Now that's pretty cool, actually! Respect the hustle, am I right? #phishing #infosec

@mttaggart

LinkedIn was down. A lot of people were panicking.

But rather than panic, I saw an #opportunity.

Using all of my strength I ran to the nearest LinkedIn datacenter. I was able to gain access because I made a #personal #connection with the security guard. I actually invested in their ceramics business while I was talking to them.

Once I’d gained access to the servers I was able to deploy a fix I’d written using ChatGPT #AI #genAI.

I fixed LinkedIn, and walked out of the datacenter where everyone was applauding.

I say this not to brag or show off, but to share a story of how you have to show #leadership in the moment, and step up when you can. The CEO of LinkedIn called me that night to thank me. #influencer #hustle #horseownership

@savjee I never wanted so physical in a world with everything to do with virtuality. Loved your work!

The turkey, the bird meat that some Westerners eat during Christmas, that Americans and Canadians eat on their Thanksgiving Day, that in Mexico we call guajolote (from its name in Nahuatl/Aztec)... has names related to countries in several countries. languages: a peru bird, a Turkish bird, an Indian chicken, a Roman rooster... when in reality was central American with the aztec name meaning "old monster" #turkey #thanksgiving

The word "subscription" has been absolutely abused.

To me, it used to be like this:

Subscribe to a magazine. Magazines are delivered to you. You pay per issue. If you unsubscribe, you get to keep all the ones you already got.

But now, it's more like this:

Subscribe to a streaming service. You can listen to music or watch movies. You pay for access. If you unsubscribe, you lose access to everything.

That’s P13 and the end of qualifying for Lewis. Traffic and ever-changing conditions didn’t help. 😞

Things that are not «features» of an app:
- The license
- The technologies it uses
- The fact that it’s simple
- The application it’s an alternative to
Your app should be compelling on its own. What makes it worth using? How can it help people? Highlight those things instead!

You are not responsible for other people’s failing business models.

Adblockers are a safety measure on the modern internet. Do your part: help everyone get more adblocking.

@taco spot became pointless after they interfere with prices. Now it is just marketing material for going "cost efficient"

Also on a personal note, I am back to playing #tennis, which I dearly missed. Hopefully in several weeks I will be up to speed
