When I left Twitter for Mastodon, so many people told me I was making a mistake and Mastodon was dead.

It was a difficult decision to switch because I had been on Twitter for 13 years, and I had accumulated over 16,000 followers.

But here we are, two and a half years later, and I am now followed by 17,000 here on Mastodon.

It is such an important milestone for me, because it proves that while the majority will often chose continuity over change, change often wins.

The future is federated!

I insert the USB stick LTE modem into my Linux laptop. I thought it was going to take a lot longer to get the internet on this device. 😭 I might need to tweak settings or download the drivers and compile it.

Linux sends a notification: 'New modem found.' What? No way.

So, I go to the network settings panel, and there's an option to connect to the Internet called “Mobile Internet”. I click on it.
I'm online, and I'm speechless 😶 The year of the Linux desktop is already here, at least for me!

@arstechnica Cue the AI-friendly bot-crawling browser extensions in 3…2…1…

Recently I am more and more angry with Presidents acting like dictators, billionaires who wreck the planet in front of our eyes and another two books full..

I've been told to "'not worry about things you cannot control" over and over

But I cannot make peace with that, and my reply is:

"No, I keep worrying and fighting until I am in a way of control so I can do something about it"

The feeling of "no control" is what they want so they can get away with everything

I'm looking for a job, so I think it's my turn to make a #fedihire post!

My main areas of expertise are computer security and standardiziation, and I'm deeply involved in the free and open source software (FOSS) community. My ideal role would be one that blends strategy with technology: Open Source Program Manager or CISO for instance. Remote-first is most practical, but any amount of travel as part of the job is acceptable to me. I'm a British citizen and currently resident in the UK, but would like to move to Germany if possible (meine Deutschkenntnisse entsprechen fast dem CEFR-Niveau B2).

Help request. My brother has Stage 4 colorectal cancer.

His life insurance has refused to pay out on a technicality, meaning he and his loved ones cannot afford the mortgage on their home.

I've never asked for anything in return for infosec stuff, but if you have anything spare, please chuck it this direction instead:

The new permissions are required so we can set KeePassXC as your default password manager backend. Unfortunately, there isn't a better name for this permission set.

This is sickening…

It’s ⭐️Jordan Wood,
Susan Collins’ only Democratic opponent.

When Susan Collins confirmed RFK Jr. and Tulsi Gabbard
after expressing her *deepest concerns*
she left Mainers stunned.

But now, I’m learning that days before the votes:

…Susan Collins jetted down to Mar-a-Lago

…she DINED with Donald Trump 

…the MAGA establishment vowed 💥over $400 MILLION would be spent on her race

I won’t mince words:
👉 Susan Collins is incredibly vulnerable.

So she bowed down to Trump
– confirming a vaccine denier and a conspiracy theorist
– because she knew it meant they’d rush millions to rescue her seat.

Hear me when I say this:
𝗜’𝘃𝗲 𝘀𝗽𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗺𝘆 𝗰𝗮𝗿𝗲𝗲𝗿 𝗳𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗰𝗼𝗿𝗿𝘂𝗽𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻,
𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗜 𝗿𝗲𝗳𝘂𝘀𝗲 𝘁𝗼 𝗹𝗲𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗶𝗻𝗳𝗹𝘂𝘅 𝗼𝗳 𝗱𝗶𝗿𝘁𝘆 𝗺𝗼𝗻𝗲𝘆 𝗯𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘀𝗼𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗦𝘂𝘀𝗮𝗻 𝗖𝗼𝗹𝗹𝗶𝗻𝘀 𝘀𝗰𝗿𝗮𝗽𝗲𝘀 𝗯𝘆 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗱𝗲𝗳𝗲𝗮𝘁𝘀 𝗺𝗲.

That's why I'm asking for your donation today.
Will you rush in $15 to my Senate campaign to defeat Susan Collins so we can flip Maine blue?

With enough folks pitching in, we’ll take our country back from Susan Collins and Donald Trump

Today we’re quietly (and finally!) opening up Railfinder to the public! This is our beta version and - hopefully - the first step towards that one booking site for trains across Europe that we all dream of.

Lots of work has gone into this and equally lots still to do before reach that vision, but if you’d like to try what we’ve built you can now just go to railfinder.eu and have a go!

Any and all feedback more than welcome 🙏
