The impact of the massive failure of Microsoft’s business software, Microsoft365, is also affecting financial market transactions. The e-mails used to confirm the contents of the transaction have stopped, and market participants are busy using alternative means such as fax.

Schadenfreude.

Those who derive almost orgasmic pleasure in micro-surveilling every damn ONE of US...weren't watching their own schitt.

I'm slowly orienting myself around the reality that I'm gonna have to not be online...either because I'm required to have digital ID and permissions, or because I can't get a machine that lets me use it, and doesn't use ME to supply data, inputs, subscriptions to access...whatever.

Already I'm about 40 percent there. If my bank goes dark, well, I'll maybe lose money...not a great percentage of what I have. If the Web goes down, I've got movies, books, hiking boots, a bicycle.

If the power goes out, I have a plan for a bridge. Not for indefinite continuance - if it's down for any period of time, all of us will just have to do without refrigeration. But for a week or so, I can make it.

And if my email goes down...let's just put it this way: The week I was gone here, I also wasn't looking at my email. It was a(n unhappy) vacation from the insanity of our overstimulated, Tiktok'd, drug-poisoned, Jab-damaged, world.

I'm back, but not cheerfully. Then I read this...the Masters of the Universe, are moar like a bunch of hormone-driven pedophile knaves.

I only noticed a slight increase in the web sites that challenge me to prove I am not a bot. This is getting annoying. I use Firefox and an ad blocker. But a web site that claims to examine my trail says that I am 100% unique among three million submissions. Damn. I guess they can track me.
