AHH. We're getting another GITS Anime from the director of Standalone Complex??? LIFE IS NOT ALL THAT BAD
(Also is it just me or is "coder" possibly the worst word for "software engineer"?)
https://arstechnica.com/security/2017/04/rash-of-in-the-wild-attacks-permanently-destroys-poorly-secured-iot-devices/ i love the forkbomb thrown in at the end of the commands. Someone's spent some time on Wikipedia, clearly.
What you're referring to as Mastodon, is in fact, GNU social/Mastodon, or as I've recently taken to calling it, GNU social plus Mastodon.

obviously not like, the insect
HAHAHAH LOOK AT ME NOW, BIRDSITE. A BIG GIANT TICK.
Also I keep getting Rapid7 pentesting ads on youtube. I'm an actual pentester. I do not need to hear more stories about how MemeLord1337 sent an email to $company HR titled "please look at cute_kittens.png.exe" and got a shell.
Let's test youtube links. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tGLS7RulpTA
Oh nice, @razor1911 is here.
There is an underground #infosec battle going on between tweeting and tooting

It's kinda weird to think about a social network where businesses own their own presences, rather than relying on a capricious third party service like Twitter or Facebook. Imagine NBC or The Verge running a Mastodon instance for their reporters to toot from, or Bethesda operating an instance for PR and customer support. No more lost business when Facebook changes their algorithms again because they need more money from boosted posts.
Weird, right?
I think my favourite thing about this besides the lovely UI is the fact I can actually rant here, versus twitter's enforced 140 character snide comments.

I refuse to believe the terrible culture of the internet is just how things are now. We don't need a technical solution. We need a cultural solution.
Just be you. Don't try to be edgy or aloof or cool. Don't try to make money. Be real. Be nice. Connect with humans.
