Writing more about #LastPassBreach feels like beating a dead horse. But I had a look at the official statement again and it is highly misleading. I felt the need to provide some context that #LastPass is willingly omitting.

“Again, it seems that LastPass attempts to minimize the risk of litigation (hence alerting businesses) while also trying to prevent a public outcry (so not notifying the general public). Priorities…”

Truly bonkers to me that I now work at a job where I can’t wait to go back after leave.

I realize I’m lucky as hell. I’m also grateful as hell.

TBH, feeling slightly adrift on Mastodon b/c of the lack of bile and venom in my morning doomscroll compared to the birdsite. It's like stopping at a coffee shop on the way to work only to be told the espresso machine is bust and would I like a nice soothing chai latte instead.

If you move service every time the one you use gets breached, you'll only ever end up using a service that doesn't notify you of breaches. Whether you move or stay should be based on how they handle a breach, not the fact they had one.

It is important to remember what this day is about.

Let us praise cheeses.

He talked about electric cars. I don't know anything about cars, so when people said he was a genius I figured he must be a genius.

Then he talked about rockets. I don't know anything about rockets, so when people said he was a genius I figured he must be a genius.

Now he talks about software. I happen to know a lot about software and Elon Musk is saying the stupidest shit anyone's ever said, so when people say he's a genius I figured I should stay the hell away from his cars and rockets.

"I will call you... human"

He thought and purred.

Merry Xmas

We've made it to Christmas once more, after another strange year. Wishing you all a day of warmth, good food, and moments of joy, however that might look like to you, whether you celebrate Christmas, or are simply having your usual Sunday.

One of the things I would miss here on Mastodon was all of the alerts from my local infrastructure and government twitter accounts. These will likely take a very long time to make the migration.

With https://bird.makeup, you can create bot accounts that put those tweets in your Mastodon timeline. For instance, I follow the Washington State Patrol account for regional weather related road closures and accident reports:
