Man, did I have a blast at @bsidesatl. First off, I had a great showing for my talk on Neurodiversity in Security. Slide, bibilography, and my research has been posted on the BSides Atlanta discord […] [Original post on infosec.exchange]

Its memeday. Take a meme, share a #meme. #AltText or thus be masto-judged.

A picture of a frog with a studded collar, dark eyeliner and a nose ring. Yellow background. Text on the background says, "I'm not like other teens. I'm in my 40s.

Image of a classical painting of a woman laying in bed is a very relaxed pose on a bed. There is text above it that says, "Multislacking: Trying not to do several things at once."

White paper with hand written text in blue ink. Says: "Don't use AI to write. Use childhood trauma. Like a real poet."

Four panel cartoon with a yellow background. The first panel has a large stick figure sitting on the ground. A much smaller stick figure is hugging his waist and says, "I love you, multi billion dollar company." There are red heart being emitted. Panel 2 the large stick figure grabs the small one. Panel 3 shows the big one pull apart the small one. Red blood is seen in the big stick figure's mouth. Panel 4 the big one throws the broken corpse away. There is visible red blood on their mouth.

My teenage son has been taking classes to learn how to fight... medieval style. He's been attending classes at a local #HEMA (Historical European Martial Arts) Academy. Its pretty cool and so much more involved than the LARPing I was doing as a kid. And […] [Original post on infosec.exchange]

Can you tell which one of my kids is Autistic? We're at a conference and he started collecting all the little candy bowls so that he could organize them. He's 20. I love my neurospicy family.

@north I got the kind that you have to semipermanently install. My youngest are 15 now... I never did finish painting that hole in the wall once we took it down. But it kept 8 kids from falling down the stairs.

Weird crap my wife, @Leahgashe buys on the internet. So if anyone needs a Reamer for Jew... You know who to call... I'll remove your burrs and smooth your edges. Real cheap.

OMG, I'm having a laugh with Opus 4.8. They trained it to be more honest, but now it's like Jim Carrey in Liar Liar. Earlier it was like "I accidentally deleted all the work I just did, but it's okay - I fixed it." And now it's admitting every little mistake it makes. It's hilarious.

I just wrote a prompt that I wrote a batch file for ... 33 years ago. "Run a full sweep hardware test. Your tool list is ~/tools/list.md" Here's the book I used back then to create my magic floppy. Now I made a magic USB stick with #Ubuntu and #Codex

I think my AI just called me a smart monkey.

A screenhot from an LLM chat that reads,
Those don't require any Al at all, which is kind of beautiful in a "still using tools like a civilized primate” way.

Awww, #Claude, why you gotta do me this way! 14 hrs?!?! What am I supposed to do... sleep?! Funny enough, we just finished coding my project and now I'm all ready for code review and testing.

Found this meme as I took a second gumm... I meant doing self care.

White border meme format. The picture is Marge Simpson sitting in a bubble bath with drinks and desserts. The text panel say, "When you're not sure if you're doing self care or just allowing yourself to justify indulgent and ultimately unhealthy coping mechanisms"

I listen to several things in Acquired Tastes, and occasionally dip into Dedicated Ears Only. But now, I'm curious about the genres in the Abyss of Degeneration.

I am flummoxed at this sign next to a parking lot for a walking trail. I thought this could be just superfluous quotes, but... it's a parking lot? Then I just thought, do they mean no making out after dark? #scandlous

Oh man, so I'm looking to relax and put on some #StarTrek. Next up in the queue is #STNG S7E18, "Eye of the Beholder", and WHAM deep talk about #suicide . Listening to Data relate his experience on suicidal thought... Gut punch.
