@SwiftOnSecurity subtitle: dear reader he was actually behind 15, and putting you off the trail

@Ofsevit @universalhub after further consultation my friend realized there would be some logistical issues retrieving them from Boston, so if you haven't already grabbed them on his behalf, better wait for someone else to speak up. (sorry for the whiplash!)

@reconbot @mekkaokereke when it was first stolen, my _extremely built_ friend who was ex-Army Intelligence offered to just come with me to get it, and I was pretty tempted (especially since this fencing operation was clearly operating out of an upper-middle class neighborhood so risk of violence seemed low), but was like "nah, don't need to risk things escalating or them throwing out my laptop to avoid getting caught" but after that experience with the cops 🤮🤮🤮

@mekkaokereke @reconbot i think the only reason they cared here is (a) because they didn’t have to do anything but text someone and chill at the mall (b) asset value was well high enough to be a felony

@reconbot @mekkaokereke when I went to the station to pick up my laptop after it had been recovered, all the officers chilling in the lobby were cracking "I can't breath jokes" (circa December 2014)

@reconbot @mekkaokereke When my ~$4K laptop was stolen out of my apartment in Providence a few years ago, I had to do all the leg work of cyber-stalking the fence, and managed to get the cops to set up a sting and seize it from him at the local mall after I handed them his cell phone number, but then they let him go because, and I quote, "he was a harmless fat white kid". Got a call like 2 years later to testify against the guy who actually did the break-in that I had no evidence on...

@shikhadalmia Sad turn of events, but it is always entertaining when someone is wrong and their own previous writings are the shortest path to demonstrating how and why they are wrong.

@Ofsevit @universalhub I just told a friend who is likely interested. Might be impetus for him to finally make a Mastodon account.

@ryanhuber @elonjet @danmurray Time for a "We don't talk about ~Bruno~ airplanes." musical parody?

@sonomalass @charliejane pretty sure Vader killing the separatists on Mustafar is an intentional mirror: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ovrx7R_P4zU https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ua5vIG1XIyw

@sonomalass @charliejane one of the reasons I love Machete Order is it really raises the narrative tension on Luke's trajectory, *esp* when RotJ opens with him force-choking his way into Jabba's Palace...

@evangreer @team Missed an opportunity by not using Riffusion for the music! https://www.riffusion.com/

@regehr @gannimo @eeide @moyix @snagy @ricci I was just talking to someone who said their landlord is already using it to compose notices to the building and I couldn’t decide whether to sob or cackle hysterically 🤯
