Got a very nice compliment from out LATAM guy today. Said I was very smart and nice to work with. I think he is just excited anyone gives a fuck about LATAM 😅 unfortunately I don't know if this precursor work will lead to any products to show for the effort

“There will be a very, very long tail, IoT devices, Docker containers, forgotten Linux machines, unmaintained CLI tools that shipped their own copy of the roots (which is common in some ecosystems, like Python). Also, Linux distributions are still rolling out updates, some of them are not ready yet, and then system administrators will need to apply them to a lot of machines.”

tl;dr one of the pillars of internet trust got pwn'd by poor administrion.

So “Do Your Ears Hang Low" is basically the KidzBop version of “Do Your Balls Hang Low"

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Do_Your_Ears_Hang_Low%3F#History

❞ Quoted postNick

@the_etrain Although I just looked up the origin of the song “Do your ears hang low” and it suggests that it’s a sanitised version of exactly this.

The earliest apparent report of "Do Your Balls Hang
Low?" is said to date from about 1900. The song is
known to have been sung by British soldiers on the
Western Front during the First World War.5. Lyn
MacDonald reports that, on one occasion in 1916,
General Douglas Haig heard it being sung by a
column of soldiers as they marched past on their
way to the Somme. He immediately called for his
horse and rode to the head of the column to
remonstrate with the battalion commander, only to
find the col

apparently, 33% of americans still approve of the job done by their dementia addled, diaper soiling, grifting pedophile of a cult leader

i'd bet if tested, that is also the percentage of americans who can't play tic-tac-toe to a draw

this is similar to what was reported in Hesse when Palantir was brought into police work. https://infosec.exchange/@flyingpenguin/117472679332454317

Sehenswerte Doku zur israelischen Protestbewegung gegen den rechtsextremen Staatsumbau Netanyahus, den Vorbildern Orban, PiS, Trump, Bolsonara etc folgend.
Die Erschütterung der Bewegung nach dem brutalen Angriff der Hamas, der vernichtende Krieg gegen Gaza, den Netanyahu nicht enden will, weil er ihm nützt.

Beeindruckende Menschen. Die weitermachen, nur jetzt anders als auf der Straße.
Und ja, ein Wechselbad der Gefühle...

ARTEIsrael - Welches Land wollen wir? - Die ganze Doku | ARTEMehr als drei Jahre begleitet "Israel – Welches Land wollen wir?" die Protestbewegung gegen Israels Regierung von Benjamin Netanjahu. Doch was als Massenprotest gegen die Justizreform beginnt, nimmt durch den 7. Oktober 2023 und den Krieg in Gaza eine Wendung und zwingt die Demonstrierenden, sich mit Krieg, persönlichen Verlusten und moralischen Dilemmata auseinanderzusetzen.

If you follow me, you have a sense of humour. If you're reading this, you're a reader. I’ve put this story online, free, gratis and for nothing, it's a twelve minute read. If you like it, maybe you’ll be curious enough to risk 99p for one of my short story collections. Maybe you’ll be smart enough to save some money by buying a compilation. Maybe you’ll be brave enough to buy my novel. Whatever happens, I hope you enjoy ‘Vincent'. http://aarondavid.co.uk/Vincent.html #freeread #shortstory #funny #pleaseboost
