@Viss sir, you have suffered an emotional shock. i will notify an emotional crisis center.

[madengineering@mastodon.cloud]

@Viss We seem to be headed OCP's way as a society anyway.

[viss@mastodon.social]

@reverseics shit. i got bupkis for robocop gifs

[viss@mastodon.social]

@madengineering oh we blew way past ocp already

[madengineering@mastodon.cloud]

@Viss I'm pretty sure we're at least six mergers away from any company being able to claim to be "omni" anything, and the libertarians who suggest privatizing the police are still being laughed at for the moment.

Still, it's disquieting how many people are pushing one stupid idea after another.

[viss@mastodon.social]

@madengineering you know all American news is owned by four billionaires, right? search is dominated by one org, cable is like 3? maybe 4?

[madengineering@mastodon.cloud]

@Viss Yeah, but.i think the ocp point is those four billionaires merging their companies and producing one trillionaire.

I actually know morons who think that would be a good thing somehow.

[viss@mastodon.social]

@madengineering well ocp was JUST detroit. they wanted to run all of detroit. musk already has that in texas, and hes angling to be the first trillionaire

[madengineering@mastodon.cloud]

@Viss I swear the only way this time-line could be worse is if Trump were somehow such a big fan of breaking bad that he pushed to legalize meth.

@Iveyline @Viss The primary reason for this is to prevent employees from sharing confidential data with a third-party AI agent. In many cases, these companies have an approved AI vendor or internal AI tools that should be used instead. I’m willing to bet this person’s company does, too, but this person hasn’t been paying attention because they’ve forgotten how to think for themselves. 😉

@Viss
Pihole for the win wohooo

[tychotithonus@infosec.exchange]

@Viss I'd buy that for a dollar!

[migratory@jorts.horse]

@Viss megaman battle network ass

[f4grx@chaos.social]

@mborges @Viss @internetofshit oh :(

[thechris@norden.social]

@Viss Doesn't really matter where you hit them, tbh.

Maybe I'm being naive, but do you *have* to hook them up to the internet?

[reverseics@infosec.exchange]

@Viss all i know is the scene 27 remake on vimeo.

[viss@mastodon.social]

@reverseics holy shit i had no idea this existed. props to the propmakers for sourcing an actual robocop outfit (someone threw down hard here) THAT MANY EXPLODING DICKS, and decking out a beretta 93r. hahahaha this is wild.

happy friday, indeed

[viss@mastodon.social]

@reverseics so the janky homeassistant powered cheap chinese humidifier decided it was gonna run all night, and my automations didnt work correctly so we woke up to puddles and a huge wet section of the living room this morning, but after that, pretty sure my friday can only improve from here forward

[viss@mastodon.social]

@reverseics now i cant stop thinking about the prop masters for that remake. someone had to have like two dozen exploding dicks. it would have taken testing, squib placement, fake blood dosing - like, thats work. some people spent days/weeks perfecting dick explosions for this to happen.

i salute their commitment to filmmaking excellence

[mast0d0nphan@beige.party]

@Viss Not only continued sexualization, but continued removal of her very independence, akin to the very material her creation and characterization was inspired by: Ridley and the Alien franchise.

Ridley's independence was slowly being peeled back in favor of adding a cast of obvious expendables who were merely there to make her look better without any effort by the writers, or to prop her up as some sexualized trophy to be obtained in the third movie. Hell, they fucking cloned and lobotomized her in the fourth Alien movie (which I couldn't even make it past the scene where she's being taught how to say "fork" and ends up saying "fuck", which hey, bimbofication was not at all on my bingo card).

And now with Metroid, whaddya know, Prime 4 seems to be taking Samus in this direction too. And don't get me started on Other M and how much more explicit it was with sexualizing Samus while making her subservient to a male superior. Ugh. Makes my skin crawl.
