Hey @pluralistic I don't suppose you keep a list of podcasts you've appeared on. I lost my phone data and can't remember the name of this one podcast.

The host is some professor and/or researcher at a NE USA school, podcasts about democratizing platforms, privacy, interop

Does that ring a bell?

@pluralistic typo report in https://pluralistic.net/2024/01/09/astrobezzle/#send-robots-instead

should "case that ever aspect of space settlement" be "case that every aspect of space settlement"?

Dear Americans

Not a single news outlet aired President Biden's event at the White House just now where he announced over $40 BILLION in investments to expand broadband across America. Thank you, President Biden!

When will President Biden get the coverage & credit he deserves? This is why our media fails all of us.

Does anyone have recommendations for fiction for aspiring hacker kids? My nephews are 10, and apparently have been going into the home office and putting on headphones and having fun pretending to be hackers. They seem a bit young for Little Brother, (but @pluralistic please weigh in), but I'd appreciate recommendations. I've been a decent book buyer uncle, I'd like to keep it up! Looking for fiction to inspire, rather than soldering for 10 year olds or that type thing

Finished @pluralistic 's "Red Team Blues". I am going to stick my neck out, and claim it is to the 2010s what "Neuromancer" was to the 1980s. Out with cyberpunk cowboys, enter forensic accountants with a TOR browser and a SIgnal account. The insane, criminal billionaires and their minions are still around.
