@matthiasott@mastodon.socialFinally found a really good solution for placing a display directly below my camera (with the Elgato Prompter attached to it) so that I can still move my desk up and down without covering the cam: I mounted a cheap monitor arm to a light stand. 🤓

@hikingdude@mastodon.socialTo me, encryption and (data) privacy has always seemed both cool and nerdy.
Nowadays, however, I think:
What if/when an extreme party gets the majority in government? Would I want this government to easily gain access to my communications?
Can we please go back to cool & nerdy again? 🥺

We spoke with a driver (I got his number from Joy), and he asked for $2,000 USD just for transportation. The cost of a tent is around $1,500 USD, and renting the land also costs a large amount.”

@inthehands@hachyderm.ioShoddy excuse 1: “Maybe it was technically a work device, provided by and owned by the employer, and she shouldn’t have used it for personal things”
Then both the employer and the tech vendors involved should have made it not only possible but easy by default for her to quarantine her personal use.
The onus for that kind of opsec should not fall to individuals. That’s just ducking accountability, the kind of cognitive outsourcing large players use to dodge the costs of running their own org.
This is basically “we don’t need to install railings on our corporate balconies; employees just need to never fall off.”
