👋Hey everyone!

I'm looking for a #rust software engineer position.
Thanks a lot in advance!

Question/ask!

Some locals are organizing a community skillshare and I offered to help folks get set up with secure text messaging using Signal. Are there any tutorials/guides that you particularly recommend, or known issues with setup, maybe with other kinds of phones? (I've had no issues setting up on Android)

Also: is there anything else you'd recommend I share with folks in terms of communication security? Other helpful apps or tools? Looking for things I can quickly learn, then teach.

lools like the signal suggestions are covered.

github.com/Gedsh/InviZible is an excellent privacy tool, only for android.

@torproject browser is both ios and droid, and should be on every phone.

@getgrid is a cross platform privacy focused live location sharing app. It's under heavy development(maybe alpha/beta) and doesn't always work me.

There's a lot of "more advanced" privacy projects, but these are all ones you could learn easily and teach quickly.

If you want more ideas...

[13:49] Acteur Sanne den Hartogh (43) vertrekt na ‘Nachtwacht’ naar ITA: ‘Het was een geweldige tijd in Groningen’

‘Nachtwacht’, dat zaterdag in première gaat, is de laatste voorstelling van Sanne den Hartogh bij het Groningse NITE. Hij stapt over naar ITA in Amsterdam. Ook geen beroerd gezelschap. En praktischer, met vriendin en zoontje daar.

That's not a giant meteor. It's SPHEREx and PUNCH, two @nasa missions, being sent up into space via a Falcon 9 @spacex rocket!! SPHEREx is a mission that'll survey over 450 million galaxies to uncover the history of the universe and how it evolved. The PUNCH mission will study the outer atmosphere of the sun.

I am VERY EXCITED about SPHEREx and what it'll find about the period of cosmic inflation, a period when the universe grew by ~10³⁰ in size in a tiny fraction of a second!



Brothers and sisters, I invite you to join me in observing a meaningful Ember Wednesday. (Ask claude.ai about it.) The sun will be up soon where I am. I’m beginning now cradleofprayer.org/this-weeks-…, later msg me t.me/tbc00

A Health System Is Fighting Idaho’s Abortion Ban. It’s Not Its First Controversial Stance.

St. Luke’s, Idaho’s largest health system, was outspoken in defending its staff during a backlash against masks and vaccines. It also sued right-wing figure Ammon Bundy — and won. Now it’s backing its doctors on the abortion front.

I love #ProPublica articles. They're well researched and focused. This story about #StLukes in #Idaho is a great example of one company standing against fascists.



#WritersCoffeeClub for March 12:

Happy Plant a Flower Day! What role does nature take in your stories?


Depends where we're going. If we're talking about The Voyageur, it's a key theme. If we're looking at something set in the Jovian Lunar Empire, it couldn't matter less.

In general, when nature does show up it tends to be aberrant from the actual condition. The bigger role nature plays in my stories is the role it plays in my creative process; the way the seasons govern my ratio of indoor to outdoor activity, the way the best ideas come to me directly from the sun, as filtered down through elm-leaves on my favourite trail down by the river.



To All USians who are angry when Canadians push back at your "just joking" about joining or annexing Canada, or when you say, "Invasion of Canada will never happen" think about this...

Obviously we are not the only country to feel justified with defending ourselves because NATO military chiefs had a closed door security summit in Paris and the US was not invited. Japan and Australia were there.

@ravelin I’m glad to hear it! I have been getting so much apathy and hopeless despair about what can be done from so many USians, that I automatically default to my “do something” responses. @Snowshadow
in reply to Lynn D 🇨🇦

@Lynnd It's a good and important message. The main problem here is that not enough people are active, and those that are need encouragement to stay active. Keep doing it. 👍

#WordWeavers Does your MC love the spotlight or try to pass unnoticed?

If Lichuen gets into spotlight, something has gone wrong. Intelligence and espionage is not like in the James Bond movies - somebody known as a spy is an ex-spy.

Me considero una persona con bastante imaginación, pero ni en mis más febriles delirios hubiese imaginado ver al fokin presidente de los EEUU anunciando Teslas delante de toda la prensa porque la empresa de su co-presidente se hunde en ventas y en bolsa. El autoproclamado "líder del mundo libre" rebajado a un vendedor de coches.

Cada vez más convencido de que la relación de estos dos no es de amistad ni mutuo interés, y que Musk tiene mucha mierda sobre Trump y le está coaccionando.

Recordemos que cuando Musk compró Tuiter también compró TODOS LOS DMs de Tuiter.

igual no es el caso, pero también compró toda la información que se almacena sobre cada persona.

E igual no hemos pensado lo suficiente lo que podrían hacer con nuestras vidas quienes saben de ellas más que cada persona en sí.

One of my biggest gripes with this platform, fixed!

We should now see *all* replies, regardless of which server we're on, or which server they're posted from.

social.growyourown.services/@F…

Thanks @FediTips for the good news.


Some good news about #Mastodon, there has been a very significant bit of code added which will automatically fetch all the replies in a thread. This means everyone will be able to see a thread's whole conversation no matter which server they are on! 🥳

The code has just been "merged" which means it should become available in the next update to Mastodon, hopefully within the next few months.

(Those who want the technical details can see the Pull Request at github.com/mastodon/mastodon/p…)

(Via @rolle)


in reply to Fedi.Tips

Do you know if it will work retrospectively, ie be applied to legacy posts, or only those made after its implementation?
in reply to Sam at BLAG

I'm not a developer, but AFAIK it should apply retrospectively because all it is doing is fetching more posts rather than changing the format of posts.

But I am not a dev! 😅

Hot off the press, y'all - new research from the folks at the Developer Success Lab.

I'm copying and pasting from an email I wrote to @flourn0 after reading a draft of the now available "No Silver Bullets: Why Understanding Software Cycle Time is Messy, Not Magic."

Because I don't think I can advocate for the quality of and need for this work any better than I did in that email:
