DIRECT MESSAGING
DMs on Mastodon work differently than on other platforms.
Graham Cluley, a well-respected British security blogger with a sharp sense of humor (and host of the Smashing Security podcast) has this to say:
“Imagine you are having a direct message conversation with someone on Mastodon about a sensitive subject.
Maybe George and Paul are bantering via direct message on Mastodon, and one of them says “I’ll tell you who’s a twit. That bloody @Ringo”
Well, because @Ringo has been mentioned in the chat, he now sees a copy of the message too. Ouch, that’s awkward.
This would be particularly dangerous if you were communicating with another Mastodon user to report abusive behaviour. Suddenly your abuser knows you are complaining about them.
Email doesn’t work like that. Twitter direct messages don’t work like that.
(Sorry Ringo for using your name in this example, Peace and Love man!)”

Marcus Hutchins pointed out -- in his excellent overview “A Twitter User's Guide to Mastodon”:
“Something to also be wary of is similar to how Twitter staff can read your DMs, so can Mastodon instance staff. If you send a DM to someone on another instance, both the staff on the sending and receiving instance could read your message if they wanted to. Just like on any social media platform, I do not advise using DMs to share sensitive information. Use DMs for normal discussions, or exchanging contacts. Any sensitive information should be sent via an End-to-end encrypted messaging app like Signal, WhatsApp, Telegram, or Wire.”

Eu amava... já tive o pior ano da minha vida desde que o litio foi descontinuado no meu país... é triste demais :broken_heart:
Agora eu gostaria de saber por que.

RT from Lula (@LulaOficial)
Estive com @khrafnsson, editor-chefe do WikiLeaks, e com o editor Joseph Farrell, que me informaram da situação de saúde e da luta por liberdade de Julian Assange. Pedi para que enviassem minha solidariedade. Que Assange seja solto de sua injusta prisão.

*Test* number 2. Please ignore this toot, I'm just trying this **Markdown** feauture. Friendly reminder, this is the Collatz conjecture: $C(x) = {3x+1 if x odd; x/2 if x even}$

As right-wing extremists are re-platformed everywhere from Twitter to Mar-a-Lago, it’s more important than ever that we hold our journalists, researchers, & others to high standards of accountability when it comes to reporting on extremism and extremists. We need journalists who will tell us the truth, not stake out a position in the middle of two unequal sides. I keep coming back to this quote about reporting on the weather, but it was missing something — so I modified it to make it complete.

Check out this video from @qiskit ♥
Friendly reminder: last physics nobel prize DOES NOT state that communication travels faster than light. She, I think, explains it very well.

As long as our society keeps worshipping billionares we're doomed. Being billionare is carrying a label of "I've screwed so many people to get here". It is also important to let us remind that making a fortune is only possible when you have $resources and good luck (Apart from hard work, of course.)

Dr Sabine Hossenfelder shared this article in her twitter profile. From times to times, insightful theories require simple maths ♥
Also, it is true that nowadays physicists are actually able to understand quantum physics, even when it is hard for, I think, most of us to concile it with how we perceive reality
Check it out! :)

Periodic reminder: any system that requires you set a password and then specifies a maximum length... means it is either developed by numpties (whom you shouldn't trust with the security of your data) or that they're storing your password in plain text somewhere (e.g. a database with a limited field length) which means that they're decisively incompetent numpties. Either way, both should be avoided.
I started dating someone about three weeks ago and at the very beginning I felt no much of an interest for this person....however, he managed to change that and actually had me to like him so much.... now he is going back -.- this is second time this happens to me ._. Why in the hell would someone make an effort for you to like them (reaally like them) and when you do they just don't feel interest for you anymore ._. I really want to understand that.. to me, that's basically playing people out. I'm inherently monogamous so I can only focus on one single partner once I've chosen him... I expect the same but that does not happen... to me xD
I think I should give up and just move on 
Rick was right; focus on science, love is a waste of energy and time u.u
Does every murder have a mental illness? and.. does every person with a mental illness a potential murder? The answer to both questions is NO. But, take a look on some of the pages of this amazing book, The Science of Evil.
Such a beautiful quote ♥ from *The C++ Programming language - Bjarne Stroustrup*.
"Just as plenty of piano practice can cause a thick layer of myelination to increase the efficiency of the specific circuits needed to play a Beethoven sonata, lots of seizures can increase the myelination of the circuits that seize. (...) This is the first demonstration of maladaptive myelination in a disease context"
I wonder now if this is a mechanism that replicates with other mental diseases such as schizophrenia or BD...

Sooo, if you ever need a boolean output on whether a text contains at least one word of a list, you can code it in a single line in python, like this :D
```any([text.find(i)>0 for i in list])```
I feel a bit proud about figuring that out :'3 I guess a senior would do it way better tho. However, if that's the case, right now I don't feel like hearing/reading it, but as of tomorrow xD
