Science mastodon: As we (re)build our community, what would you most like to see more of here? #neuroscience #psychology @cogneurophys

If your Mastodon feed feels empty, it's because you aren't following enough people. Unlike on other social media sites, there isn't an algorithm choosing content for you to see, you need to choose to see content for yourself. A good way to get started is to follow some hashtags for topics you find interesting, then follow some of the people posting there that you find interesting. You'll have a lively and engaging feed in no time!

If you listen to the news, you could be forgiven for thinking that everything is shit.

It’s not.

One example, Humpback Whale numbers are growing massively.

for a very specific part time audience

To all Mastodon-admins: seems like there's an attack on all instances by troll accounts. Servers get slow because of it.
They use thousands of subdomains of activitypub-troll.cf. My 'pull' queues skyrocketed.

I now blocked the domain activitypub-troll.cf and all is back to normal. Please check if you're hit too.

Tell the truth — wouldn’t you like your city better if it had more streets like this one in Amsterdam?

Is there *any* 13 year old tweet that has aged this well?

Here is an email I once sent to my realo telling them to fuck off.

If you’re having realo trouble let me know. I will help you tell them to fuck off.

I asked the chat bot from OpenAI to explain the TCP handshake via haiku…

Three-way dance begins

@hacks4pancakes @ghusk @hdm Reitinger's law is that the damage from breaches increases every year by multiplying the prior figure by the number of #Infosec professionals who say "cyber wake-up call."

There's misinformation floating around about Mastodon. Clarifying things:

1. Mastodon doesn't rely on volunteers. It's a registered non-profit that employs people. Kind of like how Wikipedia and Mozilla are non-profits that employs people.
2. Many instances are run by volunteers but not all.
3. Mastodon is just one part of the Fediverse. Benefits of decentralization is that anyone can build on open protocols.
4. Mastodon is big, but Flickr and Tumbler are bigger -- they're joining the Fediverse

I feel bad when I go to delete an app from my iPhone because they all start shaking with fear wondering which one is about to die.

Google has released Chrome 108.0.5359.94/.95 for Windows, Mac, and Linux users to address a single high-severity security flaw, the ninth Chrome zero-day exploited in the wild patched since the start of the year.

This week, LastPass, and its parent company GoTo, both published blog posts about their recent data breach: http://tcrn.ch/3ucMvBx

But if you search for GoTo's blog post in Google, you won't find it, because GoTo hid its breach notice from search engines using "noindex" code.

The cloud is just someone else's computer, power, cooling system, underwater sea cables, networking equipment, data center and the land it sits on, control plane with support for Terraform, insurance policies, roadmaps, and a whole lot of people to build, secure, monitor, and support all of the software that runs on top.

Not sure how I feel about this year's Spotify Wrapped

This old Garfunkel and Oates bit is so good.
