Yay

Now what was I going to make …last Tuesday?

I found this on skeptics stack exchange. Supposedly, it’s a hoax/urban legend that goes back way before the internet. (The entire stack exchange page on this topic is fun to read, btw)

The quote originally came from Prof. George T.W. Patrick of University of Iowa, who translated an ancient stone tablet into modern English and published in “Popular Science Monthly”, May 1913. The full text of the original can be found online at archive.org: https://archive.org/details/popularsciencemo82newy, page 493.

Another poster makes note of finding this in the following documents from the 1920s.

A November 1922 State of Connecticut Public Document 13: Report of the State Librarian (p 93)

A 1923/1924 book Nineteenth century evolution and after; a study of personal forces affecting the social process, in the light of the life-sciences and religion, by Marshall Dawson, which contains the quote (p 76)

There is some debate about whether Asyrria existed in 2800 B.C. (for example, a poorly cited Wikipedia entry suggests it was formed when the Akkadian Empire fell circa 2080 BC, while also suggesting it was a part of the earlier Akkadian Empire.)

No one will dig up our Lemmy posts in 1000s of years. :(

Don’t even get me started on finding decent copper.

This feels very “just found out about politics and damn” tbh.

Ok.

I think this would be of value for sharing with people that aren’t aware (my kid when she was younger).

Or is there a better resource to do this?

This is all I’ve run across on reverse engineering, so far but it is quite interesting.

Fortunately they can write up 3 Rx and then send to the pharmacy every month until my next appt.

Of course my pharmacy can’t get the stuff due to the shortage so I have been without for 2wks now. It’s a process to have the Rx sent over to a different pharmacy. Easy for someone normal. But ADHD without meds? Yeah.

Well maybe they aren’t experienced info security professionals :)

Idk what you’re into buddy

but I like it.

Inflation.

Work is stupid. We should be working 20 hours weeks and fucking around the rest of the time. Everyone would be so much happier.

Or maybe everyone with ADHD (and, this, 80 gagillion hobbies)

Hm. I have one vacation day left after being sick. Won’t get more until next week. Work 10 hour days 4 days a week and the too exhausted to relax most of the remaining 3.

What if… Hear me out… What if I were to be, idk, run over by a bus and hospitalized for a month? /s

🧠 – haha get fukt

I get where you’re coming from but is he managing his risk or not?

Does he understand the risk? If yes, good. No? Bad.

Is he ignoring the risk? If yes, bad. No? Good.

Is he weighing the risks against the benefits he receives of using these apps and taking appropriate steps to mitigate those risks? If yes, then good. No? Bad.

Cyber security isn’t “lock everything down at all costs”. Otherwise I would insist you throw your phone in an incinerator along with all your computers, live in a bunker reinforced against nuclear attack with a small army to guard you, never leave it, never talk to anyone… Etc.

It is enabling one to achieve their goals with a tolerable amount of risk. That level of tolerable risk is different for everyone.

What are you trying to achieve?

I used to, once… Ah well, back to the pit of despair, see ya!

THIS IS THE WAY… ?

oops

It’s kind of horrifying nobody thought that through. What else did they fail to think about?

Totally agree. Have been there and done that quite a few times too.
