps to enforce it too.

Enabling #2FA was one of the things which I did soon after creating my account (while looking to see what configuration options were present). Just as well that I did.

Product idea: host IPS that triggers a solenoid that releases a guillotine that severs the network and power cables.

@jerry a whole new level of "upon noticing suspicious network activity and confirming it malicious internet connections were immediately cut"
