It can be a hard but fun day. A really good way to network and improve your CV if just getting started or to give back if you've been around for a while.

It's not all about Cyber. But what can you do if not Cyber? How about learning about the Mushroom Lifecycle and what would be required to clone them. @tia568b.bsky.social can help you with that here:

3 hours 24 mins sleep and about to do the 2 hour drive to the office in the pitch black rain so I can join Teams meetings with people on different continents in an open plan hell hole.

Who’s hiring as this is a ridiculous way to pay my bills!

What the co-creator of DOGECOIN tweeted about crypto: β€œI believe that crypto is an inherently right-wing, hyper-capitalistic technology built to amplify the wealth of its proponents through a combination of tax avoidance, diminished regulatory oversight and artificially enforced scarcity…

The internet had the potential to make humans so much smarter and interconnected. Instead, it's dumbing us down and siloing us off. A real tragedy.

Somewhere there's an alternate universe where humankind has united to manage the precious dwindling resources needed to survive, find solutions to climate change and generally have a nice time, instead fighting over being slightly richer than each other.

I think it was around 2018-2019 when video calls became the norm for me, before that it was Skype for business, but anything involving a third party usually involved a voice bridge.

It’s crazy how quickly what we consider normal can change!
