We still have a tech position open at the Freedom of the Press Foundation (a nonprofit): a Sr. Software Engineer position to work on SecureDrop, the open source whistleblower platform used by 65+ media organizations, originally developed by the late Aaron Swartz.

You get paid to work
✅ from anywhere in the world
✅ on a world-changing project
✅ that's open source,
✅ stewarded by a small team
✅ that's led by a woman.

Help spreading the word is much appreciated:

(First and possibly only time I will post politics.)

If you're a US citizen, *please* vote on Tuesday.

It's important for the whole planet, not least due to global warming, which Trump calls a Chinese hoax.

If Congress remains Republican, there will be nothing to restrain Trump.

Trump has gone on record recently saying "I am on the ticket, because this is also a referendum about me."

Please show your disapproval, please piss him off, please protect the Earth. Please vote 🙏

ugh i really hope crossposters don't slowly choke mastodon like they did to diaspora*

if you're just crossposting everything you tweet on birdsite then what even is the point of making a mastodon account? that's glorified spam at worst, and a recipe for abandonment.

If you're in the US:

Don't just wake up on Tuesday and decide whether to go vote. Make PLANS to vote. Some folks' lives depend on it.

Make it a priority. As much as is possible, plan the other aspects of your life AROUND the fact that you're gonna go vote. Make it a given.

I find it silly they use the word "weaponized" twice in the same sentence.

"The technique could be used to execute JavaScript code when a user clicks on a weaponized YouTube video thumbnail embedded in a Weaponized Office document."

They weaponized the Weaponized! lol
