@ricci @nullagent @irene just posted about this too: https://discuss.systems/@dan/113795649937052050

@ricci @nullagent @irene and seriously, this is even more fucked than I could have imagined. The random bit of extortion at the end just to top it all off...

@be @ricci @nullagent @irene I don't imagine suing the university would be a particularly fun process, especially for an undergrad, but...

@ricci If your NIC winds up with a sufficiently long interface name, like enp8s0f0npf0vf1, and your vlan id is high enough, you'll be unable to bring up a vlan interface like enp8s0f0npf0vf1.1024 because that exceeds the maximum interface name length (IFNAMSIZ = 16)

Max checks out the recently arrived #plushtodon!

@skinnylatte and slap a vaguely racist name like "Trader Ming's" on it for good measure!

The Pixel cleaning process, you say?

@skinnylatte aha, the TL *is* a hotbed of illegal activity just like I was always told!

@irene @timnitGebru @sharon after that meeting, I looked into the ACM DEI council and its budget, and, well, you probably won't be surprised by the results.

@irene @timnitGebru @sharon Oh, and let's not forget the part where, when we did run the survey at an ACM conference, they put together a survey of their own and told people to take it instead "because it'll take only 2 minutes and doesn't ask any uncomfortable questions"
