I spoke with @joshbressers on Hacker History about how I got into tech publishing (entirely by accident), how that first book turned into a dozen over the course of twenty years, and how the publishing industry has changed in that time. If you have ever entertained the thought about writing a book yourself, or are interested in tech publishing you should check this out!

PSA: we have seen the vague viral reports alleging a Signal 0-day vulnerability.

After responsible investigation *we have no evidence that suggests this vulnerability is real* nor has any additional info been shared via our official reporting channels.

My morning sunrise walk up Glastonbury Tor started off a bit underwhelming as the sun stayed stubbornly behind cloud. Then this happened👇 I am sure it's got a technical term but sun halo will do.

Been hearing whispers all weekend, some from people who I'd *definitely* listen to, of a remote execution 0day in the Signal desktop and possibly also mobile app. Mitigation is supposedly to disable link previews (under settings->chats).

I have no more details. What I've heard doesn't completely make sense, but disabling link previews should be at worst harmless and seems prudent until this is clarified.

Anybody who says trans women have a biological advantage over cis women should’ve seen me struggle with a jar of pasta sauce just now

Ah, we were so young then. So naïve.

I don't have much hope that new cars will be less invasive of my privacy any time soon, but this sort of project gives me hope that when the time comes to replace my car (hopefully a decade from now), that I might be able to convert it or some other pre-privacy-invasion car to electric.

I just took an afternoon break to sit on my screen porch balcony, look at the sky. I could not help but think of all the elderly ladies in #Gaza. I thought about having to grab my go-bag, race into the street, and struggle to evacuate my city. solidarity with all civilians caught in war zones.

En av poängerna – på gott och ont – med #Twitter / #X har varit att det är en (påstådd!) spegling av det offentliga samtalet. Den "spegelbilden" blir som bekant alltmer falsk och förvrängd, men inläggen har iallafall kunnat läsas av icke-medlemmar.
Bluesky känns hittills mer som en engelsk privatklubb.
Mastodon är mer som ett mysigt kafé eller bar där folk från olika samhällsklasser möts. Men (än) är det inte stället där man får veta vad som ske på gatan utanför innan det når mainstreammedia.

Just wrapped up an awesome interview with #MintCast! Can’t wait for it to come out
