Goodbye to my dear longtime friend, Paul Reubens. I am crushed. The world has lost one of the funniest human beings who ever lived. Paul, I hope wherever you are, you have reunited with John and Phil and are laughing your asses off - together again. I love you so much Paul. I will miss you and all the wonderful times we spent together more than you’ll ever know. 💔RIP

What it is, infosec dot town, I live here now. ​​

New instance means a new #introduction: I'm a cybersecurity researcher and educator. I founded a school to lower the barrier to access tech knowledge! https://taggartinstitute.org.

Also I stream and make YouTube videos, but right now I'm on hiatus as I take care of my new little girl!

I saw this advert from 1956 on Instagram and can’t work out how a fridge from nearly 70 years ago basically has better features than the fridge I own now.

Big Cat, hearing the ice cracking, takes the jump. And wow.

I for one will contribute to a defense fund.

Twitter Threatens Legal Action Against Nonprofit That Tracks Hate Speech

In September 2020 I started what became a long #Twitter thread on #Multilingualism and #MultilingualResearch.

Starting today, I'm stopping it on Twitter and continuing it on #Mastodon.

Here's a rollup of the Twitter thread.

When you listen to The Verge's podcast and they're legitimately saying Mastodon is a "no girls allowed" club? And we don't want Facebook here because Instagram will bring women here?!

What the fuck is wrong with these American tech pundits? Mastodon is the gayest, transest, most feminine social network I've ever seen. There are so many more outspoken, smart, odd, and downright weird women here than I've ever seen on any other social network. It's fucking great.

I was late jumping ship and all the delete services no longer work since API access is paywalled so I wrote a very rudimentary browser script to crawl my feed and delete all my shit.

The engineers who designed the #Voyager probes half a century ago even thought of the possibility that a wrong sequence of commands may point the antenna dish away from earth.

And they implemented a self-adjusting mechanism that a few times a year scans the positions of a few known stars to infer the position of the earth, and point back the antenna in the right direction.

50 years later, these wonderful machines are still working, tens of billions of km away from earth, and even a wrong sequence of commands won't put them out of use.

The more I understand how they were designed, the more I feel like an early Medieval engineer looking at the Pantheon or other marvels or Roman architecture. Some amazing skills, knowledge and attention to details have been lost from that generation to ours.

Hey London friends, does anyone know of a room to rent coming up in the next couple of months? I have a relative who’s struggling to find accommodation and needs to move by September. They can pay up to £1300/month if bills are included. Boosts appreciated.

This Tesla caused quite a buzz when it bummed a charge in a small town https://electrek.co/2023/07/29/this-tesla-caused-quite-a-buzz-when-it-bummed-a-charge-in-a-small-town/?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=mastodon

This is a job in my department that is listed as fully remote, and I think my advocacy over the last several years is a large reason why this was posted as a true, fully-remote job. I work 100% remotely and love it.

Dear mastodon reader: come snatch this job, get me a referral bonus and make me proud!

Unfortunately, pay range is not shown here, which makes me sad...
