Behold :) My new #cybersecurity talk is ready and you can see it in the best events around you.
Title: The archetypes of the attackers.
Summary: This talk will lead you on a journey to discover the archetypes of attackers, the tools they use, their motivations for targeting what you've built, and how a geopolitical shift can alter their interest in your resources.

LoftyAssist got quite a decent bump in users this weekend, again, by my tiny standards. 41 accounts, 17 logged in over the last three days, 7 paid yearly subscription. That has to be some good ratio of paid to free, no?
And I still have a ton of things to add to help users do their research. I am very curious to see how far this will go.

laptop was emitting electronics-in-distress pheromones, and it stopped working without AC power. it's old enough that I felt ok about getting a new one.
new laptop is fine, but somehow I lost my Blue Prince cloud save, and of course it isn't in my disk backups. so I'm starting over, again.
(old laptop will go to Free Geek, which might try to refurbish it, but will probably just extract a few organs for transplant, and then e-compost the rest)

Next Wednesday, April 2, at 5 pm: The Chicago-Kent IP Law Society will hold a panel on #ScheduleA litigation.
The event will be free & open to all.
I’m honored that these students have asked me to be a panelist & proud of them for taking on this important and timely subject. I hope you can join us!

Dual-Task Graph Neural Network for Joint Seizure Onset Zone Localization and Outcome Prediction using Stereo EEG
Accurately localizing the brain regions that triggers seizures and predicting whether a patient will be seizure-free after surgery are vital for surgical planning and patient management in drug-resistant epilepsy. Stereo-electroencephalography (sEEG) delivers high-fidelity intracranial recordings that enable clinicians to precisely locate epileptogenic networks. However, the clinical identification is subjective and dependent on the expertise of the clinical team. Data driven approaches in this…

Do you want to see me perform in an Improv show?
You can you know. You can do it in Shoreditch in London in the UK on Sunday.
Dunno what the show will be about, obviously. Some short games, couple of longer stories. But we need YOU there to tell us what it's about.
What else in London is free? Nothing, that's what.

This Barbie needs to exercise more free will!!!

". . . pulling out a keffiyeh and shouting, “Free Palestine!” But his depraved actions, like theirs, expose the lie of his lofty words. Neither Palestine nor Israel will ever truly be free until their societies are liberated from megalomaniacal men who perpetrate demonic acts in their name."

The D.C. Jewish Museum Shooting and a Dangerous Disguise for Anti-Semitism
The person charged with attacking an American Jewish gathering and killing two Israeli-embassy aides disingenuously invoked the Palestinian struggle as a pretext to harm Jews.

Be sure to vote our Election Night Edition this upcoming Monday, as the polls close at 9:30 PM. Then, come for the pizza and stay for the tech discussions. We don’t know if the venue (Victory Cafe, 440 Bloor St. W.) will turn on the TVs for election results. We usually adjourn before that time, anyway. The festivities start at 6 PM!
Got a hardware demo? Cool! Those are the best! The more you believe in free and open software and hardware in service of a free and open society, the more …

With friends having kids, its fascinating how some will tell me
- "No travels plans for the next 3-6 years, until he/she is big enough."
While others are
- "See you next month! We want to travel a lot while he/she can still be a free lap child"

Sonnet 134 - CXXXIV
So now I have confessed that he is thine,
And I my self am mortgaged to thy will,
Myself I'll forfeit, so that other mine
Thou wilt restore to be my comfort still:
But thou wilt not, nor he will not be free,
For thou art covetous, and he is kind;
He learned but surety-like to write for me,
Under that bond that him as fast doth bind.
The statute of thy beauty thou wilt take,
Thou usurer, that put'st forth …

ugh I will have to get into turning photos into videos won't I? Because this is fun but I NEED MORE COLORS.
dammit, I just want to look at pretty pictures. Pretty moving pictures maybe as it may be, but...
Anyway, if anybody here has experience and knows what the most pain free way is to turn a series of photos into a short video while using linux and not spending money, I'd appreciate advice (*from people with experience*) in this case.

“Discord just made an announcement…” where’s an official link then?
“Feel free to copy and paste to other servers.”
No, I do not think I will.
I’ve already seen this song and dance before. Last time it was about VRChat rippers and crashers supposedly planning to do mass raids on a particular day. So far as I have experienced and heard, nothing came of it.
I don’t appreciate the unverified @everyone spam.

"Maybe one day, after we have conquered code, we will apply what we have learned by giving away our free labor towards the creation of other common goods. Think about it; spending 3 hours a day, but instead of coding, feeding homeless people, planting trees, or helping the elders.
PS: readers of this magazine shape a small yet thriving community, built on top of decidedly positive values."

The leadership of the Unites States has made clear that they will imprison and deport lawful residents who publicly disagree with the government.
This man lives in the US legally, is married to a US citizen who is carrying his child, and is set to be deported because in exercising his free speech rights he said something the government didn’t like.
The emergency is now.

ICE arrests Palestinian activist Mahmoud Khalil
A prominent Palestinian activist who helped lead last spring's protests at Columbia University has been arrested by federal immigration agents. Mahmoud Khalil's lawyer says he was arrested at his apartment near the university by agents who claimed they were acting on a State Department order to revoke his green card. Khalil, who graduated in December, was taken into custody by Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents and was being held at an immigration detention center in New Jersey. His wif…
