Sleep well, America!
“#Hackers backed by the #China government are targeting U.S. water treatment plants and electrical grids, strategically positioning themselves within critical infrastructure systems to "wreak havoc and cause real-world harm to American citizens and communities," FBI Director Christopher Wray is expected to tell Congress Wednesday.”
Hello everyone. I know that these are tough times for many people. If you derive value from the fediverse and have the means to do so, please consider donating to support your instance. Most instances rely on donations to pay the bills (infosec.exchange and friends cost over $3000/month to host).
Instructions on how to donate are generally available on your instance's "about" page (for example: https://infosec.exchange/about)
Also, I firmly believe that access to the fediverse should not be tied to one's ability to pay, and I think it's even more important for those in difficult situations to maintain the social connections that the fediverse provides, so (at least in my view) donations are welcome, but not required in any way.
And for those people who already donate, my hats off to you. You make the fediverse possible. 
@rbreich One of the dumber of the dumb things they continue to dumb.

@arstechnica Yeah, it’s pretty bad. The non-combat scenes were quite boring. The characters feel off putting. Felt like a retelling of Memphis Bell, but with more CGI and more bleh scenes. Hanging in there because of the pedigree of Tom/Stephen, but yeah, not awesome.

@cdlhamma Yes, no D will vote for her. But TONS of Rs would.
After two contests in the 2024 GOP presidential primaries, Trump has 20 bound delegates versus 91 indictment counts.
@NewsDesk I feel like any coverage of primary contests without highlighting with big massive underscores “turnout” is giving us and the candidates some massive misunderstandings
@cdlhamma I think she will once “he” becomes the official nominee
I think it’s about time for Liz to step into the fray. #uspol
That was unexpected, and welcome. A remarkably cogent response from a otherwise steaming pile of…oh never mind. https://flipboard.social/users/NewsDesk/statuses/111801578879106274
@MissingThePt Yeah, clarify for me - did he actually say that?

The kids were guessing the ingredients of my stroganoff sauce.
Thinking about salt, I gave them a hint: "It's very small, you can't see it, but it's present in almost all food."
Said the 7yo: "Microplastics!"
