  4. From #CheckPoint #CheckMates: Last Chance to Register for The State Of Ransomware Q1 2026

    Join CheckMates as they welcome back Check Point Research to the TechTalk stage to discuss #ransomware, which remains one of the most disruptive cyber risks organizations face. The way attacks are executed is changing. In Q1 2026, ransomware activity continued at high levels while consolidating around a smaller number of highly capable groups. This shift is increasing the impact of individual incidents and reshaping how organizations should assess and manage risk.

    In this session, Check Point Research will present key insights from the State of Ransomware Q1 2026 report, followed by a practical discussion on how security teams can apply these findings to reduce exposure and business impact.

  8. 'Lewis takes up a debate with several Black feminists who have, at various times, questioned the idea of family abolition, whose central argument has been that, very often, Black families have been sites of resistance against racism. Similarly, we could point to many experiences of class struggle in which sectors of working families have played a key role against the attacks of capital: supporting strikes, establishing relations of solidarity between factories and neighborhoods, staging rent strikes, maintaining soup kitchens, creating movements in defense of public services, and many other forms of resistance. The tradition of “women’s commissions” in strikes, for example, has allowed the working class to articulate fighting forces far beyond the workplace.

    'To this criticism Lewis responds that, even so, we should not cease working for the abolition of the family, since we would not need its “protective shield” if we managed to build a society without racism. The argument contains a grain of truth, but it stops halfway. It fails to contemplate the role that the family relations within sectors of the working class and oppressed can play in moments of heightened class struggle. On another level, it doesn’t account for the fact that capitalism, while it needs such a “social cell” for its own reproduction, constantly undermines working families’ very conditions of existence. Marx and Engels remarked on this in the mid-19th century, pointing to the length of the working day, the lack of decent housing, and the general precariousness of working class life.'

  10. Hello #Fediverse, here’s today’s daily OS-tan!

    This one is of Mutsumi Madobe, a lesser-known member of the Madobe family and a personification of Windows Vista! Mutsumi is portrayed as the older sister of Nanami Madobe who represents Windows 7, though her origins could be seen as quite unique compared to other OS-tans.

    Mutsumi first appeared through tweets made from Nanami’s Twitter account beginning on October 3, 2009. While she was never officially used for promotional campaigns, she did show up in some Madobe Family Trees included with official merchandise. On special occasions like April Fool’s Day 2010, she “took over” tweeting duties, using the hashtag #6me.

    Unlike Nanami she has no official artwork but on April 20, 2010 the artist Sappappa designed an unofficial interpretation of her based on her tweets. This fan-made depiction gained enough popularity to inspire derivative artwork.

    Mutsumi’s design and character reflect her connection to Vista. She’s a little taller than Nanami and is often noted for her larger bust, perhaps showing Vista’s higher memory demands compared to Windows 7 (the same case with XP Pro-tan). She loves eating gyudon and prefers to skip outdated software in favor of new releases: a subtle nod to the compatibility struggles that Vista faced during its time.

    There was even a joke site made for her you can find here: t1500.com/april/2014/

  11. Yahoo Finance | Why ExxonMobil Stock Soared More Than 11% in March

    ExxonMobil (XOM) saw its stock price jump 11.3% in March, driven largely by a sharp rise in crude oil prices. Global benchmark Brent crude surged 43% to nearly $104 per barrel, its best monthly gain since May 2020, while U.S. WTI crude climbed 51% over the same period. The price spike followed U.S. and Israeli military actions against Iran, which disrupted oil flows through the Strait of Hormuz and damaged energy infrastructure, including LNG facilities in Qatar co-owned by Exxon and QatarEnergy.

    Beyond higher oil prices, ExxonMobil benefited from strategic developments in March. The company expressed interest in returning to Venezuela under favorable terms, citing its improved expertise in heavy oil operations. Additionally, Exxon and QatarEnergy completed the first LNG train at their Golden Pass project in Texas, which will eventually produce 18 million tonnes per annum of LNG—timely given Iran’s disruption of Qatar’s LNG exports.

