Merry Christmas, esp. to all the xmas tree cat owners out there. 😜
This morning, my team @Microsoft Digital Threat Analysis Center has our first post. Ukraine has fought an impressive defense, here’s what we are seeing “Preparing for a Russian cyber offensive against Ukraine this winter” - Microsoft On the Issues https://blogs.microsoft.com/on-the-issues/2022/12/03/preparing-russian-cyber-offensive-ukraine/
So the hotel we're staying at? The pipes burst this morning. Whole lobby is flooded and flood-ING. Most fun part is that the water SEEMS to be shorting out something in the electricals, so the fire alarm keeps going off and then dying in the middle.
Like, there ARE firefighters downstairs, but I can see them from our floor and they're literally just lounging against the chairs in the lobby. So that's about my assessment of the urgency of the situation as well 🤷🏿♂️
I never joined Twitter or really posted on Facebook. I'm somewhat of a private person, not wanting to expose myself to too much online. But Mastodon reminds me of "old internet" by being a bit clunky and complicated to use, which I hope selects for the people that I tend like.
I used to work as a software engineer in Silicon Valley, but moved back to Europe and wanted to do something different. Currently I'm studying physics and math, hoping to complete a master's degree by 2024.
I'm here looking for insightful or helpful interactions around topics
of #physics, #math and #programming. I'm also looking for a place to toot my horn a little about personal projects and things I've learned, since many of my interests are too esoteric for my real-life friends.
@freemo Merry Christmas, and thanks for playing Santa this year and giving all of us new users here the gift of QOTO! It's very much appreciated.
If you didn’t already leave when actual Nazi accounts were revived…
and you still didn’t leave when journalists were blocked for reporting on newsworthy events….
and you still didn’t leave when they started blocking people for just mentioning the competition…
Perhaps it’s time you considered leaving because your data is not safe with the oligarch who fired most of the employees who worked to keep it safe.
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.
