I'm a retired, General Officer level U.S. Army Intelligence leader who's been in INFOSEC since the 1980s, when it was mostly mainframes & Novell. Certifications came after, when I was off leading in the PSYOP / counternarrative side of IO, so I don't have any & cannot claim to be any sort of technical expert--but I can still (in sha' Allah) talk intelligently with folks who ARE technical experts & help connect such discourse to strategic outcomes.
I'm also coming onboard as Associate Director of an academic Global & National Security Policy Institute, a Twitter refugee sold on the fediverse as the most resilient architecture to avoid getting co-opted by billionaires or governments, an observant Muslim & aspiring alim, and a senior EDUCATIONAL Technology scholar.

More states need to do this, with a window for folks to rediscover their conscience and resign (as long as they're not personally implicated in crimes against the Constitution or #CrimesAgainstHumanity).
Unrepentant #Sturmtrumpers need never to work again--least of all in the public service.
Cancel the #ICEtapo. End the #TurdReich.

Surah Aal-e-Imran, Verse 173:
الَّذِينَ قَالَ لَهُمُ النَّاسُ إِنَّ النَّاسَ قَدْ جَمَعُوا لَكُمْ فَاخْشَوْهُمْ فَزَادَهُمْ إِيمَانًا وَقَالُوا حَسْبُنَا اللَّهُ وَنِعْمَ الْوَكِيلُ
Men said to them: "A great army is gathering against you": And frightened them: But it (only) increased their Faith: They said: "For us Allah sufficeth, and He is the best disposer of affairs."
(English - Yusuf Ali)

I get this; I really do. *I* first went online in 1985, back when the Internet was basically just a shotgun wedding of BITNET (big universities' research network of mainframes) with ARPANet (DoD's research network of mainframes).
Even after it became the Web as we know it, in the early '90s (my company command, bizarrely, was a tiger team leading its infusion into the Army's Intelligence curricula), it still seemed so much more productive and so much more fun.
Then came #enshittification. Dammit.

RE: https://wandering.shop/@cstross/115967024834089192
At a time when fascism has infiltrated Western democracies globally.
Unlike many other nations, we're not accustomed to needing VPNs to protect our quest for reliable news from our own governments, on penalty of incarceration or extrajudicial execution.
But that's where we are, or soon could be. Guard your rights now: once given up, theyre really, REALLY hard to get back.
Quoting
RE: https://social.vivaldi.net/@LonM/115966748145817371
UK PEOPLE: this is REALLY IMPORTANT. If the government bans under-16s from using VPNs, then logically they must intend to REQUIRE AGE VERIFICATION FOR ALL VPN USE. Which will affect adults too!
*Your* privacy and right to anonymous web browsing is at risk!
