“We notice you are using an ad blocker…”

Yes, and I notice you are using a few dozen trackers. Turn off the trackers and I will look at your ads. Until then, we are at an impass.

Hey folks, a quick announcement: we’re not going to keep doing the monthly Small is Beautiful streams going forward.

Instead, I’ll be doing impromptu streams and releasing recordings of new features, etc., as I add them to Kitten, Domain, etc., and Laura might join me for some of those.

We’re both very busy so we’re trying to make the best use of our time.

You can find previous recordings at: https://small-tech.org/videos/

HOW TO SURVIVE THE HEATWAVE:
1. Stay hydrated.
2. Have an ice cream cone.
3. Dismantle the fossil fuel industry which is literally burning the planet for the short term profit of a vanishingly small capitalist class.
4. Wear loose clothing.

One only has to follow a few BIPOC folk on here to see the racist hostility toward #BlackMastodon

It's completely unacceptable and white people should call it out every time they witness it.

It's been about a week since this happened so I'm probably cool-headed enough to talk about it. First a little background info.

A sales person from Offensive Security (https://www.offsec.com/) has been trying to reach out to me for days. First by work email, which I ignored, then through my personal LinkedIn account, which I also ignored.

Then, last week, my son texts me and says, "some guy called me looking for you." I told him I was your son and he said he would try to email. I know that absolutely no one in my professional circle has my son's personal cell number, so I asked him to send me the number that called him.

I call the number back and it's the sales guy from Offensive Security. I immediately asked him how he got my son's number and found out it was part of a ZoomInfo (https://www.zoominfo.com/) record for me. I told him to immediately delete any record he has with my son's information.

I then let him know in no uncertain terms that his company was using some shady data gathering practices if they had my son's cell number and because of that I will personally never do business with OffSec again. I also made it clear that he should never reach out to me again.

Even though I hold the #OSCP and #OSCE certifications and even though they were a career changer for me and for my colleagues, I will no longer do business with their company.

🚨NEWS: Amid record-breaking heat, Republicans are introducing legislation to block any president from declaring a climate emergency.

Fossil fuel donors funneled more than $5 million to the bill sponsors — and some of the lawmakers are oil/gas investors. https://www.levernews.com/new-gop-bill-would-curb-bidens-power-to-fight-climate-change/

This is a fair snapshot:

“'The Fediverse community has been jolted into motion—due to fear and loathing of Meta, and also excitement...There are furious meetings. Grants being applied for. Pull requests. Pushes for better security, better user experience. Better everything.'...others just want Meta out."
