Aussie tech and customer professional in the public sector; enjoys technology, security, travel, cooking & photography. Will have fun changing name, based on how I feel at the time, or just a most recent snack.

My username is a shorthand contraction of my preferred online username (thewinchester), which is a nod to a MAS*H character a former work colleague felt my persona and demeanour resembled; and where i’m from (Australia). #tootfinder

Mind blowing 🤯

Former tabloid executive Mr. Pecker has testified, that in 2015 he made a secret deal with Trump to catch and kill stories that could hurt then presidential candidate Trump, while at the same time he agreed to write negative stories about Hillary, which were run by Trump’s fixer Michael Cohen for approval before publication.

Trump has been screaming “election interference” for many months, and today we find out, that is the exact term for his own crime.

@randahl @bigjsl It’s always projection.

Hard to overstate how enshittified and botshitted Google Maps has become. Went looking for my local locksmith on Gmaps. Maps shows 20+ fake locksmith referral scam outlets and doesn't even register the real locksmith, despite it being fully visible in Street View.

Instead, a red pin on the shop identifies it as a fake locksmith scammer. The real locksmith - which has been there SINCE 1942 (!!) and is a verified merchant - doesn't even show up.

Google Maps, showing the storefront for Golden State Lock as an empty building.

@pluralistic @bastardsheep And the excess level of effort for a regular consumer to report the location or business doesn’t exist is in part how their maps became so enshittified.

It’s too hard for someone that cares to clean up their local neighbourhood data, and they shouldn’t have/need to be putting in any amount of unpaid labour for that anyway.
