Who is going to GrrCON this year? I'll be there rocking orange this year, super excited to volunteer and give back. I can't wait to see friends and learn all the things!

gn0w1 A month and some change to @GrrCON again. Hope you’ll be able to join us for our annual foray into putting together a hacker con that doesn’t suck. As usual, I’ll be in neon yellow and doing prizes / tattoo tokens for people who help make the con fun for everyone. Come say hi. #infosec #hackercon #grrcon
alissaI'm starting a project to make a badge for the next DEF CON. If you have any tips or suggestions for fab, drop em! I'd love some input
Mike PirnatFive days before a special election that should be illegal, voting locations for tens of thousands of Ohioans have been temporarily changed (presumably to make it harder for us to defeat this awful ballot issue). If you’re in Ohio, make sure you know where to vote! #Ohio #Issue1

Headed away from the screens and towards heat and relaxation for a few days! I'll miss the team, but the mental health break will be awesome! Getting to spend time with family and no cell service? WIN

I'm balancing my current role and the promotion to managing a different team during the transition, and boy am I whipped! Luckily a friend recommended a tap takeover at a local bar. Founda Breakfast Stout and Rubaeus NITRO for the win! So glad to relax for an hour before I dig back in. I'm told "you don't have to work 12 hours". I agreed, but I hate being behind constantly....
Random question/need - Anyone know a somewhat easy way to access data on a 5.25" disk? I have a client who dusted off a few floppies and want to access them. I'm thinking a conversion service is the simplest way. I'd love to get your thoughts!
Katie Moussouris (she/her)🥜👋🏼As a bootstrapped founder I’ve certainly had to make staffing reductions to deal with contractions in the market before.
BUT — These tech multibillion dollar companies who saw record profits in the pandemic laying off thousands?
Not at all the same.
Not even in the same universe.
They are not cutting Executive pay or bonuses, which they could easily do if they were indeed running short on cash for regular payroll, which they aren’t.
It’s a straight up labor rights spirit crushing move & I wish they weren’t forcing people to sign their rights away like Elon did so the workers can’t seek class action relief.
We need tech workers unions the same as we need unions for all workers.
That’s right. I’m a CEO who is in favor of labor unions.
Because up until almost 7 years ago, I was a wage earning regular worker just like everyone else, PLUS I deeply understand business cash flow from a profit-driven company perspective.
I just choose to run my company with empathy for the workers, even in times of downsizing due to real market constrictions.
To all the workers in any industry who have been laid off due to mega billion dollar corporate greed, or for real market constrictions, I’m so sorry.
It’s not your fault.
You deserve better, especially more than what these profit giants gave you. Take a good break if you can and know your work is valuable.
