I'm "paranoid" and "alarmist" for things like refusing to sign in to windows with a Microsoft account over privacy and control concerns, but then when this kind of shit happens my critics always conveniently forget that I told them so: https://www.windowslatest.com/2026/07/10/you-cant-fully-disable-microsofts-gdid-windows-11-tracker-but-these-settings-limit-what-it-captures/
Microsoft admits Windows 11 has a GDID tracker with no off switch, first documented publicly in an FBI hacker complaint

Microsoft admits Windows 11 has a GDID tracker with no off switch, first documented publicly in an FBI hacker complaint

GDID is the persistent Windows ID that helped FBI trace a Scattered Spider hacker despite VPNs. Here's how it works and how to limit it.

oh my god officially the weirdest user workflow discovered today... someone was using the Microsoft Outlook Saved Signature Templates for rich text document storage. So to get the contents of their documents they had to open outlook, go to file>options>mail>signatures, scroll through a huge list of saved signatures, find one, click drag select all the text, copy it, click cancel twice, then they could paste it somewhere to edit or share it.

My life is basically this comic except I have a stack of like 30 hobbies stuffed precariously into a spring compressor trying to wedge it in an opening while the other blocks are already packed in so tightly some are falling out onto the floor.

Unsolicited and totally non-professional financial advice: There's an ETF (Exchange Traded Fund) called CLIM -- Climate Global Climate Resilient REIT Index (REIT = Real Estate Investment Trust) which specifically invests in land that is predicted to increase rather than decrease in value due to climate change. It is one of the only land related ETFs which is consistently gaining in value now as other real estate trusts plummet.

I feel like I've gotten less interaction lately though I can't tell if it's just I'm not posting enough interesting shit anymore or I'm just too busy to post or notice at all, or other people are too busy or less active on fedi... all seem valid reasons. I mostly just hope it's not a loss of trust, confidence, or good will brought on by something stupid I've said or done.

@CordiallyChloe@tech.lgbt @alice@lgbtqia.space Frequently when someone tries to interject with 'not all men' the appropriate response seems to be to challenge them to show what it is they are doing to correct things, and whether its enough, or if they could be doing more. How they respond to that may tell you all you really need to know about them.

@quinn@social.circl.lu MLs perform trained patterns in pursuit of a defined objective. The "emergent capability" thing is a fucking lie. Anything it does is something it was trained to do, whether they sterilized their training data enough to know it or not. Anything it does is in pursuit of an objective they define, whether they know what they're defining for it or not. The problem with fuzzy inference engines is they *can't* truly know either, so the results get embellished and attributed to the model.

Anyone else just never write down or save any personal friends' addresses anywhere despite having a shit memory for that because it seems like a violation of privacy or poor opsec and you can just always ask someone for it again later?

MiniDisc were always 2trendy4me. I was a slow adopter of cassette optical formats. To me it always seemed like too much extraneous material when the whole cool thing about CDs/DVDs was that they were just a bare data plate you stuck in a reader, absolutely minimal. Elegant.

@QasimRashid@mastodon.social There is an extremely strong possibility he is dead and they're just delaying announcing it publicly until after we pass the Aug 2 deadline for his premature departure to trigger a special election in which a trump opponent would then have a good chance of winning by running as an independent against the Republican nominee. The spirit of Mitch and his cronies out to ratfuck American democracy one last time.

@peter@thepit.social there are two reasons I can think of for this to be a legitimate solution (albeit not an efficient one): some compound polymorphs may only form or stabilize in zero-G, and cases where contamination risk is extreme.

@beeps@social.beeps.gay heat stroke victims may be confused or incapable of seeking or reaching help, so be prepared to render first aid and find help for them. Get them to shelter or shade, lie them down in a cool / low a place as possible (hot air rises) and help them hydrate. A cold bath or shower can help lower core temp quickly. Keep their skin wet and prioritize cooling their head, neck, armpits, and groin with water, ice, cold packs, damp towels, anything available.

@0x00string@infosec.exchange I was bummed that the brokers declined to lend me SPCX when I bid on a short position at 170 about a month ago. I would have made bank on that one. It's at 115 now after hitting a floor of 110, with more room to fall.

Putting my regularly scheduled yak shaving on hold while I fabricate and hone a set of surgical tweezers out of an electronics bench pair to remove a particularly deep wood splinter from the tip of my thumb... for what it's worth that side project may have been completed in a new record short time for me.
