So many things wrong with this, where do I even start?
Note: This guy works at Microsoft as a Project Manager. #OpenSource
He says "Thought: It's time for @mozilla to get down from their philosophical ivory tower. The web is dominated by Chromium, if they really *cared* about the web they would be contributing instead of building a parallel universe that's used by less than 5%?"
Mozilla recommends a bunch of password managers in this blog post and none of them are Open Source. No Bitwarden, no Keepass. Only LastPass, Dashlane and 1password.
Now, while this isn't a big deal, and they're all excellent options, you'd expect that Mozilla would recommend some #OpenSource password managers as well.

My manager is receiving a promotion, and I will be getting a new one soon. I had a one-on-one with her.
Her lasting advice:
Don't be afraid to ask questions. Better to seek answers, than to do something wrong.

So I just found this site https://www.privacytools.io/ and wow its great for all things privacy related. There is also prism-break.org. Any others out there that I should know about?
I must say that I'm impressed with the active development of #Mastalab
There's an update every other day! @tom79@mastodon.social
Today I'm going to start learning #Python. It'll be the first programming language I learn seriously and something I'm going to learn because I want to, not because I have to. I'm excited.
I hope to be patient, persistent and hard working.

@aniket I always wondered about that. Microplastics are everywhere anyways. In the far future we will be seen as we now see the ancient Romans who used lead in everything, even edibles.
Study says that 3D printers can emit hazardous micro or nano particles which can embed themselves in your lungs permanently.
Ventilation is the key.

@aniket @hund I still think that in an ideal world a single identity is better for a lot of people - see the work @manton is doing with regard to this - https://manton.org/2018/11/07/microblog-mastodon.html - facilitating a unified identity that you own, of the type @you@yourdomain.com, where you're not dependant on the continued existence of a particular instance.
I'm new to the concept of Mastodon and instances, so here's the thing -
If there are multiple instances you want to engage in, do you create accounts on each of them or do you just follow people from other instances? Or does it just depend on how much you want to engage?
