@hyperreal one of these :blobcatthinking:

It's neat and I'm glad someone has made this available, but I guess I'm a little surprised there was much desire for it

Mastodon is full of queer people, communists, anarchists, and Linux nerds.

Honestly, some days, I felt like I was being asked to justify my product decisions to King Kandy

@hfinyow I had the same thought. The incident was real, however. Hosting provider followed up a few hours later to say what happened, that it was resolved, and precautionary measures to take.

Are there any Greater Boston nerds who want to learn trading?

https://trading.camp/ runs 3-day hands-on trading bootcamps, but they're mostly based in NorCal. If we can get a dozen or so folks together, they'll run a local camp.
