Today in 1876, Taqulittuq passed away from tuberculosis. With her husband Ipirvik, she helped various explorers survive on their Arctic expeditions. She played a critical role in Arctic exploration that is often forgotten.

35 years ago this morning, at 8 o’clock, I went out to buy the day’s paper. I remember it pretty well! It was the day I transitioned, and the first time I’d gone out as *me* in the daytime. Less than 20 feet from the front door, two of my neighbours were having a catch-up.
I was greeted with a cheery “Good morning!” followed a heartbeat later with an equally cheery “What do we call you now?” as they looked me up and down. “Naomi”, I said, and told them what was happening.
LINUX MINT 21.1 Vera is WINDOWS, and I'm fine with that! https://tilvids.com/videos/watch/fb46bddd-1f75-4caf-80cd-c9586e90ed18
Le piratage de LastPass était finalement plus grave qu'annoncé initialement.
Les voleurs ont TOUS les mots de passe de certains comptes, heureusement chiffrés, mais il ne leur manquerait que la méthode de chiffrement pour les décoder et Hop! Le tour est joué.
It's very disheartening to see that in the space of a month, the majority of images on my feed went from being described to having not even one sentence as a description. I started ID-ing on tumblr but #Mastodon really encouraged me to make it an actual habit.
Please, if you're able to, add descriptions to the pics you post.

I wrote about the “Dick’s Sporting Goods” Yeti cooler scam, why it has slipped past Google’s most sophisticated machine learning tools, and what it means for the future of email spam https://www.wired.com/story/email-scam-dicks-sporting-goods-yeti-cooler/
I hope that everyone in #Canada affected by the #winterstorm is staying safe and warm! Driving to work this morning was a torturous affair and now we’ve added #FreezingRain to the mix! It’s gone quiet but the #weather forecast says it’ll get bad again.
Fun times

Seeing signs of this already with the rise of TikTok: “By the end of 2023, Twitter no longer sets the daily news agenda by default for the entire US press. This will come as an enormous relief to many publishers, who have long wished their reporters wouldn’t spend so much time tweeting anyway" ~ @caseynewton

wow. facial recognition stopped a mom from going to see the Rockettes at MSG — because she works for a firm with a client suing the arena.
Modern work does not “build character”.
Modern work destroys bodies, minds, and souls.
#Modernwork fractures families, friendships, and #communities.
The time left over for most of us is insufficient to salve those wounds.
Modern #work is, quite simply, a particularly brutal madness which must end if our claims of caring about human #happiness can be taken seriously in any way at all.

For anyone wondering, I'm still unable to access Twitter until I delete this tweet, which is factual journalism that doesn't even break the location rule Twitter enacted a few days ago. The account isn't marked as suspended anymore, but I can't use it or see tweets from people I follow. Using Mastodon exclusively for now and actually really enjoying it.
