   Hello Americans on Mastodon, I know we don't feel like there's much to celebrate this July 4th. It's been a rough several years.

   So I want to talk about how we're making history right now.

   News #Microsoft decided to make #Windows finally #libre after all these years.

   So I think I will be moving to Windows now to try it out.

   @breadandcircuses … and in, say, 10 years they’ll be the COLDEST years of the last 20 years.

   So it goes.

   Soooooo I found a massive vulnerability today, the day before Thanksgiving.

   Buuuuuuut it's looks like its existed for a couple of years.

   So, should I report it RIGHT NOW!!!! The day before thanksgiving? Or wait until next week.

   On one hand, they'll have to react to it as its huge. And it could interrupt their time with family and a major holiday.

   On the other hand, it's been around for so long, what's another couple of days going to change anything?

   On the third hand, if this gets exploited over the holiday weekend, it's on me and could affect even more people.

   Hmmmmmmm.... choices choices.

   Thing is, Keith, literally nobody voted for you to do David Cameron cosplay for five years.

   So maybe what you need to cut is not imaginary “red tape”, but “the crap”, and start doing your job?

   Muscle memory is such a powerful thing when not trained away. Recently my wife and I took a trip that involved quite a bit of swimming. As a kid and teenager I enjoyed swimming but unfortunately I haven't done much of it in the last 30 years.

   So, muscle memory.. On the recent trip, every time I surfaced from swimming underwater I would use my hands to slick back my hair to keep it, and water, out of my face. This is a very distinctive motion that actually starts just before I surface. Every time, without fail.

   Reader, I haven't had hair, much less enough to need slicking back, in over 20 years. It made me laugh nearly every time I surfaced. It has been so long since I spent any time underwater that I had forgotten that I even did it. I chalk that up to rarely swimming now and being blind AF w/o glasses so I wouldn't swim underwater much when I did. It's probably been 10+ years since I did it for any significant time.

   Anyway, muscle memory is a hell of a thing and so is being able to laugh at yourself.
