@SteveBellovin @lauren The time to fill a gasoline vehicle with 250 mi of gas is of the order of 10-15 min. Along with time spent to get to the gas station and waiting in line get you to about 1/2 hour to get fuel for a decent range. Any combination of technologies that would get that to an EV owner who doesn't have a home charger would make the difference. 1/2
@arstechnica $16M is not even round-off error.
@mattblaze Not until we declare a WAR ON CYBERSECURTY. That will do it for sure.

@twrling But, more suicides was actually the desired intent

Cyber Security Awareness month is a ploy by infosec to send you more spam on how to avoid spam.

@dangillmor @pluralistic I’m sure you’ve heard this before, but get a Brother laser printer. B&W only. Toner cartridge lasts forever. Enshittification-free.

On top of all the cutting-edge #enshittification tactics @pluralistic lists here, HP also provides the hardware and data centres that power Israel's military and that allow it to enforce its apartheid state

@marinheiro @dangillmor @pluralistic it is not a printer. It is an ink vending machine. The fact that it happens to produce printed output is a marketing mistake.

@dangillmor @pluralistic My HP inkjet wouldn’t print in black & white when the yellow cartridge go low—but the black cartridge had plenty! I’ll never buy another HP printer of any kind.

Had an HP printer. It stopped printing black ink. Even if the cartridge was replaced. The print head is built in to the cartridge. HP refused to acknowledge the issue though there was plenty on the Internet about it.
I don't buy HP.

@dangillmor As someone who had to throw away a perfectly good printer because it suddenly decided that even HP ink was not really HP ink, I learnt this the hard way. Never again. @pluralistic

This meeting could have been an email. This email could have been a slack message. This slack message could have been an emoji. This emoji could have been a knowing look. This building could have been a grassy field, this job could have been a rounding error, this company could have been an abattoir. This economy could have been a rat in a cage pressing a button over and over.

A $621 million suit for ~$41,000 in "damages" for archiving thousands of musical recordings that would otherwise be lost to history.
This is nothing short of an effort to end the @internetarchive from major music labels and we should all be furious.
@realTuckFrumper Treating churches unlike any other business is a holdover from the time when the churches were the government.
