[admin] Hello, lovely people, I'm back! But only very briefly. I thought that I might keep this account going on an ad-hoc basis, but recent events have made me realise that promotion further use of what this platform has become is unconscionable.
@TheShowPBAFM@smiffy ...for your long-term support of this account. If you are elsewhere, would love to connect.
Oh, and happy new year? I'm losing the plot.
Cheers
@smiffy
[admin] The good news - I have been talking to some lovely people, and we plan to re-establish this concept on Mastodon/Fediverse. I was going to do it myself, which means it wouldn't happen. Now I am more an adviser, so very happy about that.

@TheShowPBAFM ...although weirder things have happened.
Whilst I far prefer the distributed, not owned by big business/billionnaire twats channels, I am seeing a far greater migration to BlueSky. I'm @smiffy there, as I am here, but just a lurker.
Cheers, and thank you...
[admin] Twitter's security is utterly broken.
A password reset through the help centre booted my phone off, so I am hoping it did so with the intruder, too.
Assuming it was an intruder, and not mis-routing someone else's traffic.
Anyway, this platform is BROKEN.

{admin] Hello, friends! Although this account is mothballed, I check notifications periodically and, today, was surprised to see someone replying to this account.
And even more surprised that it was a reply to recent tweets from this account.

[admin] I had no notifications of logins, but could see a history of access.
Immediate change of password, and enabled 2FA.
NOTHING in the permitted/signed in apps list, and that includes the session I was already running from my phone.
My message here is this...

@JPWeiland Just had a note about this at work (hospital lab). We are swamped with Covid/flu/RSV PCR tests and respiratory panels, and there may be a new work mask mandate forthcoming. Apparently numbers in our area are stable, for now.
