Since I'm reading a lot of intros in my feed, let me add my own.

I'm Oliver D. Reithmaier, a HCI researcher working towards my PhD at Leibniz University in Hanover, Germany. I am a Social Psychologist by training and specialized heavily on Psychology of IT Security during my Masters.

After some experience in the Infosec consulting world, I found that private business is kinda not for me (at least rn) and I wanted to do research again. So I joined the academic realm.

I work at the Usable Security and Privacy Group of Prof. Markus DΓΌrmuth and do work about social engineering, specifically email phishing, and its mitigation strategies for large-scale orgs. I'm also interested in knowledge aspects related to cybersecurity: How accurate is self-reported knowledge, how does it translate to self-efficacy etc. Also I'm a sucker for stats and like to educate and support people in my field with anything related to that, since apparently HCI isn't too firm when it comes to that topic.

On a personal note I enjoy cooking, DIY, cocktails, writing poetry, making and spinning music, gaming, documentaries/podcasts, thinking about stuff and many more things. I just love learning, I guess.

Anyways, here's to a bright future on the elephant network. If you have any questions, wanna work with me, talk or tease, hit me up!
I am looking forward to your message!

I will post in English, German and (rarely) Japanese. German and Japanese posts are usually locally focused in their respective nations (politics, culture, business). If that is not relevant to you, you can mute those languages in Mastodon preferences (Preferences -> Other) so they don't show up in your timeline.

I tend to have strong opinions about topics. If that makes you uncomfortable, you can either unfollow me or (and I like this better) fire back at me with facts or counter-proposals. I enjoy a spirited discussion.

Since my family name is hard to pronounce for non-German speakers, here's the next best thing:
English: [Right - mayor]

Kleinanzeigen ist ein Fiebertraum. Typ schreibt mich an zu einer Anzeige die ich drin hab mit den Worten (Zitat):
"Hey gib mir mal deine Nummer dann ruf ich dich an
😏😏"

The. Fuck.

Hey @Tutanota@mastodon.social, I created an email (free tier) on Sunday and it says I need to wait for "manual approval". What is this? I'd really love to use that email.

That headbanging scene in the latest DanDaDan episode caught me off guard. Might have snorted.

2010: "If it's free, you're the product"
2015: "If it doesn't cost enough, you're the product"
2020: "If it costs monthly, you're the product"
2025: "You're the product"

Been getting into DJing again lately (after a decade). Will be recording lots of practice mixes (various genres: House, Hardcore Techno, Techno, Drum&Bass, Dubstep, other electronic stuff) and will put them on mixcloud. Limited availability, so get them while they're hot lmao.

Part 1 is UK/Happy Hardcore.

"Artgerechte Wildtierhaltung" ist auch so ein Oxymoron in sich. Dass Menschen (Zoos) solche Worte fΓΌr sich beanspruchen ist einfach nur peinlich.
