Thanks to everyone - speakers, attendees, volunteers - who participated in a terrific #VotingVillage at @defcon last weekend! I think it may have been our best event yet.

A few audio glitches have delayed some of the sessions, but I expect we'll have the videos of all the talks up on our YouTube channel in a week or so. Watch this space for links.

Now I will take a long post-conference nap.

Capture d'écran d'une conversation Signal avec une gazaouie :

Les forces d'occupation progressent actuellement dans le nord de Gaza, plus précisément dans le quartier de Zeitoun et aux abords de celui de Sabra. Des familles fuient sous les bombardements. Malheureusement, les médias ne couvrent pas ce que nous traversons actuellement.

Je prépare actuellement mon sac d'urgence pour être prête si la situation dans la région s'aggrave.

Two of the families in Gaza that I’m in touch with are thinking of setting up a group fundraising effort, inspired by the work of @divya.

We need someone who will take on the huge responsibility of setting up the fundraiser and managing it all.

If you have the time and are up for the challenge, please reply to this thread (direct messages are fine).

If the #Threads interpolation story ever breaks, and the world learns the details of how, exactly, the #SocialWeb folks sold us out, one thing is for sure—

Mark Zuckerberg will throw them under the bus so damn fast. Those NDAs aren't saving anyone.

He sacrificed his highest ranking Lieutenant, Sheryl Sandberg, just to save face in front of Trump. You think he won't do the same to some W3C nerds and the founder of his competition if need be?

lol okay.

@aral I feel the same way! And I am Jewish by heritage too. I absolutely hate what Israel is doing to the Palestinian people.

This motion study was captured with a Zeiss 40mm lens on a Pentax 645Z camera and 10 stops of neutral density. The 13 second exposure was timed so the train was passing in front for roughly half the exposure. The regular corrugated surface of the commuter train worked well to allow the station building to retain detail while still clearly showing the train streaking by in front. A freight train (which passed by a few minutes earlier) worked comparatively poorly for this.

Fuck israel. Fuck each and every zionist. And fuck every western government that is complicit in israel’s genocide of the Palestinian people.

Some of us will never forget those of you who stood by and did nothing. Or worse, those of you lining your pockets with the blood money of innocent Palestinians.

There will be a reckoning.

We will not forget. We will not forgive.

Fear has become our daily reality. For days, the Israeli occupation has been shelling homes over the heads of residents, committing horrific massacres in the neighborhoods of Sabra and Zeitoun.
Today, its tanks have reached the edges of my neighborhood, and at any moment, the entire area could be overrun.
Please, hear our voices, and stop this brutality being inflicted upon us.

@josephcox Seriously, the communications tech used for even very sensitive (and occasionally classified) government communications is generally quite bad, with the user interface often being the worst culprit. It's not the fault of the users; these systems often just aren't designed in a way that makes them easy to use properly.

Ever entered a phone number incorrectly or texted the wrong contact? Everyone has - including the cops.

Another bad user interface (MMS, which allows you to add any random phone number to a group chat) used by law enforcement, leading to inevitable mistakes.

Until very recently (like 2 or 3 years ago), federal agents routinely misconfigured the encryption settings on their two way radios, leading to sensitive traffic (much like that in the linked 404media article) going out in the clear more often than not.

Instead, your pie is delivered in a wing-shaped three-wheeler that vaguely sounds like a Mazda RX-7. That would be the Tritan A2, which Domino’s briefly tested as a delivery car. Only 10 were built before the project was canned, and one is currently listed for sale on Bring a Trailer.”
