I heard someone discussing this today: https://bankgreenwood.com/

It is not a bank, judging by its non-membership in the FDIC, but it is providing financial services targeting Black and Hispanic communities.

Oddly, #GSA is sending me links for training as a purchasing agent / acquisitions specialist. They’re not even my agency, and that’s not my specialty.

Logged into #GitHub for the first time in years. It immediately asked me to verify my e-mail address (the same one I've had and verified with them years ago). I'm going to have to create another address (a public one) to use, so I can generate new #GPG keys.

Going to have to put something up there for job-hunting purposes. I'll use it as a backup or something, so I've got content there, but whatever I do is not entirely dependent on their goodwill. We all know that we shouldn't willingly give corporations the ability to control us, but I'm hoping to be one of the few that acts on this knowledge.

Remember #Ma.gnolia and #Del.icio.us? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gnolia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Delicious_(website)

1. Delicious (website)
  
  Delicious (stylized del.icio.us) was a social bookmarking web service for storing, sharing, and discovering web bookmarks. The site was founded by Joshua Schachter and Peter Gadjokov in 2003 and acquired by Yahoo! in 2005. By the end of 2008, the service claimed more than 5.3 million users and 180 million unique bookmarked URLs. Yahoo sold Delicious to AVOS Systems in April 2011, and the site relaunched in a "back to beta" state on September 27 that year. In May 2014, AVOS sold the site to Science Inc. In January 2016 Delicious Media, a new alliance, reported it had assumed control of the service.On June 1, 2017, Delicious was acquired by Pinboard, and the bookmarking service was discontinued in favor of Pinboard's paid subscription-based service. As of August 2019, the site is inactive. Functionality Delicious used a non-hierarchical classification system in which users could tag each of their bookmarks with freely chosen index terms (generating a kind of folksonomy). A combined view of everyone's bookmarks with a given tag was available; for instance, the URL http://delicious.com/tag/wiki displayed all of the...
2. Gnolia
  
  Gnolia, named Ma.gnolia until 2009, was a social bookmarking web site with an emphasis on design, social features, and open standards. In January 2009, Gnolia lost members' bookmarks in a widely reported data loss incident. It relaunched as a smaller service several months later and was ultimately shut down at the end of 2010. Users could rate bookmarks and mark bookmarks as private. Unlike its main competitor Delicious, Ma.gnolia stored snapshots of bookmarked web pages. One feature that distinguished it from other similar web sites was the group feature, which allowed several users to share a common collection of bookmarks, managed by a selected number of group managers. The design of the web site allowed for integration of the service into other applications via both a REST API and an API similar to the Delicious API. Open standards Ma.gnolia supported open standards and was often among early adopters of these standards. The bookmarking service provided support for several Microformats: In July and August 2006, among other information, support for MicroID and XFN was announced on the Ma.gnolia...

NZ Herald: #Sweden's herd immunity strategy has failed, hospitals inundated https://nu.federati.net/url/278422 [www nzherald co nz]

That's silly. Even when they were first talking about herd immunity, it was expected that 60%-80% of the population would have to have been infected before there were noticeable protective effects.

AFAIK, no nation on earth is anywhere near that point yet, and that's even without the possibility of re-infection.

It's more likely that their strategy wasn't about reaching herd immunity, but about using only techniques they believe are both effective and non-invasive.

The last few days, I've been too busy preparing for Thanksgiving to apply to any job openings. Going to try to catch up today.

If you take out all the filters, #CalJobs generally has minimum wage retail jobs 60-100 miles away, but this year, they actually have a lot of jobs nearby ... if you're either a nurse or a teacher, both of which require state licensing that I don't have or want.

Good morning. Finished with today's #YoCo ( #yogurt and #coffee ).

Didn't have a #videochat with any of the kids or grandkids yesterday.

Remembering why #Radio_Shack was an awful place to work.

I worked for a store in another RS-owned chain during one year's Christmas season. Maybe I just wasn't there long enough to observe all the things this person saw.

We had a store manager (very pregnant, so she just wanted to sit in the back all day) who stole sales, a district manager whose only concern was pushing sales up, and a hot-selling refurbished product in which most of the items sold were returned before Christmas.

It was good to be gone before the rest of the items came back (-$60 in commission for each returned item).

https://gizmodo.com/you-need-to-opt-out-of-amazon-sidewalk-1845750268 [gizmodo com]

I may have already posted this, but I didn’t see it when I looked, so here it is again.

#Amazon is connecting Ring and Echo devices across individual networks, so that neighbors with slow networks or network downtime can still use their devices via bandwidth provided by their neighbors’ Amazon devices. This, of course, completely short-cuts your own network’s security settings .

This is opt-out (on by default), not opt-in (off by default), so those who have such devices must follow the instructions to change them.

1. You Need to Opt Out of Amazon Sidewalk
  
  Have you heard of Amazon Sidewalk? Probably not. But there is a good chance that you or someone you know has an Amazon Echo or Ring camera. And if you own one of those devices and live in the U.S. (or know someone who does), you need to tell them to opt-out of the service as soon as possible.

Had a #videochat with some of my siblings today. My oldest brother continues to have trouble with technology, so he was unable to join (as usual). One of my sisters call in on her phone and immediately, the chat got too noisy and audio-distorted, so I walked down to #CarlsJr and got a guacamole bacon cheeseburger.

@mangeurdenuage Well, most of the states have certified their results and most of the lawsuits are over. So, barring either a Supreme Court decision or faithless electors at the electoral college, we know #Biden will be the next President, taking over in January.

I'm still trying to avoid nearly all #politics / #USPol / #Election_2020 news and discussion, but it is time for #Trump and his supporters to face reality and accept defeat. A better focus is the upcoming runoff elections for two #GA Senate seats.
