That’s kind of like, “What came first, the chicken or the egg?” It seems to me that when you give a regular person a bunch of money, like winning the lottery, they tend to go kind of nuts with it. So in that way, it seems that money is corrupting them. If you have some kind of ultra-rich person who loves money and power, then they’re already corrupt because of power and money.

They should add a bunch of people who can’t dance dancing around like idiots.

We’ve had meetings spelling out to users what they should look for in a suspicious email. Then, once a week we would send out an email that was either legitimate or suspicious. We would ask them to look closely at the email and mark down on the questionnaire whether the email was suspicious or legitimate. A not insignificant number of people failed the test every week. Your average user just isn’t equipped with the mindset they need to be safe on the internet.

I’m not saying don’t use the Internet. I’m saying be aware, be careful. Don’t let companies sell your information. Use two factor authentication. Encrypt everything you can. Scan your system for malware. Don’t open suspicious emails. Be proactive, but realize at some point someone could compromise your security.

I figure it’s best to assume that there is no privacy on the internet.

I’ve been in IT to close to 40 years and I don’t say anything online that I wouldn’t say in public.

Always amazes me that the very people who preach their rights and freedom are the very ones who want to take them all away. Oh, right, they want to take your rights away not theirs.

They put on a good concert. That looks awesome.

I love Mastodon

Oh. It’s actually the reply button. What an odd way to do things.

Nope. I don’t know.

I long pressed on the blue highlight from my inbox as a test. Let’s see if that is the problem.

For sure

Math class

It’s ok. They’re only shooting brown people. /s

So, the Andromeda Strain was a documentary?

Why is the US food industry trying to kill it’s customers? … Oh, wait…(Checks notes) They always were.

For me it’s a matter of my mentality. I have tried to get away from the spending mentality. As soon as you get money you start thinking of ways to spend it. You should be thinking of ways to save it. I usually try to think of something that is important to me. For me I like to go out and see the world. That means buying gas. If I spend $5 on a cup of coffee that’s about 20 mi I can’t drive. As others have stated you got all these streaming media sites and stuff. If you add that all up over a years time is quite a bit of money. You should get rid of anything you don’t need. There are two ways to have more money: Make more or spend less.
