I don't get out much

i really fucking hate IT Security Guys like, as a labor class. they are usually some of the most belligerent and out-of-touch members of the computer-toucher taxon, and the most divorced from actual use cases. this is how we keep getting shit like hospital staff password cycling that results in nursing stations having video game-style postit note passwords all over them. 'well changing your password every two weeks is shown to be most effective at preventing hacks" thats great man did you do any research on this outside of your actuarial model. because Kathy down at the NICU cant fucking remember "b5h1Jh1HH#15" has been changed to "6h3%!1mn" on station 4, shes on 2 hours of sleep and has long covid

do me a favor and plz reblog with your five most recently used non-face, non-hand, non-heart emojis

i'm actually curious, what trinkets do you guys have on your keychains? 🗝️
