Just realized that @ZachWeinersmith fully predicted ChatGPT with this 2014 comic (if he's already pointed this out, my bad): https://www.smbc-comics.com/index.php?db=comics&id=3576

OK, language weirdness question.

Someone recently said:

"I just about caught the train."

Did they catch it or not? Perhaps it depends whether you think of English as (one of) your first language(s).

As always, if you're happy to do so I'd be grateful if you'd boost for reach, and to get beyond my circle of followers.

Thank you!

#introduction. Hi folkes! I'm a writer, board game designer, and carer currently living in Tasmania. I enjoy connecting with other writers and designers, but mostly I'll be posting memes, writing prompts and ttrpg stuff.

I'll be heading to Perth in March. I wonder what it's like, there.

The container I used to hold coffee beans broke, so I made this. First I cut and glued discs of alder, walnut, maple, then turned and finished. I succeeded in something I have failed at many times before -- making a tight lid.

I love, love, love, love my friends who work in cybersecurity awareness training - and it remains a critical part of defense in depth, but imagine if (normal, not cleared) employees had to consistently and broadly take other awareness training to stop other tactics of criminals and spies all by themselves. Mandatory all-employee self-defense mat time. Mandatory annual recognizing of tampered locks. Mandatory “psychology of an insider threat” detection training.

We still put a lot on people with very little education or formal training, in cybersecurity.

It really works!

In early 2023, #Mozilla will stand up and test a publicly accessible instance in the #Fediverse at Mozilla.Social.

Memo to @nationalreview:

1. The NOTAM system is separate from air traffic control.
2. The NOTAM system is *already* privatized. It's run by Leidos.
3. A significant portion of air traffic control is not run by the FAA. I talk to non-FAA flight controllers from the airplane every week.

Suggestion: Learn about a topic before shitposting about it.

What was your first modem? Mine was a 300 baud #VICMODEM for my #Commodore #VIC20 which included a type in terminal program in BASIC. You had to manually dial the number with the phone, unplug the coil cable from the handset, and plug it into the modem! #RetroComputing #VintageComputing (Edit: added missing space after VIC20 tag)
