Them: "Mastodon is hard to use."
Me: _gets started easily_
#coops

Them: "The #fediverse is fragmented - hard to find anyone."
Me: _easily finds many folks here I know or enjoy_
👋

Them: "It's just white male tech nerds"
Me: _discovers fairly robust presence of non-white, non-male folks_
✊

Them: "It's set up so it's antiviral"
Me: _sees more interest in my thoughts here than ever on the birdsite_
🙃

Them: "Local servers are like isolated islands."
Me: _finds a canoe to explore archipelago_

Going from Twitter to Mastodon is like leaving a loud party to hang out on the stoop with the other misfits and I like it but I don't quite know how to act 👀

I publish on InfoSec.Exchange because my profession has subsumed my entire identity

This Thanksgiving, I’m thankful for all of you helpers.

I’m thankful for the people who have the spark to step in as bystanders and make a change when something isn’t quite fair or just.

I am thankful for the people who invest time and effort in making better community spaces like this one, as well as the conferences and meetups we love.

I am thankful for the people who challenge my comfort zone to tell me about inequity in the world, about my privilege, and who challenge me to grow and be a better human - even when it is hard.

I am thankful for the people who have expanded my worldview and helped me see the scope, variation, and beauty of humanity.

I am thankful for the people who remember to tell others they are valued and cared for.

I’m thankful for the people who make life more fun, and make people laugh on the hard days.

Finally, I’m thankful for the kindness of the community here, and your willingness to see me as a human with foibles, wants, and flaws-and not as a social media page.

A very happy Thanksgiving to you and your families, whether by blood or by heart.

Does anyone have a privacy contact for Chemist Warehouse here is Australia? Found an annoying issue leading to customer private info being leaked around prescriptions.

My kindergarten-age kid asked a great question I've been pondering:

Since pain is useful and helpful — it's our body saying that we need to do something to care for our health and safety, then why do we also have resistant feelings and thoughts around judging pain itself as bad?

Hello! Please boost this photo of my dog so my new server reaches better federation with the #fediverse! Danke.

Are those of you here in the #Fediverse aware of the amazing resource that is https://mynoise.net?

No?
Let me introduce you.

It has a medieval village #background #noise environment with toggles you can use to increase or decrease the blacksmith shop and market and horse clops (among many others).

Oh, you want a coffee shop? Sure thing.
Rain? Thunderstorm? Gotcha.
Generic white noise?
RPG thrills? Of course.
Tame that #tinnitus? Yes!

Check it out!
