This evenings rabbit hole; listening to covers of Twisted Sisters “Burn In Hell” on YT.
A song I truly love for many reasons.

Unsurprisingly, it’s REALLY hard for bands to match the band that wrote and performed it. Although there were some very impressive SOLO video versions done.
Which …🫡

What copilot recall will do is force companies to disallow any remote access with a personal Windows computer unless NAC detection can include recall.

@bynkii Crap, that just sunk in.
Yeah, you can kiss off connecting from your personal computer to a terminal server or remote app unless you have that verifiably turned off on your personal machine.

You know, I'm a woman of contradictions.

I have breasts all of my own. I see them every morning when I dress for the day and every night when I get ready for bed.

And yet... whenever I see a pic with someone's breasts plainly, mostly visible, I'm like, "Ack! No! Scroll, scroll, scroll!"

It's weirdly embarrassing.

@timberwraith Heavens, most things that we as human beings have are not necessarily rational, they just are.

That’s the interesting part, of course, figuring out why, sometimes.

Say what you will about Apple1️⃣, but one of the things I absolutely love about setting up a Mac system is that it asks you ONCE after creating a new account if you want to sign into iCloud.

If you say no? It says “are you sure?”

AND YOU NEVER HEAR ABOUT IT AGAIN.

From @SimonPegg but over on BlueSky:
Nigel Farage getting milkshaked (i’m hearing reports that it’s banana)

picture of Nigel Farage being splattered with a milkshake thrown by a young blonde woman in a crowd, the milkshake is gracefully in flight, curving toward his face She looks happy
picture of Nigel Farage being splattered with a milkshake thrown by a young blonde woman in a crowd, the milkshake is now splattering everywhere. Impact!

@latelesley @SimonPegg Yeah, I don’t know. I’m seeing people on BlueSky saying they’re hearing it was staged from Twitter, I’m seeing people on Twitter saying they’re hearing it was staged from BlueSky…they arrested two people so I guess we’ll find out pretty damn quick.

Alternately everyone could just start throwing milkshakes at the Farage whenever he shows his face, and then we’ll find out. 😂

@latelesley @SimonPegg And now we have someone who bothered to put in a little legwork so to speak:

“1/ About that theory that the Clacton incident was staged ; it's not.

The allegation is that the throwee is the gf of reform's press officer ; Emily Hewertson.

Why do i say its not her? Well, here's why.

At brexitcentral, her author bio states she is 19 (for an articles dated may 2019. ...”

What I want to see from WWDC '24: Apple unveils a replacement for Stage Manager in iOS 18.

The new Strange Manager rotates your desktop through a non-euclidean space warped by blasphemous geometries; eldritch transition effects include Transform into Ravens and Fly Away, Eaten by Shoggoths, Tentacles, and The Horror, The Horror.

I've got an #iPad / #OSINT puzzle, and I could use any suggestions anybody has to throw out there.
Back in 2022 in the middle of the pandemic a medical provider in NYC sent my uncle an iPad to attend a virtual appointment on.
I'm trying to figure out how to return it to them, or barring that, to factory reset it so that it can be returned to service as a useful device rather than a nearly brand-new iPad needing to be recycled.
This has proven to be... difficult.

Dear “white” Europeans, and especially men.
A quick Public Service Announcement:

This is a running fucking joke about mastodon:

“We don’t have racism here in (country with large known issues with racism)!”

Just fukkin’ stop.

if it doesn’t apply to you, why do you feel the need to say anything?

Real for real, all you do is show your own ass.

Now, this post below is being taken care of very handily in the comments so this is just for illustration.

Don’t be this guy.

Via @garius over on Bluesky:

“In 1994 the Pet Shop Boys were invited to perform 'Go West' at the Brit Awards.”

“They agreed and brought with them 3 separate choirs of miners. Some of those miners had marched with the gay and lesbian members of LGSM in the 1980s. It is one of the great, near-lost music moments”

Via @garius over on Bluesky:

“I got to speak to some of those old miners who were legit in tears about how being on that stage meant friends told them they were gay. And how it changed their worldview. I cried writing it, too.”

“Anyway.”

“This mini-thread brought to you because I saw @scalzi talking about how much he loved the Pet Shop Boys version of 'Go West' earlier.” (3/4)

@Wraithe@mastodon.social avatar

Via @garius over on Bluesky:

“Other members of the colliery choirs said that they didn't know who the Pet Shop Boys were when they performed, but after they had relatives and friends (and remember these guys were from small-town Wales and England) come out to them, and say seeing them on that stage meant the trusted them.”

“I know this, because in the early 2000s I wrote a piece for a magazine on it. Now sadly lost to time.” (2/4)

“And it reminded me of a forgotten time when that version of the song turned out to really, really matter to a bunch of people who never expected it to.”

Guess it's time to post more on Mastodon. Bluesky's decided doxxing is cool. I have PTSD about that after a few run-ins with lying cunts and dipshit moderation on Twitter.

@OutOnTheMoors I saw your post about this over on BSky and was wondering WTF was going on, thanks for the update over here!
