Must have had a hard days night then :D
@AlexSanterne Excellent, thank you for this will share, looks really interesting.
Do you know how #astronomers are hunting for #exoplanets ? Most of them are discovered with the transit and/or radial velocity techniques.
We developed at #LAM (#laboratoire d'#astrophysique de #Marseille) a web tool that simulate an #exoplanet and show you their photometric and radial velocity signals. Feel free to play with the parameters and see how they change the signals.

Sad to hear about so many cuts around the larger security industry. We are in the midst of hiring a senior threat researcher for our team at SentinelLabs– we are fairly open-minded about the research focus. We are looking for someone dedicated to research, interesting in outputting blogs, reports, and tools to empower the larger community. The role is public facing, open to conference talks, webinars, podcasts, etc. We don't do product shilling but along with that freedom there's some element of eating your vegetables and doing things to answer tactical needs. If you know an amazing self-directed researcher who'd do great with that kind of platform, please encourage them to apply–

The job posting is totally screwed up, job is fully remote, open to US/UK/EU and broader (some countries might entail some red tape, need to check w HR), don't let it keep you from applying and we'll sort things out in the backend.

This is one area where developer of free software can put privacy, safety, security and accessibility at the top of the design agenda.
I think MS put a lot of money and research in to this alone, we can learn from that.
Meta, defederation as direct action
Direct action for users who care about equity in the fediverse:
- Know your instance admins & policies. Demand proactive moderation.
- White folks, follow & boost marginalized voices calling out safety/equity issues. Our local circles are often siloed & segregated. We can change that.
- If you have followers on a problem instance, let them know. If issues continue, staying connected is a safety issue—you risk exposing yourself & your instance to bad actors.

@cwebber @evan i’ve thought about this a lot. if you want to index on location info, so you can match near you, you need some third party to do “info escrow” so my location is never revealed even though we’re using it for indexing. this introduces a centralization problem: can our escrow party trust other escrow parties? and even if they could, can they merge indices? this rapidly evolves into a computer science problem.
Maybe they need to put some back in, i agree sometimes you accidentally click somewhere and end up not knowing what has happened.
@Rituparna I agree always speak out, there are people who can help.
A good reason to have the appropriate agencies, charities or whatever on here so they can be tagged in.
We may not get these features in propriatary software but maybe @thunderbird will take these ideas / problems on board.
I think they are doing a major rewrite, so a good time to suggest ideas etc
Interested in Technology, Science, Chemistry, Education, Fediverse, GNU/Linux and free software.
