@krypt3ia well i dunno if id call it hope - is that jeff foxworthy joke about the kid pulling on the gigantic tv sitting on a tv stand thats too small for it

the kid wont learn to not do that until the tv falls on him.

so we gotta step back and let the tv fall on the kid because thats the only way the kid will learn.

@jpm thats not EXACTLY how id position it, but kinda

@Viss

now, if MTV had promoted "hamster dance" and "rick roll" more heavily, they might have lasted longer. ;)

@Viss
Have been arguing that point a lot lately, in fact at lunch today with a coworker. We have destroyed our educational system teaching to the test and thus our pipeline of problem solvers and it seems the tech bro crowd like it that way. But there will be no one to buy their products when there are no people with good paying jobs

@Kingu i never said theyd start thinking critically, i said they'd realize it was a problem

@Viss seems as good a time as any to remind readers of the cool shit some yo-yos are doing to move those refrigerators

[kingu@sakurajima.moe]

@Viss right!

[siliconshecky@infosec.exchange]

@Viss critical as in important or critical as in on life support? My guess would be the latter.

[viss@mastodon.social]

@siliconshecky heh, both

[viss@mastodon.social]

@rickf @haiku_brian well they may not DO anything about it

[deltawye@tiggi.es]

@Viss Sounds odd that a reputable company would detect something unusual and only do a 24-hour hold like that. (Urgency - you need to do something right now.)

[hypolite@friendica.mrpetovan.com]

@Kingu @Viss Unfortunately that realization will occur mostly to people without any power to change the global trend, and so catastrophe will ensue.

@Viss
We can hope.

[technoid_@masto.hackers.town]

@Viss we can only wish.

[viss@mastodon.social]

@technoid_ well im confident nobody will DO ANYTHING about it.. but realize it.. yes
