Tired of Twitter's drama and direction. If you're looking for me, I'll be at moving forward. This account is sleeping.

Bye Tweeter. Me gone.

I'm now @remids on https://t.co/esEP2bK4VV. I'm seeing people I follow here slowly trickle there; when enough people are on that I've got a reasonable feed going, I'll be dropping this account. (Not deleting it, just not coming back.)

Trying to break into cybersecurity?

There are dozens of defensive security positions available for every "offensive security" position. Think pentesting sounds cool? You're not alone.

There's less competition, especially at entry level, in other areas of security. 1/3

@deAdder Long-ish time follower here, I've been seeing posts pretty much every day, I believe.

Whenever I get too hard on myself for a massive production mistake, I remember that one of the founders and CEO (at the time) of GitHub dropped the production database. Twice. 😂 We all make mistakes. Learn and move on.

On the waitlist for https://t.co/Oq41dBhkre. Like their vision, think I'll head over there once I get an account. Mastodon sounds like more effort than I care to put into a social media account.

@bonaventuresoft @tantramar I use that before giving anyone unsolicited advice 😁

As inoffensive as I try to be up here, looks like I've got my first Mute 🤷

@FYeomans It's ironic that you tweeted this 3 minutes after your comment regarding parody accounts.

@wadeperry1969 Sincere question: what's your hope, what's the end game? Would you like to see a safe injection site? Arresting drug users? Have police harass them until they start using in less visible areas?

Something to be wary of moving forward: As currently conceived, blue checkmarks will no longer confirm identity.

Want to call yourself Citibank Password Verification? Here's your blue tick, thanks for the $8. Want to say you're the Democratic Party of Wisconsin and announce you're abolishing the police? $8. Call yourself WXBM Local News Arkansas and invent a school shooting? Yours for $8

Dear @Hootsuite_Help - I've seen your updated policies pop-up and accepted it some 20-odd times in the past few days. Can we stop beating me over the head with it? Thanks.

[Jerry 🖖 @jerrynixon]

You and me, both.

TIL to truncate in t-sql you use the ROUND function.

@derekhat I watched 1 episode of BBT and couldn't stomach it. To me, it didn't feel like laughing at a joke, it felt like at people, who probably wouldn't be in on the joke.

@Gov_NB @premierbhiggs NB: "Partnering with pharmacies for NBers to get vaccinated". My wife and I (booster #2), and our teenagers (booster #1), online booking system: "There are currently no available appointments for your eligibility group in your location." Pandemic much?

@instagram I think I have an account already with my email, but I've lost the p/w. Try to sign up with my email: "Another account is using the same email". Try to reset my password by sending a login link to that same address: "No users found". Little help?

@KentBeck Love it! My personal favorite (I road cycle as a hobby) was: "he's really strong, but you'd never know it from cycling with him."

[Remi Despres-Smyth @remids]

@Popehat It's a sign of the world we live in that I have no idea whether you're serious or not. Because, maybe?
