Enterprise Role Play (ERP), sometimes also Enterprise Resource Play: A unique form of fetish role play.

Unlike more popular fantasies such as boss/secretary focused on power relationships in an office environment, in ERP the business processes themselves are central to the scenario.

ERP participants can create elaborate scenarios involving fictional purchasing departments, legal teams, contract negotiations, and more. Large group ERP scenarios sometimes even extend to the point of renting out vacant space in an office park and acquiring demo licenses of SAP or a competing software package to make the fantasy more realistic, or even traveling to a remote ERP group's dungeon to roleplay a merger or acquisition.

As with more conventional roleplays in the S&M context, consent is critical in ERP. If participants are expected to invest significant real-world money in software licenses, make sure this is agreed upon by everyone in advance. The outcome of all merger scenarios should be pre-briefed; attempted hostile takeovers of another dungeon are extremely frowned upon and can result in participants being banned from future events.

I kinda wasn't expecting a multi trillion dollar industry to build its marketing campaigns on my tiny niche. Makes sense IMO, 0day have always been pretty easy and false positives don't really matter during the audits... and the entire world has been told 0day are impossible

The amount of people who aren't comfortable saying "I don't know" is staggering.

Make "I don't know" more common in y'alls vernacular. It's healthy and leads to learning new things

The man whose codebreaking may have helped to shorten the Second World War by two years met a grim reward: in 1952 Alan Turing was convicted simply for being gay and chemically castrated; a royal pardon came only in 2013, decades after his death

There's apparently scammers going round pretending to be Mastodon admins, demanding people "verify their identity".

Do not click on their links, do not give them any info. It is a scam. Genuine Mastodon server admins never demand verification like this.

Here's a guide to how to recognise and avoid various kinds of scams on Mastodon and the wider Fediverse:
