Ever wondered what happens when AI podcasting meets My Immortal? I’ve been playing with NotebookLM’s podcast feature and created an episode around My Immortal. The results were impressive.

It's not even that uncommon for cybercrooks to get let out of jail and literally go dig up a trezor hardware wallet and retrieve millions of stolen money.
I don't think we've come to terms with the fact that most of these guys will have stuff squirreled away everywhere, just in case. In the past, if you got busted they pretty much knew what you had in your bank accounts, which were all frozen, and any cash you had would be seized.
But that's not even relevant anymore. It's like having lots of ill-gotten bitcoin makes you a member of the mob or a cartel, in that you will always have some kind of protection when you get out.
One of the problems with prosecuting cybercriminals is that building cases and investigations takes time, often years. In the meanwhile, the bad guys are ransoming this and extorting that and really harming a lot of people.
But what if we went after all the sim-swappers and other assholes in The Com by taking a page from the prosecution of Al Capone? I'm talking about just filing notices of unreported income with the IRS on all of these guys? I think the IRS even still has a bounty program for this kind of thing.

Hey, there's a decent business plan here...
It sounds like bsky is scrambling to add capacity and so they have limited some functionality. At their scale, I am left wondering how exactly they are paying for it since I don’t think they have an actual revenue stream. Perhaps I am wrong on that.
@snazzyq did you have the banger sims music in the background while your remodeled?
@kasdeya I have no idea other than the fact that it just feels correct? It’s something I’ve wondered as well why this was the way I learned how to play guitar but I think it’s probably a thing of your dominant hand probably has more power to pluck the strings and it’s easier for your non dominant hand to learn the complex movements than to get more strength

A technical deep-dive, since people have been asking me for my thoughts. I'll expand a bit on some of the key points here in a thread. 🧵
@crumbler This sounds like something @linustech@threads.net should do

@brad_frost About 10–12 years ago, when I was first learning web design, I had a teacher at my community college who mentioned you as someone he follows. Inspired by his recommendation, I started following you on Twitter and eventually continued following you on Mastodon.
I firmly believe that enterprise organizations unwilling to embrace remote and hybrid work models will soon face a shrinking talent pool and unprecedented lows in employee retention. The enforcement of return-to-office mandates will become a gold mine of talent for forward-thinking companies.

Started learning about #zettelkasten after reading @caseynewton platformer newsletter. It’s been this wild ride feeling like this is the way I should have been taking notes this whole time! And I can’t believe not many people seem to know about it! Really fascinating way that seems to just click for effectively building up your personal knowledge management system. I highly recommend people take a look in to it. Here is a couple links to learn about it: https://youtu.be/rOSZOCoqOo8 https://youtu.be/ziE6UExsOrs
You wouldn't know from most of the coverage of/reaction to their New Year's Eve performance but Green Day has been substituting "MAGA agenda" for the original "redneck agenda" in the lyrics to American Idiot since at least 2019. https://www.billboard.com/culture/events/green-day-american-idiot-trump-lyrics-iheartradio-festival-8530668/
