I'm a freak hybrid of Software Dev and Cybersecurity

I can't wait to exit the tech career field

I love film photography, and I especially have a passion for darkroom printing. I collect and print antique negatives.

I love God and I want to treat people with the love and compassion that Christ showed us.

@selfsame wouldn't that just be a catfishing sim?

I think you're right. I think it's too late for hacktivism. We are past that now.

Now it's time for resistance.

@vfrmedia @requiem I think that's a fair assessment of a particular type of group from that era. Those groups (like anonymous) were low effort/talent script kiddies with 4chan connections.

But I believe there were other, smaller groups (some going all the way back to the 90's) of talented passionate people who are willing to break laws to fight for people.

Not sure about that, having been in the industry, and with a gov entity no less, it seems that a lot of gov orgs have terrible sec.

Sure, places like the pentagon etc are tough, but there are tons of other small but crucial departments with vulns galore.

Admittedly this is anecdotal so I could be totally wrong.

Maybe so, but I don't wonder if perhaps we all "grew up" and got corporate jobs.

I wonder if many just settled for the status quo.

There was some kind of fire that seems to have been suffocated.

Where the FUCK did all the hacktavists go? I seriously can't figure out why there's not more cyber push back.

If there were ever a time when it's moral to break the law it's now.

Why don't I see headlines about ICE being breached, or white house data leaked? Why aren't cronies like Musk and Banon being targeted?

The military is deployed in our streets, politicians are being arrested and shot.

What are we all waiting for?

@Taweret

Oh man I've actually seen this one before. It's ripe for riffing that's for sure!

@da_667 heck yeah! I started a garden this year with several pepper varieties and I've harvested about 6 small ones so far.

It's delicious and satisfying.

Hmmm... Surely when my kid plays Kerbal Space Program that counts as educational hours right?

My mother in law is very kind but sometimes a bit awkward 😂

Mother in law: Happy Fathers Day
Me: thanks
Mother in law: You're a really good daddy

Growing up my relationship with my dad sucked. At the age of 20 I couldn't imagine a world where I would ever want to be around him.

But people can change. He's a totally different man. He's caring and compassionate, he treats me with respect, and he opens up to me about what's going on in my life.

I can't express how grateful I am to have him in my life now.

Don't ever assume that it's too late to repair a relationship, you might be surprised.

@selfsame Also do those parents have lives outside of their kids!?!?

Seems like they think their sole responsibility in life is to keep those damn kids entertained every second of the day.

Can confirm this is real bipolar energy right here.

@chrisstoecker

What pissed me off the most was the way they spun that murder with a headline like

"Democrat who voted to repeal benefits for illegal aliens murdered"

Then mentioned that the murderer had No kings flyers in their car, to imply the violence came from the left.

That insanely misleading. It was a large spending bill with that provision, and the lawmaker said she didn't like it but the bill had to pass.

It's a dishonor that lawmaker who died.
