Goddammit Thiago and my lad Joel both announcing they’re leaving . Bot unexpected but terrifically sad all the same.

Holy fuck, I just signed up to a site and it sent me a confirmation message WITH MY PASSWORD IN PLAIN TEXT.

Not an automatically generated one but the supposedly secure one I am meant to use to sign in!

I’m watching and reading EE Doc Smith’s Skylark at the same time. And the similarities are striking, even if the timescales are a less realistic in the century old books. @bookstodon

Another #breach of customer privacy because of poor customer data #security. Why is an energy company storing this information? There will be no accountability for this sort of nonsense from corporates until we start sending execs to gaol “Sumo said that the following customer information was compromised by the breach: names, addresses, dates of birth, phone numbers, credit scores, as well as either passport, Medicare, or driver’s licence details.” https://www.cyberdaily.au/security/10565-exclusive-australian-energy-internet-provider-sumo-confirms-customer-data-breach

Stuck my head into IT's office while I was making a coffee.

One of them is dancing like a lunatic to some raccoon-meme-song-thing.

The other is wielding one of those long armed BBQ lighters menacingly.

Another normal day at the day job. Never a dull moment.

@ajsadauskas @Thornburywitch @useless_modern_god Fair to say that RocknRoll descended from the Blues, and while the Stones always had Rhythm and Blues as their underpinning, they have been always a Rock n Roll band.
