@max hahaha, I sent it to several people after seeing it yesterday, so you're not wrong
@jonkeeganstories I would probably buy a puzzle version of this.

Cool job posting at ProPublica

We are seeking a computational journalist to join our data team to use their technical knowledge, as well as emerging technologies like artificial intelligence and large language models, to help us investigate the world and unlock stories that would otherwise be out of reach.

Journalism experience is a plus, but we especially encourage applications from people with quantitative/research backgrounds, such as statistics, data science, AI and machine learning. Ability to code well is a must.

Ultimately, we’re looking for someone who would pitch us on ideas that use technology to do things we hadn’t dreamed of doing. That could be renting a boat to test the WiFi networks at Mar-a-Lago, having students scream into black-box hardware or using the power of programming to fingerprint and cluster propaganda videos.

Computational Journalist

New York, New York, United States

Now in beta on Android & Desktop, coming soon to iOS:

Save custom nicknames & notes for anyone you’re chatting with on Signal, even if they aren’t in your phone’s contacts. Useful for adding missing letters in a lazy friend’s profile name or a reminder about where you met.

We are hiring a digital security training intern! Unfortunately you'd have to work with me a lot. Sorry. But it's otherwise tons of fun. You'd learn from and work with journalists. You'd also contribute back to the broader community by writing about journalistic digital security practices. Apply here. https://freedom.press/jobs/?gh_jid=4400365005

Imagine spending three years of your life on a complicated, stressful project and then some guy gets mad that you accidentally added a small performance issue and destroys all your hard work.
Once again, On Food and Cooking has been experimentally validated. And now I need to figure out what to do with a half gallon of yogurt with the consistency of kefir.
New cookbook day!

Super happy with my Framework laptop by the way!

The module system is great. I printed a snack drawer today! Now I can always take three peanuts with me!

For pop culture/tech systems puns I don't think I'll ever top " if you liked it then you should've put monitoring on it".

Now live for everyone on iOS, Android, and Desktop 💫
@signalapp und jetzt gibt es dieses sinnvolle neue Feature für alle Betriebssystemplattformen!
Übrigens: bei iOS hat die Versionsbezeichnung inzwischen 7.8 erreicht.

@laaspher

Irrtum >>> für die Registrierung ist nach wie die Bekanntgabe einer funktionierenden Telefonnummer erforderlich ...

deshalb die Messenger-App #Threema bzw #ThreemaLibre

@signalapp

@signalapp @SilverSurferBln ja, aber nicht mehr für die Weitergabe der eigenen Rufnummer an Kommmunikationspartner. Dafür reicht jetzt der selbstgewählte Username.
@signalapp when using it without a phone number?
@bino @signalapp I thought you had to use a phone number to make a Signal account.
@signalapp but did they get their nails done together⁈ T’was a promise! (Me picturing it as a pledge of fealty)
@signalapp Is Signal coming to PostmarketOS?
@signalapp less with the 'lazy' please, sigh; there are legit reasons for not exposing biographical data to every Signal contact
@womump @signalapp they said missing letters. They're not talking about using an alias or leaving the name field blank.

@womump @signalapp This. And as well as you don’t want to give everyone your (single) phone number, you also might not want to use the same (full) name in all groups.

As long as you do not support multiple identities as a feature, leaving the user profile vague is the way to go.

@signalapp Will you be supporting WhatsApp this year. Would love to move those chats to your app.

@cabinet20 @signalapp

Obviously they will not. WhatsApp is far away from Signal in terms of security and privacy and thus Signal would have to lower its standards.

Thankfully they declared to not integrate or connect to WhatsApp, Telegram API and so on

@cabinet20 @signalapp Whatsapp has very privacy invasive requirements to connect to their servers. We don't want Meta's rules here in Signal network.
@jdoe @signalapp Fully understand. Sad that I can’t just use the Signal app, instead, as I can’t give up WhatsApp without giving up on talking to family or friends with Android phones.

@cabinet20 @jdoe @signalapp

FWIW, I'm happily using signal on an Android phone, linked to the app on my windows laptop, and communicating regularly with friends wholly w/in the Apple ecosystem.

The only challenge is convincing WhatsApp users to give up Meta; most of my friends were happy to do so.

@cabinet20
They will not do this for reasons.
@albert_magellan Yeah, I accept that. I didn’t initially consider how it’d compromise Signal but getting that now, it makes sense not to happen.
@signalapp Excellent! I have families grouped under 1 contact in my phone, so this will allow me to see who I'm talking to.
@signalapp More importantly, when will Signal allow me to set per-chat nickname, especially for public rooms? I don't need everyone in a 50+ people group to know my full name.
@signalapp In beta? I already can see the nickname field in 7.2.4 on Android. 🤨
@macst3r @signalapp Maybe it's a server side beta update
@signalapp This is a great development. Thank you 🥳
@signalapp I would love to have location sharing feature. So you can automatically send for a fixed time every few seconds your current location. That should then show on a map.
@signalapp is there any way to get the beta without a Google account?

@signalapp "Useful for adding missing letters in a lazy friend’s profile name"

I feel seen.

Hint: also works with friends with incorrect capitalisation.

@signalapp Any chance we can have custom profiles for different people - I can't use a picture of me as my profile picture when using my username for online folks??
@daniel @signalapp This is very needed. I want to have a profile that shows this identity & then a different one that I can give to people in real life.
@signalapp When are you going to implement backups on iOS? Until you do I cannot use this app.

Message de Signal Desktop annonçant la fin de prise en charge de l'application pour les ordi sous #macos ≤ 10.15

@signalapp n'aura mieux fait que Whatsapp que pendant 1 an en ce qui concerne l'#obsolescence, dommage !
