IT security in the 90’s

Not sure if it’s the best place, but I guarantee it’s fascinating : a thread by a guy who loves making… bad keyboards. https://bsky.app/profile/foone.bsky.social/post/3lyvontitm22y
Probably more a psychiatric experience than a technological one, but still.

So people are using teh bluskie now, are they?

eWildcat

I do, but many people still use ~~Twitter~~ X.
I stopped using my X account when how much Musk distorts how it works every day on a whim became clear. It got to the point that it was impossible to ignore, even if, as I did, you didn’t take part in the hellbound part of it.

EDIT : Same for Facebook, by the way. What used to be a very useful tool to keep in touch with friends became a quagmire years ago.

oyaji

I don’t know why.

Why did you and so many others ever open an account on Twatler in the fist place?

eWildcat

I used it mainly to get professional news, and share ideas or experiences with people interested in my professional domain (i.e. local administration), and I followed some accounts dealing with aviation and military matters. It was a nice tool to do that.

That was meant for Oyaji, right?

oyaji

Because you could get all the information you wanted in a 128-maximum character format?

Seems to me that you must be easily satisfied, but I guess you were in good company.

Damn, I thought nobody could identify me with that big bear head.

That sucks you gave up. I have been looking for a good local administration twitter for years.

eWildcat

Well, then I’m very glad to tell you the account still exists, so you’ll be able to read plenty of very interesting threads about French local administration : https://x.com/EutoposW/status/1117748907910619136

I’m sure you’ll immensely enjoy yourself !
Don’t thank me. I live to serve.

Small town administration has given you a big ego?

Cannibal!

Absolutely not a cannibal!

A wily predator, rather. Indeed.

Nope, I have to thank Nature for it.

Trump will chicken out and exempt Chinese workers out of this, but it still looks pretty awesome for Europe.

Tigger supports a Trump move!!! #MSorSGA!!!
