Added the “make no mistakes” to the prompt, but forgot the “make it secure”. Rookie mistake.
A ghostly feline shape emerges from the clouds of the Carina Nebula
Located approximately 7,500 light-years from Earth, this region of gas and dust resembles a cat sitting with its back toward us, its head turned to reveal a glowing eye. Intense ultraviolet radiation and powerful winds from nearby massive stars likely sculpted its unusual shape. Credit: NASA, ESA, CSA, STScI
@llamasoft_ox I'm so delighted. Rescue on Minos, Goat Up, and Five A Day were such gems. Are the Pocket PC Llamasoft games available anywhere? That was my favorite version of Gridrunner.
@Tanatoes you may be in for a pleasant surprise there.

@dgar It’s not even the cleverest thing I’ve done in that song’s lyrics. There’s an Easter egg in there somewhere.
@futzle found it.
I do not, and I cannot emphasize this enough, want to do so. I want to read books and write queer screenplays and do all sorts of silly shit that doesn't look like writing code.
But the thing is capitalists have decided that if you don't write code, then they get to control how you computer — as fucked and inhumane a position as one can take, really. They also decided that if you don't spend your whole waking life writing code, then they get to replace parts of your computer with adversaries.
It's so disheartening to explain this over and over working in critical infrastructure cybersecurity full time. It's because everyone demands cheap, fast remote support and AI enabled real time telemetry and control. We’ve worked ourselves into this corner through demanding connectivity and I see next to nothing truly airgapped anymore. In fact, it’s impossible to convert some critical systems back at this point.
A lot of our power infrastructure is so complex with microgrids and renewables and real time billing and buy backs that it can’t be switched to manual anymore. A lot of industrial vendors won’t provide warranty support if their remote access is removed.
And this is all happening in super low maturity environments with limited if any cybersecurity resources or tools.
We’re trying, but the state of things is pretty dire, the barrier to basic disruptive attacks is lowering rapidly, and we can’t find enough people who understand the industrial environments and cybersecurity on thirty year old computers fast enough to hire close to enough people.
@hacks4pancakes as I understand it, the fridges (aks-800 controllers) were directly internet-facing, accessible via public ipv4.
Internet of shit.

Hi, I got a couple questions that aren’t answered on your transparency page yet.
The Sisko is belligerent.
@bigzaphod Picard never hit me!
@gluejar Dear Ms. Plath,
We would like to consult you about the design of our new line of stoves.
I added a track called 'Weird Arsehole' to my last Limnetic Villains album. I can't imagine why my music doesn't feature prominently in supermarket playlists. It's up on Bandcamp with the rest of the albums. https://limneticvillains.bandcamp.com
It's Bandcamp Friday tomorrow and I'm feeling quite sick, if anyone buys my music tomorrow your money will probably go on ice cream, because I feel like I'm going to need lots of ice cream.
PAINT? PAINT?
MICROSOFT FUCKING PAINT?
CVE?
REMOTE?
@VasilisTheChu And that’s why I need my 256GB RAM for paint, duh Altman
… #Texas #Republicans haven’t been washed like this since the end of Reconstruction, when Black Texans were overwhelmingly Republican & the state #Democratic Party was run by a secessionist. The last time a #Democrat won a #Senate election in TX, the Soviet Union was still in Afghanistan, Big Daddy Kane & Salt-N-Pepa had just released new albums, & Americans poured into theaters to watch that *classic* of…cinema, Crocodile Dundee II.

Siri AI has transformed a thing that could only be used to set timers into a thing that can only be used to set timers much more slowly.
Look who’s scared of being investigated by Congress!
“Harmeet Dhillon stepped down from her role leading the Justice Department’s civil rights unit, marking the first senior DOJ official to resign following Democrats’ massive midterm wins.”
I expect the DoJ will need fencing, guiding the rush for the exits.
I also hope Congress will be able to subpoena Musk's illegal databases of all the documents he has been exfiltrating out of the networks, so they can be used in the future prosecutions.
Impeachment isn’t enough. He needs to be tried for war crimes.
@carnage4life with the current DNC leaders? not likely. He probably won't even merit an investigation. They're already talking about ending devisiveness and working together... all the shit Republicans use to lead us around like Lucy and her football.
I left the DNC after THIRTY FIVE YEARS of membership. THIRTY FIVE YEARS I donated and got people to the polls for dems.
But after the utterly spineless and pathetic responses to Trump in the last 2 yrs, I finally gave up.
If I see people who's names I recognize go to prison, I'll believe there has been some change. But until then, I'll donate twice as much to the primaries and work my ass off to kick out milquetoast incumbants and replace them with firebrands willing to step up and take risks.
@shanecelis you’re absolutely right,
@Elizafox the problem is this toot was load bearing
Sorry, the app encountered an unexpected error
