Signal is a nonprofit. But what does this mean in practice? Today we do something most tech co’s avoid: talk money. What does it cost for Signal to play in a lane dominated by billion $ corporations, while rejecting the surveillance business model?

Just remembered that time in my Google job interview when they asked me what my favorite forensics tool is and I said it was grep.
Protip: You don't have to leetcode or invent a new kind of physics to land a senior engineer job, just knowing how stuff really works is great.

Sometimes I wonder whether years as a designer taught me how to recognize when a client is their own worst enemy...or whether *every* client is their own worst enemy, and I just didn't get a sample size large enough to confirm it.

Mastodon FeedClippy has proven to be punishing, however 😂
Mastodon FeedCross-platform building + packaging on releases was a bit of a pain. I had previously built on Travis (RIP) and appveyor using the `trust` template. Moving to GH Actions involved cargo culting what I found in cardinal-rs's repo
Mastodon FeedMaking things compile was simple: upgraded the Graphics-related libs to the latest version and made changes that the compiler suggested. Took no more than 10-20 mins.
Mastodon FeedSpent a couple hours bringing my Game-of-Life toy #Rust project back to life after 6+ years. It now compiles with modern Rust, and cross-platform packaging is working again 🎉
Mastodon FeedI took the list of #Rustlang packages in Debian, and converted it to cargo-vet audits, so you can use "Debian-approved" dependencies without depending on Debian.

Dear journalists who are here _and_ on X,
I know X still feels like a necessary part of the job. But posting and re-tweeting content is not. Even if it's critical of Elon's latest actions, you're just helping him make money, and legitimizing his platform.
Please consider going, at least, read-only/DM-only, and making it known that you have done so & where to find you.
That's one further step towards de-legitimizing X, before it is being fully weaponized in the 2024 election.
Thank you!

I could write a long essay about the nature of translucent consumer electronics being one that encourages exploration, of treating the things that we use as constructed items that can be understood and repaired rather than mere black boxes, encouraging the next generation of engineers and technicians to gain a passion for knowing how things work...
But honestly, they also just look good. Look at this thing!
