Because UA never had a formal alliance with the US. Only some words written on toilet paper in exchange for giving up their nuclear weapons. And then we let ru gobble up Crimea and just sat on our hands and did business with the monsters, DE the most.

We finally are seeing the moral reality since the full scale invasion of the 2014 war initiation by ru (aka UA antiterrorist operation) when ru planted their little green men into a foreign country, blew up Malaysia Airlines Flight 17, and instigated a takeover of parts of UA.

@jerry I love when companies tie things unrelated to my job to my pay.

Paulie in AP is going to love having to do cyber when opening envelopes to stamp them with the received date.

Or the other Paulie who is in customer support, using only tools provided by the company, gets continually yelled at about cyber failures of my company.

Or the final Paulie who in IT moves furniture around, as well as boxes for other departments, now I have to cyber along with wearing a back brace.

I’m gonna be mad if this gets more engagement than my post about leaving IBM after 18 years

pauliehedron ,
@pauliehedron@infosec.exchange avatar

@jerry I was just remembering a time when I was going to fly out and help write a Redbook on IBM AV (prior to the Norton sale), being an IBM Business partner as a one person consulting shop.

But I ended up closing my failing company and getting a W2 job. About a month later, my dream of working at IBM was shattered when they called to offer me a job, but it paid less than new job so I had to decline! :blobsad:

Another day of being annoyed that my lifelong quest to understand why “c” is the speed it is and not some other speed ending up at the fine structure constant and physicists saying 🤷 at why the fine structure constant is what it is.

The biggest challenge in 2024 is to get enough people to actually listen to what Trump and those around him are openly, consistently, and explicitly promising to do once they get back to power.

It is utterly deranged, and discounting it as just rhetoric would be a disaster.

“#Trump can remain on #Illinois’ presidential primary ballot, the State Board of Elections voted on Tuesday, dismissing another challenge to the former president's eligibility under Section 3 of the #14thAmendment.

8-person, bipartisan board voted unan against lawsuit brought by group of Illinois voters represented by nat watchdog group Free Speech for the People & Illinois elections lawyers.

The body said it lacked the authority to decide on the challenge” #legal

@GottaLaff

This was a reasoned and reasonable process for the question. Have a hearing and a retired judge review it, give an argued opinion, and then make a fair call based on that opinion.

Unfortunately, I suspect a lot of people won't make it to the bottom of the article where the republican judge in question said yes it was an insurrection, but the board of elections isn't the place to argue constitutional law when it's 6 weeks before a deadline.

Ugh. I'm generally happy with roaming on , but its German MVNO partner is blocking port 995, so I can't access my mail server, and tech support is like, "If you want to report a mail problem, you must initiate a chat request from that email address." I'm stuck in circles - obviously I can't login to the Google Fi app with a non-Google address, and this isn't an email problem, it's a connectivity problem. ALL outbounds on 995 are blocked, not just to my server.
