People who used to be in cybersecurity, but now do different jobs, what do you do now? I'm trying to think of what the shape of my last half of my career could look like, but kinda keep drawing a blank. Both within tech/IT and outside of it. Or even if I needed to go back to school. Idk, just trying to think of other things that might be interesting.

Can I please get a: "Fuck Hillary Clinton"? Prem Thakker ツ ‪@premthakker.bsky.social‬ Hillary Clinton blames TikTok and “totally made up” videos for young people’s views on Israel and Palestine. She says social media influenced “not just the usual suspects” but also “young Jewish Americans who don’t know the history and don’t understand.”

Don't call them "narco terrorists", call them what they are. Capitalists.

Mild take: If it's an open world game, don't put unique items as something you can permanently miss if you don't find them in a storyline mission...

A lesser known Mastodon pro tip: Want to mute a conversation, but the mute conversation button isn't appearing on the post? The only way you can mute a conversation is on a post you have made in the conversation. But the secret part - Say you want to mute it without actually participating in the conversation: Reply to a post, set the visibility to "Private Mention", remove everyone's username from the post. Post it. Then you can click "mute conversation" on THAT post, and it silently mutes you from the conversation.

For those of you who do tech support for your family and friends over Thanksgiving - I'm not even joking: Installing adblockers is one of the best cybersecurity improvements you can do for them. Oh sure, patch their systems, remove bloatware, make sure Windows Defender or whatever is running, etc. But when ads are continuously poisoned with malware and phishing, blocking them from even seeing it in the first place will eliminate entire categories of risks.

The old adage: Everyone has a test environment. Some people are fortunate enough to have a separate production environment.
