@privacyguides How much is the version that strips out all the homo- and trans-phobia?

Recently, someone said to me that I shouldn’t publicly share that I support #LGBTQ plus causes, because it might “make me look bad”.

That’s bull crap. Now I’m just gonna support the LGBTQ community •••EVEN HARDER•••!

@da_667 Is there a Catte version of this meme? Maybe I should make one.

Like a flushing toilet?

March is #ColorectalCancer Awareness month, and all this month I'll be pestering you about getting a #colonoscopy

In today's news, NBC shares new information about the increasing occurrence of rectal cancer.

FACTS:
- Colorectal cancer is the #1 cancer killer for people younger than 50
- Colorectal cancer rates in people under 65 has increased from 27% of new cancer detections, to 45% just in the last 30 years

I survived, but a lot of people don't. Chadwick Boseman (#BlackPanther) and James Van Der Beek did not.

Please, PLEASE read this article, and get screened for colon #cancer!

“Copilot will automatically appear on supported Samsung TVs, where you’ll find it within the Samsung Tizen OS homescreen, Samsung Daily Plus, and Click to Search.”

Brains Of Mastodon, I need more help. Things are going great with my church's LGBTQ+ support and fellowship group. WE DOIN IT

We're now trying to think of how to foster secure and private group communication among our group. I don't think I have it in me to set up a Listserv, if that's even "private". I thought of like a Signal group chat, but I don't know if that can be easily managed.

What are people doing for stuff like this? Thanks in advance.

@GossiTheDog I just don’t understand this… people mostly hate talking to voice response units (VRU) and this is literally the same thing.

When I call a company, the first thing I do is try to figure out how to get routed to a human.

Psychologically, it seems to me that when a company tries to force me to be screened by a bot/ #AI/recording, it means they don’t care about me even a little bit.

This story is a warning about the rapid adoption of #GenAI in #healthcare.

My local #school system, affected by the #PowerSchoolBreach is migrating to a new platform called Infinite Campus.

How, in the Year of Our Lord 2025, does this system not support ANY KIND of multi-factor authentication???

But don't worry, according to their website, they absolutely take my security and privacy seriously...

This may not be THE authoritative source, but it’s what I’ve seen so far about the upcoming iOS 26/macOS 26 and “liquid glass”.

Wow. From an #accessibility viewpoint this is just horrible. I’ll be very interested to see to what degree the transparency and parallax stuff can be turned off.

“Passkeys for Normal People” by @troyhunt is a good article if you’re looking to better understand #passkeys and how they are set up, managed, and used.

@GossiTheDog We can all LOL at this, but with seriousness how can a company make such a ridiculous statement?

@GossiTheDog Bro you act like following the law in the U.S. is a thing or something bro
