Facebook banned me for life because I created the tool Unfollow Everything. https://slate.com/technology/2021/10/facebook-unfollow-everything-cease-desist.html

Get off Facebook. Get off every Facebook service. Block Facebook. Don't work for Facebook. Don't provide services to Facebook. Find every way you can to get them out of your life and support others in doing the same.

They are ethically indefensible.

Welcome to fedi

Do I have any infosec/cybersec friends willing to talk to my undergrads and grads about how they got started in security, what kinds of security job(s) they've had, and how to get your first infosec job? Would be a Wednesday evening (NY time). We can arrange details.

90% of donations to the @libreoffice projects are coming from individuals.
Companies unfortunately do not contribute that much in economical or material way on an #OpenSource project that is the major barrier between freedom of choice and a full monopoly by Microsoft in the office productivity market.

Organisations should realise that a strong LibreOffice helps in creating a healthy competition and lower also their costs.

So, please, contribute in any way you can to help yourself.

I've been using a terminal-based plaintext email client for the last week. I'm taking joy in the way that it completely ruins all of the impact of marketing emails, revealing them as the jumble of tracking links that they are.

Battery free electronic devices? Cool! And hats off to the team for open sourcing the technology. techxplore.com/news/2021-09-b…

2. For security reasons, a password manager should never integrate with a web browser.
