"The Dutch government has quietly removed #Google #tracking tools from job listings for its intelligence services over concerns that the data would expose aspirant spies to U.S. #surveillance," according to POLITICO.

"The intervention would put an end to Google’s processing of the data of job seekers interested in applying to #spy service jobs, after members of parliament in The Hague raised security concerns." 💥

Did I buy it because it calls people who work in food preparation the "Officers of the Mouth"? Also yes.

Model employee? No, I'm a modal employee.

you tell me what to do and I can't do anything else until that's done.

@gnome Apart from what has already been mentioned I love the search because it lets me access almost anything instantly! In general, the workflows feel very snappy which is probably thanks in part to the consistent design.

I hate the "cattle vs. pets" framing of managing larger clusters of computers with automation, implying that managing small clusters or single machines is done manually.

I hate it because managing a single machine without a framework suitable for automation has been generally poor practice *forever*.

But I hate it even more because the foundation of the metaphor is that it is OK and normal to treat livestock without compassion or care. It is quite simply not.

Retire that framing, please.

@gnome for someone with ADHD like myself, the design helps keep me focused on my work and not get distracted with all the other doohickeys that other DE's have, or the need to spend all day customizing my DE.

Innerhalb von 3 Monaten ist nun fast mein gesamter Freundes- und Bekanntenkreis von #Whatsapp zu #Signal und #Threema umgezogen.
Mit mir sind auch 2 mir wichtige Gruppen zu #Signal, eine davon mit über 20 Leuten.

Die einzigen, die nur Whatsapp und nichts anderes wollen, sind ein paar ältere Familienmitglieder.
Eins davon hat mir jetzt einen echten Brief per #Post geschrieben, da ich ja sonst nicht mehr erreichbar bin :)
Auf dem Laptop läuft #Debian und ich mache weiter mit #unplugtrump .

it’s my birthday

this is what my spouse got me

she knows someone that makes custom rugs and made me a LaserDisc Turtle rug

i love it

UPDATE: dang this is doing numbers, i'd be remiss if i didn't shout out Tuft Luck Rugs, the creator who made this. she mainly communicates via Instagram

To make the "zfs list" output more script-friendly, you can suppress the
output of the headers for each column by passing the -H parameter:

zfs list -H

Another helpful option for script writers is -p, which displays the numbers
in non-rounded, exact values:

zfs list -p

New, by me: Fintech firm Marquis is alerting dozens of U.S. banks and credit unions after an August ransomware attack let hackers steal reams of customers' personal information and financial data, including their Social Security numbers.

Marquis allows financial institutions to "centralize all customer or member data in one place," and as such handles large amounts of bank customers' data.

At least 400,000 people known to be affected so far and likely to rise.