    Despite the stock’s strong performance, ExxonMobil remains an attractive investment due to untapped upside. The company has underperformed relative to crude oil gains, suggesting further potential if prices stay elevated. Structural cost reductions and high-margin investments position Exxon to profit significantly in a high-price environment. While not among the Motley Fool Stock Advisor’s current top 10 picks, the stock is still considered compelling for long-term growth.

  12. Top grain traders ‘helped scupper’ ban on soya from deforested land | Environment | The Guardian
    theguardian.com/environment/20

    "But instead of agreeing the ban, Cargill and ADM “led the push” for weaker language in the final statement, according to one person involved in the discussions between the 14 grain traders before Cop27."

    Businesses *must* be excluded from COP conferences if we're to save our planet.

  15. For me to get back into EFT they need to change a few things:
    1. Allow Mags in Container
    2. Map changes
    2.1: Customs ( ~> 0.12)
    2.2: Factory ( ~> 04/0.12)
    2.3: Shoreline (~> revert green flare exit)

    The only fun map for me rn is Labs. Neither the map flow nor the CQC are as enjoyable anymore.

    Preparing for lobby wipes with spare mags, loosing it all upon death but not gaining anything from your foes if they didn't play one of your calibers is abysmal.

  16. #PennedPossibilities 1004 — If they have any, tell us about your MC’s philosophical beliefs.

    Ooooh, let’s get down to the nitty gritty with this one. Philosophical beliefs are guiding principles or worldviews that shape how individuals understand reality, morality, and existence. I’ve never really thought about this in reference to this specific WIP of mine, but it felt so easy once I sat down and really delved deeply into my answer for the prompt.

    Alistair:
    • Socratic Method: Developed by Socrates, this belief emphasizes questioning assumptions and engaging in dialogue to seek truth, fostering critical thinking rather than accepting ideas at face value.
    • Introspection: The practice of examining one’s own mind and beliefs to gain self-knowledge and understanding. (All Alistair ever does is think, think, and think some more.)

    The thing about Fenella is that I can’t quite pin her or explain her beliefs. The only thing that comes to mind is “Justice for Women” because of everything she’s done in her life, considering how she’s helped women steadily for nearly a decade. She dedicated her life to the cause.

    Not to be forgotten, this is also the tail end of the Victorian era. That plays a major role in all this. It matters a great deal. Times were different. The days were much harder back then, even for vampires.

  21. I got out to Point Vicente yesterday and walked around the Vicente Bluffs Nature Reserve. The reserve is a nice, easy stroll along the clifftops and through the scrub, and it seemed like a good compromise hike while I'm still coughing. Maybe next weekend I'll feel up to something with more elevation gain.

    The lighthouse in the distance is the same one I posted earlier. I have more photos on Flickr including previous visits.

  22. #RIP
    #MichaelMosley reportedly died fr #heatexhaustion. How can #extremeheat turn deadly?
    " #human body has 2 main ways to lose e #heat generated by e body or gained fr e environ. 1st, e body attempts to lose heat to e environ by pump'g warm blood to e skin surface. But, when air temps r higher than skin temp (~35°C), tis becomes ineffective.. 2nd, e body can produce sweat, which has a cooling effect .. but, in #humid conditions, sweat on our skin evaporates less readily"

  23. Morning fellow humans :o) ... time for an office outfit .. it has been some time.

    Went shiny on the legs today :sparkles_nb:

    I am a little bit passive at the moment .. so much shit going on right now.

    I usually try to avoid talking about politics and such, just a waste of time, but the whole situation in the US pisses me off so hard .. but in general the whole world is a shitpile right now. Why is everyone jumping on the fucking Nazi train everywhere?!? I don´t get it!
    Right wing partys gain power everywhere .. what´s wrong with ppl?
    How can a criminal even be allowed to be a president (US) .. normal ppl would have been sent to jail several times already for all the shit he has done .. i don´t get it!

    Anyway, stay save and have a nice day <3

  24. Dirt bikes, especially those that are well-maintained, retain a reasonable resale value. Cheap 250cc dirt bikes are no exception. If you decide to upgrade your bike after gaining experience or if your needs change, you can sell your used 250cc bike for a fair price. The affordable nature of these bikes ensures that even used models remain valuable for resale, #dirtbike #automative #sports
