Choice Between Good and Evil
BTW we are all vermin and bad blood if we object to the MAGA causes and the former prez.
Hopefully the vote will clear the deck for the insurrection that MAGA will want after losing and we can lock the idiots up.
Gonna be a long two years…

I have 3 square body chevy trucks 1973-87, 454 in two, manual in one. Rolling with complete drivetrains. Pictures on this site.
The finding is that because the social media linking of these activities follows the clicking through these sites to generate ad income, the more activity (read clicking through) the more the message gets out…however false and misleading.
There was a very interesting show today with the guest Dan Patterson. He works with Major and CBS doing Fact Checking in a big way. He came by it as a technical guy given the job of hunting where all the misinformation and disinformation is coming from…you guessed it; the Internet! Here’s the link to the show:

On Twitter he is @MajorCBS. See also: @TakeoutPodcast @TheDebriefCBS
The radio/podcast/streaming show comes on at 5PM Eastern Fridays and is repeated any time from CBS or CBSNEWS streams.
Dan Patterson is a CBS News Technologies reporter. On Twitter he is @DanPatterson. He also has written for many many technical, financial, and industry publications.
Today’s show on Disinformation was special as the guys got to drill down into finding from where these outright lies emanate. Dan has gone down all these rabbit holes to follow the “do your own research” links planted in these abundant social media websites.

Concurrently there is a disincentive for the website selling the ad click-throughs; more clicks make more money. More controversy or “facts-that-fit-your-mindset” make more clicks. The participants in the media site are followed and recruited by the media peddler while the back end income from clicks is really what the site is peddling.
Pick a topic such as voting fraud and run it into the ground while raising money for yourself and your personal agendas. That’s been done to the point of Insurrection at the Capitol.
Technologists must realize as enablers of the modern tech that they also may bear some social responsibility as well. Good moral judgment must go into all vocation and professional pursuit.

We had a 366 GM Industrial Engine in need of a starter. These folks took care of it overnight. I love their work. Reach them here.
Novice threat…
Bernard Lambert
The idea that novice or inexperienced people pose a threat belies the fact that the process to get those individuals to mastery is a very secure method due to the process of passing through those apprentice, novice, journeyman, and master programs. Absent of that, how will one read about it, write about it, talk about it, and do it?
In IT, certification is insufficient without seat time at the consoles of those tools and devices. The addition of deep problem solving skills and a great deal of experience are the necessary requirements of these complex IT jobs.
For those new to IT, the question is often “How will they get any experience when locked out of job experience?”.
Your thoughts please
“…comment on technology’s impact..”
This blog is used to comment on technology’s impact upon our lives.
The term “blog” came from the Internet technology accompanying the World Wide Web service. The “Web Log” or the log created by users of web services became the “Blog” for short.
The Internet was created to disseminate information electronically and has grown exponentially since its inception. Blogging has become one of the mainstay methods of the presentation of ideas and the dialogs that accompany them as they are presented, expanded, edited, critiqued, et al.
Please enjoy this blog. Keep it clean. Enjoy your free speech. Offer your ideas rather than bludgeon everyone with your opinion.
