I only use Twitter for following various infosec people to keep up with the industry. Looks like some of them are trying out mastodon and mentioned https://infosec.exchange so I registered there this morning without any issue. I have no idea what the pros and cons are of registering on particular servers are but I have a feed of a few people to scroll through now /shrug

Any suggestions for good follows there? I can't see people or their content without signing up and I'm already signed up elsewhere. Would like some good infosec feeds.

I am loving sick of people poo poo talking ketchup and iceberg lettuce. They are perfectly good for what they are and a hot dog with ketchup on it is completely decent. Is it the best way to go? No, but sometimes you want simple food. You goddamn people are the reason that all the beer tastes like Pine Sol now. Coffee costs twenty dollars and there's kale EVERYWHERE.

I replace iceberg lettuce with chopped china (napa) cabbage, works great everywhere iceberg does IMO.

Cabbage has that bitter brassica taste. I like it, sure, and romaine's great, but iceberg is juicy, sweet, and has a really crisp crunch that is unbeatable on a burger.

I'm not really a fan of ketchup/mayonnaise/etc so iceberg adds a nice chunk of moisture per bite without making the bread itself damp

e: for $8 a month

While there are some classical fanbois and classical haters of the variety you described, in regards to Elon, just as there are with other super-famous people, I think in Elon's case, there is also a whole separate aspect in addition to just that alone.

And that is, what I would refer to as "the proxy war".

Much like the Vietnam war was more than merely a war between North Vietnam and South Vietnam, and was also a proxy war between The U.S./West (capitalism, freedom, democracy) vs USSR (Marxism, oppression, totalitarianism, torture chambers, gulags, etc), with Vietnam serving as the proxy point of battle to see if we could stop the spread of the Marxists as they clearly wanted to keep expanding, if we didn't get in their way, and eventually try to conquer the whole world.

In a similar way, that's what is going on with the pro-Elon vs anti-Elon thing.

A large chunk of the anti-Elon crowd don't even know or care much about Elon himself. He just functions as a figurehead or symbol of sorts, to them, as they are by and large, leftists, Marxists, etc, who hate capitalism, billionaires, and so on, indiscriminately. So, since he happens to be the richest and most famous of all the billionaires right now, he's badguy #1 in their eyes, regardless of what good things he is doing, or any of that stuff.

And on the flip side, you have the counter-proxyists fighting against those proxy-fighters from the opposing side, as well.

Now, all of that probably sounds pretty exotic and wild and ridiculous and so on, if you haven't been paying close attention. But, it's actually not. I think I'm actually correct about this dynamic genuinely being there, and being a large chunk of what's going on with all of this.

Arugula is called rocket in most English-speaking countries so he's probably down with it for that reason alone.

Not seeing a ton of activity yet but Kevin Beaumont is solely posting on mastodon for a week and Leslie Carhart is posting a bit but she seems to plan to stay on Twitter for a bit. Kevin is “reblogging” a fair bit from other people so I’ll be checking them out to see if it’s anyone I want to follow.

If a company fires you and gives you severance, so you lose that severance if the same company contracts with you as a consultant?

For others searching, made a correction above.

Looks like you can search by the first part only and don't have to include the server, even when searching from a different server. Thought I'd tried that earlier and didn't work, but then I also just found out what the grenade icon means next to usernames, so probably a me problem

What I’ve heard is that these people are still technically employed for two months (to meet the WARN act requirement) and then get a month of severance.

So getting asked to come back into the office is kind of a dilemma. If you say no, I assume they can just fire you with no severance.

They have had their access to email, tools, etc locked out. They aren't still "technically" working.

There's no way that stands up in court.

On Friday, you inform an employee in writing they're laid off with 3 months severance.

On Monday, you inform them they're back on the job, and if they refuse, they're fired without severance.

I'm no lawyer, but there's no way that flies.
