#Moderna is quadrupling the cost of #covid #vaccines, from $26/dose to $110-130. Moderna CEO Stephane Bancel calls the price hike "consistent with the value" of the #MRNA vaccines. Moderna's manufacturing costs are $2.85/dose, for a 4,460% markup on every dose:

@Raspberry_Pi been there, done that 😅

A 7zip file (new version, with extra hints)

I put a lot of work into talking to 1Password's Reddit community, and one thing I learned from them over the last week is that a large chunk of people have no idea that #1Password 8 can generate truly secure answers to traditional security questions for you.

That LastPass breach that was announced just before Christmas was pretty bad, eh?

Hold my beer... There's more.

Last year at @CypherCon I did a little talk on how to pick what #cybersecurity career niche to get into by discussing not just the sexy part of the roles, but also the annoying and frustrating parts of various jobs for some people. You can watch it here: https://youtu.be/KirVlFkviYk

The best EV ad I've seen.
Seriously, if EVs had been first to capture the car market, people would have laughed at the ICE.

Tusker has some great features.

* Consolidating notifications
* Keyword-based auto-expansion of CWs (e.g. "long post")
* Both icon actions, and left and right swipe actions.
* Digital wellness features
* Support for markdown and HTML on sites that have it (e.g. Mastodon instances with Glitch extensions). (I have some issues with how Glitch handles this--otherwise I'd be using it all the time).
* Local-only posts
* Posting drawings
* Drafts
* Source is available. Don't see a feature you want? Contribute it! :)

My only complaint is the photo picker, which is the older "collections"-based ones, and is unusable on my phone except for adding very recent photos (I have nearly 50K photos on my phone--if I can't search or browse by date, I'm doomed).

Other than that, I definitely recommend checking the app out.
