Seeing 23andMe Implode is a particular joy. Not for the people that are losing their jobs, that sucks for anyone, but this company profits off the actual most sensitive data a human could ever hold. It should not exist and no other company like it should be allowed to exist. https://slashdot.org/story/24/01/31/1532255/23andmes-fall-from-6-billion-to-nearly-0?utm_source=rss1.0mainlinkanon&utm_medium=feed
Feeling feisty today! Ass holes! This should have been done, I dunno, 20 years ago. https://www.theregister.com/2024/01/29/icann_internal_tld/ #dns #internet
Ass holes! #remote work is here and it's not going anywhere. Companies that don't embrace remote work will be irrelevant sooner than later as talent votes with their feet. #ibm https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2024-01-29/ibm-to-managers-move-near-an-office-or-leave-company

“#Hackers backed by the #China government are targeting U.S. water treatment plants and electrical grids, strategically positioning themselves within critical infrastructure systems to "wreak havoc and cause real-world harm to American citizens and communities," FBI Director Christopher Wray is expected to tell Congress Wednesday.”
Hello everyone. I know that these are tough times for many people. If you derive value from the fediverse and have the means to do so, please consider donating to support your instance. Most instances rely on donations to pay the bills (infosec.exchange and friends cost over $3000/month to host).
Instructions on how to donate are generally available on your instance's "about" page (for example: https://infosec.exchange/about)
Also, I firmly believe that access to the fediverse should not be tied to one's ability to pay, and I think it's even more important for those in difficult situations to maintain the social connections that the fediverse provides, so (at least in my view) donations are welcome, but not required in any way.
And for those people who already donate, my hats off to you. You make the fediverse possible.
