Jack of all trades IT related. Emphasis on cloud, cyber and AWS in particular (although I dabble out of professional necessity in the other two main cloudy flavours).

Started off my computing journey programming the TI 99/4A (we weren't rich enough yet to afford a C64) from magazines. Amiga lover till the very end.

@Viveka @BernardSheppard @AusSocialMods you're completely wrong. It's the tone, just like the tone of your response here. I can handle a policy that says write to the effect of "we are inclusive, but not to these groups or institutions because we believe they contravene rights and inclusiveness". But adding a snide throwaway at the end betrays a lack of maturity that undermines the cause. Anyway, best of luck, I'm out
@KarenWyld @oscarjiminy @AusSocialMods you seem to be implying that because I point out that I'm not completely comfortable with the mods effectively saying that *all* law enforcement officers, including those that are members of minority communities, are an evil that is not welcome, that I am not progressive. Got it.
I can see that Mastodon has jumped the shark into birdsite-territory levels of abuse. Mods on my instance made a statement, I respectfully suggested I wasn't comfortable with the statement. In return I've been accused (by other users, not the mods) of being a racist and told I should leave the instance. C'est la vie
@dprk_ebooks are you a mod on this server?
@BernardSheppard @AusSocialMods exactly. The message is clumsy in my opinion
@oscarjiminy @AusSocialMods basically parroting an ACAB line lacks nuance, which reminds me of the trash talk I thought we were leaving behind on #birdsite
@steven is a nice thought in theory but we tried all of that in Melbourne, got to over 95% double-vaxxed, and even included over 200 days of lockdown, Still never reached C0. People are the weak link and the virus still always breaks out.
@AusSocialMods tbh I'm not really sure how I feel about this. It feels like a blunt instrument approach
