Only in case the first Cybertruck breaks down they will have a second one to get home.

@SecureOwl I would have instantly thought this was a scam and paid zero attention to it.

Ok, first and foremost - an Amber alert, I hope it all works out and the kids are all safe. And I get the need to disseminate information as quickly as possible.

Secondly, I have many feelings about a government alert being broadcast to phones containing a bitly link to an X [dot] com post. The X post, is not accessible if you are not logged in to X/Twitter.

We desperately need to decouple our government departments and agencies from commercial entities when it comes to Crisis communications. This, in my opinion, is pretty unacceptable.

@briankrebs

Tell me about it.

I'm also pissed that I have to have an X account just to see what stupid shit my US representative Keith Self is saying.

@plinth Actually, Post Malone is part of a bootstrap paradox.

Much like the watch In the film Somewhere in Time, where a character receives a pocket watch from an elderly woman. He later travels back in time and gives the same watch to a younger version of the woman, creating a loop where the watch's origin is indeterminate.

Post in Post Malone is just a reference point.

Hey, folks. There's some lists going around of US Senator's official phone numbers. Some of it's like ... blurry screenshots of a PDF.

You can find the official information here: senate.gov/senators/

If you would prefer to find that information without going to a .gov site (and who can blame you), I've already done the annoying work for you. I'll reply to this post (Unlisted) with 20 senators at a time, sorted by state.

Call Chuck Schumer's Washington D.C. office and let him know exactly how you feel.
Phone: (202) 224-6542.

The office opens at 9 am.

Flood his office and make this hashtag trend.

@mshelton I feel like i've heard this news before.

Seems my forced choice to stop drinking (heart issues) worked out well with all the booze tariffs.

Whelp, they just took away the only advantage of flying Southwest.

@carnage4life

Yeah, the first thing I did was sell all my stock. It was very clear this was going to happen.

I just wish I knew how far it would drop; it will likely trend down until adults take over again.

@count3rmeasure

I think Anonymous Operation DreadNought was taking credit, not a 100% though.

But yes, I'm sure it would be very easy right now to hijack some Ukraine Infrastructure.

Thanks to everyone in the fediverse who has favorited, boosted, and reached out to me supportively over the injunction and takedown order that I wouldn't comply with (overview: infosec.exchange/@PogoWasRight)

Special thanks to @zackwhittaker for reporting about it all on #TechCrunch:

What's the most common feedback/comment I've received over the past month? "I used to like reading your stuff when you didn't write about politics all the time."

My response: Me too. But they've left me no choice at this point. If you think tech isn't politics and vice versa, you probably don't believe national security and cybersecurity are two sides of the same coin, either.

@dave_cochran, Have a Microsoft 365 Business Premium account and set up Intune. When you log in from the OOBE, it will be Windows 11 business, and the bloatware will be gone.
