More accurately, zero businesses care about people who work for them, because businesses are legal fictions, which only exist in the legal system. They don't have brains, hearts, or emotions. People who work for them might care, but as the business increases in size, that becomes decreasingly relevant, and once it becomes publicly traded the shareholders can act to remove officers who don't follow the charter. And while corporations aren't legally obligated to maximize profits by default, the charter pretty much always says something about that, as that's why people invest.

A sole proprietor might care about you, and that might even be relevant...

You're talking about Melanie, right? Who lied on her Epstein visa?

That's OK, like Cheeto Benito's latest Ivanka substitute, I didn't pass the bar. (Never claimed to, either.)

e.g. but Elon doesn't even have the courage to take his broken mini organ into space.

Eew, this place is infested, I've got Russian bots on my dick!

AI may be what gets the industry to start taking security seriously. Most computer systems are designed with security as an afterthought, tacked on at the end. Performance has been the primary selling point. But now that AI makes it feasible to find holes that previously would have required a lot of manpower to exploit, perhaps we will see the focus shift in that direction.

You shouldn't use words you don't understand, like "irony".

Or "goodness"

It costs money to provide those services, and schools and libraries are already wanting for funding in this post-fact America. What's between your ears? Nothing.

But the problem is that they cannot scale to sort this out. Where you see a commitment to good security, I see that BofA has been punting on security and failing to meet their commitments to their customers, and that culture has now come to a head with the catalyst of AI leaving them no choice but to scramble frantically.

"To store" is definitely the last thing I give a shit about, but it's also true that Steam is impressively bad. Even after they've recently allegedly given it a major makeover, it's still absurdly slow to launch. Forget "to store", how about just "to a window"? Even that takes longer than it should take to get to your library.

I don't let Steam start on login on my Linux system, but I do leave it running once launched, I guess so that it can semi-randomly decide that now is a good time to process some shaders. Of course it's actually just a stack of web browsers dressed up as an application, which is why everything about it is slow. I get that it's sharing content that is being put on the web so nothing else makes sense, but ugh.

A security suite can do several useful jobs on a Unix/UNIX/Unixlike system. It can look for evidence of intrusion, or it can scan files to check for viruses which might affect the Windows systems in accounting. Also, there's no call to be snobby about Unix security because even if "only" a user is infected, they can easily wipe out any of the data to which they have write access. Then you're no more or less dependent on your backups than with any other OS.

I think that's clear from the UID, it's at least good for that much!

Up through Windows 98 you could still do whatever you wanted on that platform. And ofc there was the Amiga, which was fully multiprocessing, unlike any of the other consumer OSes. It had no memory protection at all unless you swapped to a CPU with a MMU and ran a handler like GOMF. (I think a few Amigas came with MMUs, maybe the Unix machines? But the normal OS didn't use it.)

I think a lot of people do think computing was better back then, which is silly, but nostalgia isn't unusual. I was just looking through some files and noticed one of them contained a bunch of samples of Amiga disk noises to be used with emulators. That's the very, very last thing I would ever want or need. But there were aspects of it which were better in some ways, like that a person could reasonably understand the entire system, and that allowed people to make changes in ways that are hard now. (But of course, they have to be hard for security reasons.)

GLWT.

NGL, NGL.

Who's trying to intimidate someone through a computer? That would be ridiculous.

You and everyone else.

womp womp

If you're supporting Leon, you're supporting this administration, whether you're smart enough to know that or not.

No, that's not how anything works. If you're pro-Nazi, then fuck you, you're a Nazi. If you're pro-genocide, then fuck you, you're a Nazi.

My people are descended from conversos so I'm really not interested in your Jew victim card.

Oh look, you're on Nazi Twitter. More Nazi shit.

I don't allow scripts from Nazi Twitter, so I'm not playing that video. Feel free to find a clip somewhere else.

Yes, I know. That's because you're a fucking Nazi.

Fuck you, Nazi.
