NEW: People affected by the cyberattack on Fidelity National Financial, which hit many subsidiaries, have no idea what's going on.
One subsidiary is calling it a "catastrophe."
A woman who sold her house said she doesn't "know where my money is at."
Another one said "everything is shut down and no one can pay the mortgage and you can't get them on the phone."

Hi everyone, I'm a totally blind electronic Musician. I'm putting out the Call for #AudioDevelopers who are #ios conversant to come and work on a very special open source project with me. The project would be an open source groove box for everyone running on iOS but built with a focus on accessibility and voice over screen reader compatibility. If you can help reach out. reposts for this would be much appreciated thank you very much :-) #Techno #ElectronicMusic

Good morning friends, it's Tuxedo Tuesday at my house. Mr Minx, Oreo and Penguin were all checking each other out in the basement this morning. Apparently just being another tuxedo cat gives her bonus points with my boys. As you can see in the picture Penguin is done exploring the basement and is ready to "level up" and join the house. Oreo really wants to play...
Have a great day Masto people! 🙂👋

I recently had the opportunity to visit a small town bookstore and was elated to see the artwork created by bookstore employees for their categories.
Here's what I don't understand about American Fascism enthusiasts: how do they propose to keep the majority in line? 60 to 65 percent of the country is anti-fascist. And yes, you'd think that number would be higher, but it's not.
What DeNiro really said! "History isn't history any more," he said. "Truth is not truth. Even facts are being replaced by alternative facts and driven by conspiracy theories and ugliness."
He referred to students in Florida being told slaves developed skills "for their personal benefit", and said the entertainment industry "isn't immune to this festering disease".
I am going to die on this hill because it is very steep and I am incredibly out of shape.
On 28 November 1919, Faye Schulman, photographer and Jewish resistance partisan, was born in Lenin, Poland (now Belarus). In 1942, the Nazis murdered 1,850 Jews in the Lenin ghetto, leaving only Faye and 25 others alive, making Schulman take and develop photos of the massacre. Covertly she made copies of the photographs for herself. She soon fled and joined the partisan resistance, serving as a fighter and nurse. While on a raid in Lenin with her unit, Schulman managed to retrieve her camera equipment, and then began documenting the resistance movement, developing her photos under blankets. "I want people to know that there was resistance. Jews did not go like sheep to the slaughter. I was a photographer. I have pictures. I have proof." Schulman survived the war and moved to Canada, eventually passing away on April 24, 2021, aged 101.
Sports Illustrated has been making up fake AI authors, claiming they are real, then deleting them when asked and offering no formal comment, editorial note, or other response.
They’ve also been publishing AI generated content by people who don’t exist with zero disclosure https://futurism.com/sports-illustrated-ai-generated-writers
Ada Lovelace's notes were labelled alphabetically from A to G. In Note G, she describes an algorithm for the Analytical Engine to compute Bernoulli numbers. It is considered to be the first published algorithm ever specifically tailored for implementation on a computer, and Ada Lovelace has often been cited as the first computer programmer for this reason. The engine was never completed and so her program was never tested. via @wikipedia
Mostly reclusive and carrying slightly damaged goods. A survivor by some accounts. Definitely in need of much therapy. ;)
Staunchly anti-fascist
Bear in mind that, while I may "like" your "toot", about a person, event or particular topic, if it links to the "bird-site" I will no longer boost and inadvertently contribute to their grift. Everyone has a choice and a part to play when crimes go unpunished.
