vortex egg, MLIS (@vortexegg.com):
I don't really like the vibes of any of the social domains I'm embedded in and I don't particularly like the vibes I bring to social media lately in response to that.
I guess it's up to me to make the vibes I want to see in the world.
Ms. Penny Oaken, SkyWitch (@skywitches.net):
Two pulse oscillators with slight detune and a LFO into the pulse width modulation?

For 20 years, Fox News & Co have drilled "Do Your Own Research" into their audience, b/c it's a variant of the confidence scam opener line, "I trust you to see the truth".
They've lost all ability to accept knowledge from experts - they only accept information from their pundits.
Ms. Penny Oaken, SkyWitch (@skywitches.net):
The problem isn't a lack of knowledge — we live in a time when 10x more knowledge is available to us than the best-connected academics had just 40 years ago.
The problem is their emotional motives. They do not want, & will resist, delegating "authority" to anyone that will contradict them.

An attempt ( a failed attempt ) to reproduce the Rush synth sound used on Subdivisions. Doesn't sound half bad as s backing track for Journey tho
Ms. Penny Oaken, SkyWitch (@skywitches.net):
Geddy used an Oberheim OB-X on Subdivisions, which has internal mechanisms that automatically compensate where other subtractive synths (like Thor, here) lose bass. Striking the balance between filling in the bass vs overdrive muddying is delicate on Thor.

y'all, this is just The Playbook.
1) Declare OP is Wrong;
2) Make Statement of Outrage;
3) Just Ask Questions;
4) Fundraise from the controversy.
Don't fall for it. Good faith approaches ask for clarification in good faith.
Block jerks like this. Don't feed the trolls

You're gonna see the words "disrupt" used quite a lot in the coming days (mostly from tech bros). Use of it should always be considered in the volatile sense and absolutely be an immediate red flag to avoid.

I've blocked a few literal Nazis recently but I checked the people following them to block them as well and every time there's a handful of apparently real left/liberal folks following these accounts and … what?
Are they just blindly following back?

that's a very different machine learning than the generative LLMs that are what we all dislike
frick off with your false equivalencies
Ms. Penny Oaken, SkyWitch (@skywitches.net):
The datasets those MLs were built on were also curated from unsolicited attacks that were conveyed in violation of terms of service, inherently forsaking copyrights; the BlueSky post blobs are data collected in violation of copyright.

the reverse tech equivalent of "it's never lupus" is "it's always DNS"
even if you think it can't possibly be DNS… it's DNS
liv (@livfreeorcry.gay):
weird inexplicable shit happening between two computers? that's DNS babyyyyy
Ms. Penny Oaken, SkyWitch (@skywitches.net):
Back when OSX was still called Mac OS [number], an entire Fortune 500 corp was brought to a standstill for 2 days because the netadmins had decided to tell the DNS system to trust any machine that used DHCP to advertise itself as the authoritative name server - which OSX did by default at that time
Ms. Penny Oaken, SkyWitch (@skywitches.net):
They also had configured the internal network to relay those DHCP advertisements. Everywhere. In. The. Corp.
Across four continents
Ms. Penny Oaken, SkyWitch (@skywitches.net):
The corporate Mac guy had merely plugged his cube in to the network
THE Bryan Wenzel (@bryanwenzel.bsky.social):
Well, see, there's your problem right there
(Have also seen a corp network taken down because some butthole with an iThing & active DHCP took over the segment DNS handling, I had to figure it out with Wireshark in real time)
Ms. Penny Oaken, SkyWitch (@skywitches.net):
looking back on it, it was hilarious - very unfun in the moment, and I wasn't even in the blamechain for it
THE Bryan Wenzel (@bryanwenzel.bsky.social):
I'm proud of troubleshooting it now looking back, the bonus is that it was the head of facility security that did it, & he HATED me, so it was great to throw his dumb butt under the bus directly to the CTO & COO
But at the time? That Monday morning? That SUCKED, the entire network was basically off
