Thx for the reminder about the doc at #sundancefilmfestival

"Josef Carl Engressia Jr., aka: Whistler, later known as Joybubbles...He could whistle a perfect 2600 Hz tone"

Heard about this on 2600's #OffTheHook radio show from yesterday (listening from my podcatcher). Yeah, it's in German, but it's a good read as is the video in the article. Or, you can listen to OTH from 2026-01-07. :flan_headphones:​

They really don't care

Also, the schools that have a "bell to bell ban" it seems the kids aren't having it.

They bring in PCs or Tablets and use the schools wifi and #googledocs to #textchat with fellow students, in the classroom

⭕#offthehook talks about this "fix" to kids wasting time in school

Here’s an image I threw together in the lead up for Grand Fest

I thought I posted it on @Melon but it looks like I didn’t- so here it is I guess

In 1984, 2600: The Hacker Quarterly was founded by Emmanuel Goldstein (Eric Corley), named after the infamous 2600 Hz tone used by phone phreakers to manipulate the telephone system. The magazine became a cornerstone of hacker culture, covering everything from phreaking to cybersecurity. Around the same time, Off The Hook, 2600’s hacker radio show, hit the airwaves on WBAI in New York, bringing discussions of technology, privacy, and digital rights to a wider audience. Both the magazine and radio show carried the rebellious spirit of early phreakers like Captain Crunch (John Draper), who used the 2600 Hz tone to explore and exploit phone networks. Decades later, 2600 remains a symbol of hacker knowledge, free speech, and digital exploration.

I've listened to @OffTheHook since the mid 90's, and I think last nights preamble was one of the most chilling I've ever heard. It really set the tone for the show.

A listeners feedback was discussed some weeks ago, relating to the amount of "politics" now in the show.

If recent events have taught me anything, It's just how intertwined US politics and our digital lives have become.

Thanks to all involved with #offthehook Long may the show and WBAI continue to share voices of the people.
