@max hahaha, I sent it to several people after seeing it yesterday, so you're not wrong

@jonkeeganstories I would probably buy a puzzle version of this.

Cool job posting at ProPublica

We are seeking a computational journalist to join our data team to use their technical knowledge, as well as emerging technologies like artificial intelligence and large language models, to help us investigate the world and unlock stories that would otherwise be out of reach.

Journalism experience is a plus, but we especially encourage applications from people with quantitative/research backgrounds, such as statistics, data science, AI and machine learning. Ability to code well is a must.

Ultimately, we’re looking for someone who would pitch us on ideas that use technology to do things we hadn’t dreamed of doing. That could be renting a boat to test the WiFi networks at Mar-a-Lago, having students scream into black-box hardware or using the power of programming to fingerprint and cluster propaganda videos.

Now in beta on Android & Desktop, coming soon to iOS:

Save custom nicknames & notes for anyone you’re chatting with on Signal, even if they aren’t in your phone’s contacts. Useful for adding missing letters in a lazy friend’s profile name or a reminder about where you met.

We are hiring a digital security training intern! Unfortunately you'd have to work with me a lot. Sorry. But it's otherwise tons of fun. You'd learn from and work with journalists. You'd also contribute back to the broader community by writing about journalistic digital security practices. Apply here. https://freedom.press/jobs/?gh_jid=4400365005

Imagine spending three years of your life on a complicated, stressful project and then some guy gets mad that you accidentally added a small performance issue and destroys all your hard work.

Once again, On Food and Cooking has been experimentally validated. And now I need to figure out what to do with a half gallon of yogurt with the consistency of kefir.

New cookbook day!

Super happy with my Framework laptop by the way!

The module system is great. I printed a snack drawer today! Now I can always take three peanuts with me!

For pop culture/tech systems puns I don't think I'll ever top " if you liked it then you should've put monitoring on it".

Why hasn't there been a CISA/SZA collab yet? Is it because coming up with puns for the title is surprisingly hard? Best I have so far is "Nobody Gets SDLC".

Plausible analytics switching to open core :(

The three million toothbrush botnet story isn’t true.

Here’s the original source of the story: https://archive.is/2024.01.30-203406/https://www.luzernerzeitung.ch/wirtschaft/kriminalitaet-die-zahnbuersten-greifen-an-das-sind-die-aktuellen-cybergefahren-und-so-koennen-sie-sich-schuetzen-ld.2569480

It’s simply a made up example. It doesn’t exist. It starts talking about NoName Ddosia, too, which also isn’t toothbrushes.

@dphiffer it sounds like he’s great at predictions, we’ve just been interpreting them backwards.

We have a contract! After two long years of negotiating, we have our first contract in place. There are lots of Markup alumni who helped get the ball rolling on this, so thank you to all of the past and present crew who made this happen 🙏🏻. We care deeply about @themarkup and this contract helps enshrine many of the values that made us want to work in this newsroom. 💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻

“Every term that refers to something useful will become meaningless. Precisely because the original thing is useful, the term becomes valuable for marketing. This means that stretching the term to include things not quite under the original definition allows them to benefit from the perceived value of the original thing. And that establishes a precedent, allowing things even a little further away to get the label, and the scope creeps ever outward.”

Congratulations to @ProPublica for hiring @ben ! What a coup.

@wingo I assume you’ve already run into the “entrée” difference? I find this legitimately confusing at French restaurants in the US.

How long before the teens start doing this with vapes?
