LastPass, by being breached and almost certainly deliberately not telling their customers about this until just before Christmas needs to be nuked from orbit.

a) Class action lawsuit time. Make it hurt, hurt hurt.

b) User instructions for recovery MUST focus on migrating to either Bitwarden, 1Password, iCloud Keychain (if mac-only), or Chrome password manager (if google-only).

Hey folks, taking some inspiration from another toot. Reminder during these colder seasons -- if it's cold for you, imagine what it must be like to not have a #home in the US. There are hundreds of thousands of people in one of the wealthy nations on the plant who are at risk of these weather issues.

Local shelters are often on short supply for things like socks, underwear, underclothing, feminie hygiene products. A few bucks from you could LITERALLY save someone's life.

You want change? That's how it starts. We grow from our beginnings.

Facebook posted overnight what would be “the largest [settlement] ever achieved in a data privacy lawsuit” and “the most Facebook has ever paid.” $725mil seems large but coupled with Zuck’s SEC deposition transcript just revealed this week, it protects Zuckerberg (again). 1/5

The Mark Meadows' texts with 34 Republicans re: overturning the 2020 election are a disturbing, hilarious, semi-literate, all-caps shrieking, hot mess. Yes, trying to overthrow an election is serious. But these bootlicking, keyboard-abusing Republicans are comedy gold. Hats off to Talking Points Memo for exposing this toxic drivel. Now, if Merrick Garland would just indict someone.

So #Twitter has announced that Twitter Blue suckers can now upload videos up to an hour in length (up from 10 minutes). Given their almost nonexistent content moderation now, what could go wrong?

There's a "Share on Mastodon" button for Chrome now!

We're big time now. Bravo #Mastodon

NOTICE: CAMBRIAN EXPLOSION AHEAD

If Mastodon fails to innovate past where it is today, it is ok. We can migrate to new things without losing our social graph.

There are multiple variants of fediverse social media systems that are in the works and are API compatible with Mastodon.

This whole big messy business can grow and extend just like body morphology in the Cambrian explosion.

The #OmnibusBill passed & I just wanted to take this opportunity to thank ALL the amazing staffers in the US Congress. I have had the opportunity to get to know them these last 5 1/2 years. Thank YOU for pouring your blood, sweat & tears into your job. WE appreciate you!🙏

​Comcast Xfinity customers report their accounts being hacked in widespread attacks that bypass two-factor authentication. These compromised accounts are then used to reset passwords for other services, such as the Coinbase and Gemini crypto exchanges.

So, I'm finding out the hard way that if you start a new Mastodon server, nobody can find you.

This is a shameless request for some boosts so some of the bigger instances see me.

Zero percent surprised, but needed to be exposed regardless: How NYU's emergency rooms prioritize VIPs and the rich https://www.nytimes.com/2022/12/22/health/nyu-langone-emergency-room-vip.html

The owner of Madison Square Garden, Radio City Music Hall, and other NY venues uses facial recognition to identify people he excludes from his venues - including lawyers he doesn't like.

Unbelievable.
