If you're thinking of getting into infosec, you should know that the industry is like 99% military, cops, and bootlickers - and this largely holds true for the available work as well.

re: tootsite 

@meave@toot.site This is one of those "everybody in the industry knows this yet nobody outside of the industry understands it" things, isn't it

Folks have mentioned that Twitter is an extremely important space for sharing #protest news across the world and as a result we should keep preserving it despite the takeover.

I get it, I am #Iranian, I have relied heavily on twitter for news sharing re protests in #Iran over the years.

But what you are missing is that those same activists and protesters are MOST vulnerable to the new Twitter regime. Misinformation campaigns will be easy, and #Putin/#China/Islamic republic will use it.

@skye Unfortunately my brain just stacks up those experiences onto the "worry about forever" pile, rather than dropping them from memory :|

@ShadowJonathan@tech.lgbt It didn't even save any time, they did like a few meters of pavement, putting on and taking off the whole leafblower setup took more time than it would've taken to just remove them with a rake

@ShadowJonathan@tech.lgbt Oh they were at least blowing them off the pavement into the bushes here, so in this case the *goal* was at least legitimate.

But like, use a fucking rake, man!

"But you lose so many people and good posts by blocking people/instances!"

You know who else make good posts?

The marginalized people these people and instances make a concerted effort to drive off, and the people who ignore and enable this toxic behavior.

@bram Liberal "respectability" politics are a hell of a drug.

@maloki @f0x I split pills into (roughly) sixths because of this, to get the dose right...

Als we dan zo'n energiecrisis hebben he, zullen we dan beginnen met het verbieden van *fucking bladblazers*

Good morning! A post just rolled across my fedi-timeline saying not to post about politics on Mastodon, so I'm here to remind you that:

1 "politics" refers to decision-making about how to live together in groups
2 choosing to not participate in political discussion is saying you support the status quo, and is a political stance
3 abstaining from politics because you feel safe from its impacts is a privilege and a choice to abandon your more vulnerable neighbours

Been trying to keep an open mind about Post but, yeesh, it has a lot of warning signs right out of the gate, and I don't mean beta bugs. Comments run by OpenWeb? Investment by Marc Andreessen? No way to know who is reposting your content? No way to moderate comments on your posts?

It doesn't seem buggy, it seems structurally unsound in ways that will be hard to fix.
