Why is this happening to me?!

Vampires existed long before the church. They just have a brain disorder that gives them a seizure when they see straight right angles. Right angles don’t really exist in nature. Humans found out this and started making crosses. Humans created the church to maintain this knowledge during the vampires long hibernation periods of around 1000 years.

This is bad advice. Federated identity and oauth are great tools. You need to use the right identity provider.

When some random website gets hacked and has its authentication database dumped your credentials won’t be in there.

You can see what a website has access too from your identity provider.

It’s federation. It’s a trust model. Like the fediverse.

White House blasts Nobel Committee for not awarding Peace Prize to Trump

"The Nobel Committee proved they place politics over peace," White House communications director Steven Cheung said after the announcement on Friday morning.

"President Trump will continue making peace deals, ending wars, and saving lives," Cheung wrote on X. "He has the heart of a humanitarian, and there will never be anyone like him who can move mountains with the sheer force of his will."

What's the most satisfying thing that's happened at a job you've had?

A newer employee was always complaining to management about our dept. at one point he wrote a long email that was mostly quotes from industry leaders saying how the industry despises our dept, that the changes we make are unnecessary. Our dept head received that email and showed it to me. It was pretty scathing.

So I looked up the quotes.

The employee had changed the quotes to fit their narrative. This is a no-no in their industry. The real quotes actually said that even though change is hard, it’s necessary and our dept is essential in making it go smoothly.

I wrote back to management, highlighted the changes they made to the real quotes, and suggested two things:

What they did may be ethically wrong.

How they did it in such a dumb way may be how they approach other aspects of their job. Maybe they aren’t good at it.

Never heard a peep from the employee again. They were asked to leave. I chortled when I saw their departure notice.
