PSA: feel free to shitpost as much as you want on Mastodon, there’s a fair chance it will get scraped and used to train AIs.

Why are CFP submissions so bad? There is a ton of info out there on what makes a good CFP, but instead I get two paragraphs of drivel. No proper abstract, minimal bio and what's an outline? And then people complain when they don't get accepted. <sigh>

The saddest thing about meeting other high-profile women and enbys in infosec is the part where you compare your lists of stalkers and chronic harassers.

A vote for AfD or the Rassemblement National is a vote for Putin at the European Elections this summer.

"The officer, with ties to the far-right AfD party, said he provided information to a Russian intelligence service out of fear of a nuclear escalation in Moscow's war in Ukraine.”

My employer #GitLab is hiring, specifically in the Security division. Security Identity Management is the area, so if you're into #Security and #IAM and you're qualified, apply. If not, a few other positions are available, feel free to poke around. Fully remote. I'm not shopping for a referral, I'm shopping for a work colleague, so apply!

The no-notice demise of the Messenger is the latest reminder that if you write something for someone else's website, the only way to be sure it's preserved is to save a copy yourself.

I have experience with this. My former employer deleted years worth of my blog to save a little money on server costs.

With the help of a smart friend and the Wayback Machine, some of it was recovered, but a lot is gone forever. (It's at bayosphere.com if you're interested...and ignore the BS no-https warning.)

We need a new word to describe the constant fear of leaving entire tech platforms and starting again every six months because they decided posting Swastikas doesn't violate their TOS

My daughter told me today that I'm cool. That the music I listen to is always cool. That my drawings are cool. That everything about me is cool.

As someone who spent her entire childhood being called a dorky nerdy loser, and experienced severe bullying all through middle and high school, I never even know what to say when my daughter tells me this. I still feel like the same socially awkward, introverted, worried dork I always was.

Tonight she told me "even the TV shows you watch are cool!"

I was watching Iron Chef.

I think this might actually be the first time in my life I've been more horrified by some of the left than the right. The Ukraine war came close-ish, with some factions of the left siding with Russia due to distrust of the US (which, fair enough), and then tankies apparently being confused as to whether Russia is still socialist or not. But all of that was balanced out by the right trying to undermine Ukraine funding in favor of the most stupid shit ever.

But this week a lot of leftists who support Palestine somehow stumbled past the point and went straight for glorifying one of the most horrific massacres in recent history, openly supporting Hamas, and even straight up calling for the elimination of Israel. I always thought the right had a monopoly on overt racism and unjust violence, but apparently if you substitute in words like "decolonization" you can get some of the left to go full Nazi too.

Got a question because I'm useless at business. I get a lot of emails from companies asking me to do webinars, interviews, be a podcast guest, etc. They never mention any payment (not just no payment amount, but no mention of it being paid at all). Then when I don't reply, they follow up later with "btw we can pay you" and it's always phrased like they simply forgot to mention that in the initial email. I understand me being responsible for negotiating my rate, but having to negotiate getting paid at all? Is this the norm or is this just unserious companies trying to see first if I'll work for free and I'm better to just not engage at all with them at all?

At tonight's #GOPDebate we heard plans to expand the death penalty, send troops into Mexico, ban lifesaving medical care for trans kids, burn more coal, and eliminate the Dept of Education.

Did I miss anything?
