Somebody else's #guitar#pedal on loan.
I want one. The Jag sounds/feels like it's alive through this thing. I hear some people don't like these? #fuzz#muff
@eyesquash@flockofnazguls Guitar tone is so subjective. Especially in the distortion family, there will always be people who dislike a particular pedal. That’s fine. If you find your bliss, you won.
The company that's contracted to do security education has these little multiple choice tests, and it annoys me that they are confusing on purpose ... or they require you to listen to the wording of their videos carefully. eg:
Which URL is suspicious?
a. http : //www.gmail.com
b. https : //www.google.com/email
Um. The domain is valid for both. https is nice, but the later is a google 404... the former will re-load as https:
They wanted you to say the second one? Bad question.
@futurebird Now I’m curious whether retention of security awareness material among an office population is better with text or video. Just this morning a mentee was asking me about research topics for tieir masters program so your timing is excellent!
In general, the field for awareness training is pretty bleak. There’s a lot more bad than good.
@girlonthenet One thing to keep in mind is companies like Patreon seldom spend enough money on moderation teams. Teams are too small for the workload, not trained well enough to be consistent, and not paid enough for senior people to want to stay. Many teams rely too heavily on automation. One industry analyst found Facebook mods get fewer than ten seconds per item to review. At that pace, nuanced issues will often be missed and anything that even hints of a violation is treated like one.
If the reason The Times covers Biden with a scalpel and Trump with a feather duster were because Biden won’t do an interview, that would be nice. The truth is they also try this. Gore, Clinton, now Biden. And it’s because they sincerely think their job to make every election look like a coin flip. https://www.patreon.com/posts/two-of-greatest-100346837
@mcc@lolgop What’s frustrating is some of their reporters like Maggie Haberman have been doing amazing work but the NYT’s overall editorial framing is so damn timid and both-sidesy.
Someone on Masto put it really well: If one side says it’s raining and the other says it’s not. Your job as a journalist is not to repeat both statements, it’s to look out the window and see who is right.
@historyofpunkrock I’m always struck by how clean cut they looked. It’s hard to imagine those young men in collared shirts producing Disorder or Shadowplay.
Just a privacy reminder: if you're going to post a picture of your mail, make sure to blur or remove any barcodes on that mail. Every piece of USPS mail has a bar code with your full address on there. Zip Code + 4 extension (which is your neighborhood) + house # (which translates to your exact house). #privacy#mail#postage
@ai6yr The specificity of the +4 varies widely. Yes, sometimes it is an entire neighborhood. In other cases it is a single recipient. One can even apply to get a distinct +4 code.
