    I think there's a few of us out there!

    I'm on here recharging my batteries
    after a day full of SSO and MFA nonsense. Not to mention "remember this device/login" checkboxes that, as near as I can tell, do nothing.

    By the by, I'm revisiting Bruce Sterling's Hacker Crackdown, 34 years after the fact. It's certainly a different perspective now.

    If both of those bounce off of you, feel free to distract me from modernity. ---

    That's pretty broad, but me too. Most of it, anyway. There _is_ some tech that's boring.

    Diff perspective because you're older/more pro, or what?

    Definitely a good read, and one of the first DRM-free, free to
    distribute books I ran across.
