Have you ever interacted with the website of another Mastodon server and found yourself having to re-enter your username and password, again and again?

There's a new web browser extension called FediAct which allows you to log in with your account once, and then you never have to log in again.

You can install it from Firefox Addons and the Chrome Webstore, including Android versions. There's more info about it at:

Happy #TrekTuesday to my Trekkie friends.

I had a great conversation today with Rob Barnett @RobBarnettMedia@twitter.com about his book, finding a job, our long histories in radio and more. Podcast, video, links here https://nicolesandler.com/12-13-22/

It was appropriate to punch Nazis in 1941, and it's still appropriate in 2022.

Small scoop that I'm breaking here first. InfraGard, a program run by the U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) to
build cyber and physical threat information sharing partnerships with the
private sector, this week saw its database of contact information on more than
80,000 members go up for sale on an English-language cybercrime forum.
Meanwhile, the hackers responsible are communicating directly with members
through the InfraGard portal online -- using a new account under the assumed
identity of a financial industry CEO that was vetted by the FBI itself.

Breakthroughs in nuclear fusion only happen if you have a government that promotes science—not talking snakes, miracles, and Ivermectin.

People on the other site keep telling me that Mastodon is just an echo chamber... which... is not at all how I'm experiencing it. Lots of people seem willing to disagree with me and make their disagreements clear.

They just don't suggest that I don't deserve to live when they do. And that seems healthier.

If it's true that the EU has forced Apple to open up ios devices to outside app stores, this is a huge and important change.

It should have been done long ago in the US, but our lawmakers love monopolies and cartels.

Booing a billionaire in public is always ethically appropriate

Elon Musk continues to use his platform on Twitter to spread dangerous rightwing disinformation, most recently taking a swipe both at the trans community and Dr. Fauci.

In response, Dr. Fauci clapped back with a brutally accurate description of Musk's Twitter.

Definitely worth a watch.

Corporate profits are at a 70-year high.

It wasn’t always like this.

Anyone… and I mean ANYONE want to hire my #Canadian wife in the United States? We’ll go anywhere.

I need to get back home, and as quickly as possible.

A green card application for us could take 12-20 months. A work visa would be ideal. She is Master’s level educated, works in #Banking w/ #Tech and #ProjectManagement experience.

I am chronically ill and need help asap.

Boosts appreciated.
